Packard Bell, there’s a name I haven’t seen in a while! I remember it was nicknamed “Packard Hell” back in the day because they were one of the first companies to embrace the idea of inexpensive family computers sold in normal retail stores

Browser dev tools are incredible, but they just hit different than view source. The web of the 90s and early 2000s was just so accessible as a kid curious about how it all worked. You could cobble together a personal website on Geocities a

Your comment reminded me of one of the best books I’ve ever read… Mark Manson’s The Subtle Art of Not Giving A Fuck. He talks about what he calls the “backwards law” which is about these counterintuitive truths like the one that you discov

I think readability of HTML is something that people of a certain age just expect. I remember in the early days of the web just doing a “View Source” for interesting websites and learning a lot of really neat tricks to apply to my own webs

Tombstone is a classic. Great movie that I've watched dozens of times and it never gets old. Although he's a controversial man for some of his opinions and beliefs, most of John Wayne's movies are also really good if you don

What specific issues do you have with the dev tooling on iOS? I've actually found Xcode and the simulator to be pretty nice to work with and haven't encountered any show stopping bugs. I've noticed the vast majority of issu

I'm not convinced that Apple's dominance in the US is a result of anything other than simply producing a better product. I was an Android user for a decade and recently switched when the iPhone 12 came out. This is going to read

I have mixed feelings about this technology. On the one hand Neuralink will be groundbreaking for those with disabilities and will enable entirely new classes of human-computer interaction. In theory this could eventually enable a nearly

Fun fact, the US did not have a federal income tax until 1861 to help fund the Civil War. Also there are 8 states that do not have state income tax.
