More trust issues. Scumbag of the Week. Thanks for the lead Kalena!
"...while SpamArrest is protecting me from spam, they're secretly harvesting the email addresses of everyone that has validated themselves to be allowed to email me. SPAMARREST HAS BEEN SPAMMING THAT LIST. On one hand, they protect me, and on the other hand, they're spamming all of the people that I "white listed" and trust." (Source: Jim World Gazette)

Another new word. The myth of discoverability "Discoverability is often defined as the ability for a user of a design to locate something that they need, in order to complete a certain task. It’s common to hear programmers and designers utter the phrase “that won’t be discoverable”, while pointing to a specific command or link they believe users will fail to find. The trap, and the myth, of discoverability is that in any design, not everything can be discoverable."

I'm leaving for a brief vacation to the shore with the love of my life, 3 kids and a puppy. See you next week, in an even more frazzled state than I normally am.
