I took an archery discovery class a couple weeks ago and fell in love. I'm going back for a three hour class next weekend. I love that stillness before firing off an arrow and the control over my body it requires. Last year I started r

I just did a post about this on LinkedIn (gotta build that cred). Containers aren't a new concept. But in today's world, we're usually talking about the intersection of three Linux features: * namespaces bundle resources (pro

Indie type foundries are proliferating and I've seen so many amazing designs. I wish I could buy them all, but as a programmer I don't get a lot of chance to play with them. This issue doesn't just affect bloggers and small t
