I love Trello and use it all the time, but since we're beefing about it, I've got two main issues to share: 1. The search is awful. I won't really elaborate on this except to say it's often really hard to find stuff and

This is an interesting observation and I'm looking forward to trying it. It probably fits in with another common (I would guess) experience, which is when you are so wet in the rain, that you cease trying to remain dry. That is often

The Times produced a great little app for seven-minute workouts, which apparently provide many of the benefits of more intensive exercise regimes and can be done entirely at home. The app: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/proj

I love some of Le Guin's works, although I found that some are much better than others. I would definitely recommend reading The Left Hand Of Darkness, I think it stands out among her best. The follow-up, The Dispossessed, I thought w

I don't agree. I think that this quote expresses a more modern understanding of human transgressions such as adultery than what was present in the culture at that time. It called into question whether in fact capital punishment was a

I think the endorphin theory is a pretty common explanation, but I think for me and for many others it's largely about flavour. I enjoy the flavour of chili peppers, and I also enjoy how spiciness brings out other flavours in food and

Simply brilliant. I understand some of the criticism of TED but I've seen stuff - like this clip - that is so damn good, I don't really see what all the fuss is about. And since we're talking about Reggie Watts, I have to sh

That's easy when you have just one, or a handful, of production projects to maintain. When you have hundreds it's a vastly different story. But that's where I think https://railslts.com/ comes in.
