I actually find the politics of popular music fascinating. I'm not scoffing at Radiohead (alright, I am a bit) but pointing out the cultural/socio-political context of the band. Which is a position borne of privilege and the self-

Noel Gallagher says it well, granted, he's no longer a working man, but he hails from the section of society I am talking about. And he's pretty eloquent in his put downs; http://consequenceofsound.net/2015/11

Recently I've been building a site using Ionic 2 (which sits on top of Angular 2). The way it is structured encourages a single scss file per page/component. It feels much clearer to create and apply the css to individual componen

Every time I hear a story like this I am amazed. The cause of this is not complex or difficult. It's basic stuff.
