Interesting idea, and nicely coined. As long as teams or individuals set modular and attainable (hard, but attainable) goals, one-dayers put a constraint on participants, and stimulates the subconscious to strive for better focus and communication. Reaching the predefined goal in a day is its own reward. I can imagine myself working with more zeal for that satisfaction at the end of the day. One-dayers can also be used for scoping/investigative work: they are short enough in duration to not be crippling in the larger scheme of things.

Fuck It, I'm Going Back to Firefox 11 years ago
I switched to Chrome a few years ago for the same reason. Another reason was Chrome had an 'omnibar' that takes in both urls and search queries. I was instantly sold on that.
Japan Has More Car Chargers Than Gas Stations 11 years ago
It would be cool to see more automakers invest in an infrastructure dedicated to electric vehicles (not necessarily limited to charging). EVs are not mainstream today, but they most likely will be in the near future. I see a vague connection with mobile ecosystems like iPhone and Android. Heavy investment in the mobile development infrastructure is paying off. It's giving device/app makers more leverage to turn ideas into products. A great infrastructure definitely helps drive adoption.
