Me too :) I loved Serial Experiments Lain's foregrounding of things like power lines... many people might find them unattractive, but good art can change how you see things.

I went out to lunch with someone who knew their way around it, and I was surprised how far you could walk underground. It's kind of cool, too, because it feels like a secret, because it feels half-baked (e.g. one of the parts went thro

I definitely like offline note taking, but I don't know if it's a deal-breaker. I agree that Evernote's collaboration is weak (which is fine, Evernote's focus is personal notes - and I think it makes sense to have a note

I actually look at the "employee" strategy as very similar to freelancing. As an employee, I see myself as a single-person business, and the companies that I work for are my customers. Just like a freelancer, I choose what compani

Agreed. I have a 2013 model, and decided to stick with it after seeing 16Gb is still the most memory available. I will not upgrade to a new Macbook until they have at least a 32Gb option.
