   I disagree. I think the only people who back this idea are the startup CEO's trying to keep tabs on their remote employees. I get more done from home because I can avoid this exact kind of distraction. This is another idea developed by extr

    Thanks for the feedback. They are simple, but I believe they can save people a great deal of time still. Customizing bootstrap so it doesn't look like bootstrap can take a few hours. I tried to make the prices very cheap. All three themes f

    Just finished that book last night. It was a good read, but deeply unsettling for some strange reason. His intelligence decline at the end makes the reader feel like retardation is a very near threat to all of us. It's one of those threats
