Scott Berkun has captured some great ideas and observations in this first-person narrative that recounts his time at Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com. I found Scott’s story to be interesting and self-aware; an introspective and honest account of how his team operated. I am fortunate to be friends (or at least friendly) with many of…
I’m excited to play with this.
I often find myself in a situation where I need to interrupt my development to focus on writing something; but I don’t want to screw up my development environment (open apps, browsers, consoles, terminal windows, etc.). I used to use OS X’s Hide Others command (Command+Option+H) from the Application Menu, but recently I’m trying a…
For the last few months I’ve been trying something new to visually organize my priorities. I’m using the built-in OS X Stickies app as a visual organizer. I have a separate desktop that I use just as a Stickies board. It’s easy for me to switch over to it as needed when I want a…
I imagine this could make life in Minnesota somewhat bearable.
I was able to get in a late round of golf this weekend. The weather was perfect. We finished just as it got too dark to play.

I learned how to make a pie this weekend (crust, etc. from scratch). This is a good skill to have acquired.
But really, who wants a skinned cat?
The content images on this site are now HiDPI-friendly! We’re still considering the plugin in beta (make sure to grab the develop branch) – this site is the guinea pig. As you can see, I’m feeling pretty chuffed about it. (Photo via Frontback) This post is part of the thread: Content Presentation – an ongoing…
When they encounter a paid product, they are likely doing the same thing they do when they encounter the paywall on a web site: find a free alternative.
This is an interesting way of looking at the App Store.
If anything, this shows that more than ever before, closed source software is fundamentally untrustworthy.
I wouldn’t feel right about shipping software that didn’t include source or allow customization by the licensee (even when it’s not Open Source licensed).

What a week.
Oh, it’s just Thursday?
