   I'm surprised how little I've seen someone trying to sell pickaxes for the gold rush of podcasting. I don't know whether that's an indicator of a trend, or whether the domain knowledge just makes such a venture unfeasibl

   I get less and less comfortable using my Fever RSS reader (www.feedafever.com), which was made before FireSheep and HTTPS were part of the public conversation. I don't know of any services that come close, but although I don't hav

   Dropbox is literally the worst app on my MacBook Air. It's such a POS, it blows my mind that Dropbox can suck so hard on a platform as important as OS X. I had to give up syncing some parts, because the problems would create a bevy of

   The Jekyll folks are always nice and chipper. And disgustingly productive. :)

   The Do Not Disturb feature with defined DND times goes a long way on iOS. Definitely recommend it, and yes, receiving notifications at 2AM can be a total pain.

   Jekyll has a huge community, is actively maintained (it being the backbone of GitHub’s blog system) with plenty of plugins, and has pretty decent documentation (that can always be expanded with a pull request). I find those factors tend to

    I highly recommend skeleton.css (getskeleton.com) as a minimal theme for bootstrapping any website. Almost no learning curve, and it looks good, even if you don't use the HTML it prefers. That said, I have customized it a bit, but it&#

    IPOs didn't require the roadshow they do nowadays either, which will keep Jack well occupied, when Square goes public.

    Can you add a button in the browser for turning it on and off? :) Thanks for the extension.

    As old as the web can feel at time, we are so blessed to have Georgia as one of the standard fonts. It is such a good serif font, which is also why I think a lot of the typography out there is more ornamental than necessary.

    I can just reach all of my screen, and I have freakishly large fingers. I whined, when they released the 5 to replace the 4, but the form factor fortunately walked right up to the limit of reach. I don't understand why it's intuit

    Yeah, I actually liked the idea of the iPhone #c, but for now, we're just to get a 5S getting more and more obsolete. It seems dumb to just throw away that form factor, but I guess they found they couldn't manage the logistics of

    My MacBook Air 2012 shuts down at ~50% battery, and my iPhone 5S at 15%. Meanwhile, my ancient Thinkpad T500 I owned before the MBA is alive and kicking, and when its battery gave out after three years, I could just order another battery to

    And the problem with those features is that the graph isn’t linear but exponential. The last 10, 1% of features are always 90, 99% of the work, and the thing that dissuades people like me from using something else without those features. Pr

    You can use gfycat for this. I converted the first one to demo: https://gfycat.com/CornyHonorableFrillneckedlizard . Should be very easy to do, although you'll lose metadata and potential credits, of course.
