I pretty much fall into this camp. Having code be obvious is a great way to reduce bugs and make it more maintainable.

The new version of Path Finder looks great (as does the new website). In particular I’m expecting to make good use of the Git integration and the batch rename feature. I’ve been using Path Finder since version three and can’t imagine using my Mac without it.

Everyone else is thinking “he could save some money if he got his dog an iPhone and could send iMessages with him” too, right? (thanks Jim)

We run lean at Crowd Favorite too, but not to this extent. Definitely a few ideas I can and will borrow here. (thanks Steve)

I backed Andrew‘s book on Kickstarter – looking forward to reading it.

This looks more complicated than the merge workflow. It is. It is not hard. It is valuable.

We have our pull command set up to pull --rebase, this is a great overview of why you (almost) always want to rebase. (thanks Sandy)

The next morning the strangest thing happened. I was standing on the station platform in Milsons Point waiting for the train, reading a (Kindle) book on my iPad, and for the first time ever I could see the pixels. I mean I obviously had seen them before, but now I was noticing them every time I looked at the screen. My eyes were tripping over the slightly blurry sub-pixel text rendering when they should have been flowing easily from word to word.

Same thing happened to me. I wasn’t unhappy with the iPad 2 screen, but now it looks terrible.

After basically giving them up a few years back, I can’t drink a whole soda anymore either.

The main reason I’m not interested in LTE (yet): mobile data packages are so limiting you can’t do anything interesting with the additional speed.

I think everyone I respect already reads everything published on Rands in Repose by now, but just in case any of you have been living under a rock…

Tucking this away for the next time I hear someone say “MySQL doesn’t scale” (not that NoSQL solutions aren’t also good tools).

Some great tips, as usual, from Steve. I’d also point out that you need a strategy for how to you plan to update the resources you are telling browsers to cache. I typically favor the “update a query string var” approach.

A nice summary of FavePersonal from Devin. His child theme is on GitHub (with some of my customizations) for those who are interested.

I’ll go to great lengths to book a long flight with Wi-Fi. For me it’s the difference between unproductive versus being more productive than usual. Best thing to ever happen to air travel.

It’s the exact opposite for me. I’m incredibly productive on planes because I don’t have an internet connection (and the associated interruptions of email, etc.).
