How Gnarly are the Cobbles at Roubaix?
by
If you want some idea of how hard the cobbles are in the Paris Roubaix you need to watch this video. Even if you’re not in to cycling, you can appreciate the camera work. I watched it last year and for the life of me could not find it again this year. Props to [@mchaste][mc]…

Anyone Can Be Good, Only Some Can Be Great
by
Awesome post by Edward Cassie on sweating the little details. I was just thinking about that at my local bike shop when I looked at the cable housing they replaced. Sure it all works fine, but instead of a black cable end (which matches the rest of the bike) they used the standard silver. Sure…

Captcha’s Still Suck
by
I wrote long ago about how Captcha’s are terrible for site usability, seems that one company wants to solve it by making them mini games. I must applaud the effort to change how they work, and make them easier for users to pass while still hard for machines. Captcha’s still suck though. I still stand…

by
[Ben Brooks][bb] wrote a [fantastic article][bbart] about free content and the expectations that were set eons (at least in web terms) ago about content being free. I am already a [member][mem] of [Shawn Blanc’s][sb] site. I pay $3/month so he can write full time, and I’m happy to do it. Paying for his content at…

I’ve Had Crappy Managers
by
Sometimes I think that working for myself contracting sucks, then I remember what it was like to be employed full-time and I remember that it sucked more. On top of sucking more I had a boss that I had to report to and there were more crappy ones than good ones. … people become what…

Finally a New Design
by
If you follow me on Twitter you’ll be familiar with my extreme distaste for the old site design. I loved it when I made it, but that was 3 years ago and I’ve changed. Visit the site for a new design. I built it using [LESS][less] and my development theme [Comienzo][com]. My first real dig…

Looking at a Writing Workflow
by
Frederico Viticci shared his writing workflow. I too centre my files around Dropbox. My preference for writing app on iOS is iAWriter and I don’t use Evernote, I’ll write about why an everything bucket just hasn’t worked for me some other time. I use Instapaper to store article I want to read and maybe write…
