Dave does a really nice job calling out things with a nice mix between “gentle nagging” and “teaching”. If everyone who makes things spent 6 minutes watching this video and then let it seep into their consciousness, I believe they would inherently ask more questions and consider more conditions as they strive to create a…

The golf world finally getting what they want with Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy playing together at The Masters on Sunday.
Sadly, chasing from 10 shots back.

Steve and I have been drooling over this machine for a month now. Mine is also on order, and I am not feeling particularly patient about it. Hurry up and get here!

This is the kernal of a good idea. I predict execution will be frought with edge cases.

Pretty sure we’re watching the best two teams in the tournament with this Kentucky vs. Wisconsin matchup.

Yes, I’m already sporting new swag. I love that you can order one-offs from CustomInk.1 Full disclosure, CustomInk has sponsored this site in the past. ↩

Back in September I went on medical leave at Crowd Favorite. That ended on March 15th and due to a number of reasons, I’m not going to be re-joining the team in my previous capacity. Instead, I will be an advisor to Crowd Favorite while I return to my independent developer roots.1 The largest factor…

Cable modem goes down. I finally boot up my Android phone to tether with it and the cable modem comes back.
I need to remember this solution for the future.
