hPDA and My Field Notes
by
Joe Buhlig has a short post about the awesome uses for his Hipster PDA. I still carry around my Field Notes book, though I don’t use it as much as I once did. I’m more likely to put my bag down and pull out my Bullet Journal.
Eating Meat Versus Environmental Impact and Nutrients in Our Bodies
by
A little while ago I shared an article on The Impact of Eating on Our Planet. It basically said that meat is not great for the environment because it takes lots of land to produce, but going vegetarian is not quite the answer either because clearing land for farming removes forest and peatland that sequester
Experienced Developers Just Google Better

Love this post from Sophie. In an attempt to dispel the idea that if you have to google stuff you’re not a proper engineer, this is a list of nearly everything I googled in a week at work, where I’m a software engineer with several years’ experience I’ve long maintained that after 10-years coding I

I Can’t Break Into Your House and Take Back What I Sold You
by
Cory Doctorow on DRM When I was a bookseller in Toronto, nothing that happened would ever result in me breaking into your house to take back the books I’d sold you, and if I did, the fact that I left you a refund wouldn’t have made up for the theft. Not all the books Microsoft
The Impacts of Eating on Our Planet
by
