Strange they don't mention he was the one who broke the Te'o story for deadspin. Definitely a good twitter follow

To people who follow sports news, Burke is known as the person who helped unmask Manti T’eo’s fake dead girlfriend. But it is his particular talent for GIFs — which he posts on Deadspin, Twitter and his own Web site, 30FPS — for which he is known. Not only are his GIFs considered to be of high quality, but he also seems to have a sixth sense for identifying the exact moments to capture.

Yep, choosy developers choose gif.

"The Oxford English Dictionary accepts both pronunciations. They are wrong. It is a soft ‘G,’ pronounced ‘jif.’ End of story." -– Steve Wilhite, the inventor of the GIF, on its pronunciation. Mr Wilhite was the recipient of a lifetime achievement award at the Webbys.
 
sounds like a good way to slowly drive yourself insane, and get fat and divorced along the way.

I don't care if he invented it. He's wrong and I won't accept any argument to the contrary.

They got married less than a year ago. She knew what she was getting into.

When has that ever stopped a woman from trying to change the man she chose to marry!
