The Usefulness of Blog Archives?
by
I’m working on a rebuild of this site because it’s needed it for at least 2 years, and it’s a pretty dang terrible design. One of the main things I’m thinking about is the utility of the tags and categories on the site. Looking through Google Analytics, few people look around either the categories or…
Creative Cloud, I’m not Buying
by
I may be a bit late to the party, but Adobe has announced [Creative Cloud][adobecloud] pricing. If you didn’t know already, I’m [not][adobe1] a [big fan][adobe2] of Adobe. I want a proper competitor to come along and dethrone the beast with bloated software, and Creative Cloud does nothing to change my opinion. As I say…
What I Want in a Cycling Jersey
by
Riding this weekend I dropped my wallet. I was lucky and a kind stranger tracked me down online and returned it with everything intact, but it got me to thinking about some things I miss with my cycling jersey. ### A ‘Safe’ Pocket I think that jersey’s for most riders should have a smallish pocket…
Live Your Eulogy
by
My friend Eric recently wrote about his quest to get the right fit in his life. It seems to me that he is trying to sort out the things that are most important to him and then set about doing them, and in theory, getting someone to pay him for it. Darryl at Loving the…

A company’s core values are what define…

Getting the Right Coding Environment
by

I still find that MacVim is missing things, like completion of functions in a project, or adding extra folders to a project. When…
Light Table on Kickstarter
by
I spoke about code editors and highlighted Light Table earlier. Just saw that Light Table is on Kickstarter. If you think it’s the future of code editors, hope on board. I certainly think Light Table is cool, but I’m undecided about supporting it on Kickstarter.
Making Things More Useful
by
I’ve got a fairly small place and a kid and 4 kayaks and 4 bikes and a couple snowboards and lots of other outdoor gear. Right now this means that my office is in my bedroom. I did a pretty large upgrade to my office this year. This awesome furniture has me thinking about doing…
