Over at my employer's website at navarik.com, we've started posting more frequent updates on our Windward company weblog. Some recent interesting stuff (largely technology-focused for now, though we hope to post shipping news more often) includes:

• Academic studies from Stanford show ten ways that websites can improve their credibility with their visitors.
  
  
• Treating computer users as if they were lab mice is not as insulting as it sounds.
  
  
• If there are going to be software patents, here's how they should work.
