"An hour’s drive from Wichita, Kansas, in a little town called Potwin, there is
a 360-acre piece of land with a very big problem."

Great article on the importance of carefully choosing defaults - and also user
interfaces that clearly convey the accuracy with which information is known.

Via Xenophrenia, and also Kee Hinckley and Peter da Silva.

Share and enjoy,
