This is the second-to-last post on this blog.
I haven’t updated this since early February, and while no one has asked about why, I figured I’d say something:
1) I’ve met the woman who I have a good chance of spending the next few years or longer with in November. We’ve been ratcheting things up several notches since.
2) I’ve been busy getting phpfog launched. Our original target was two months ago, but we’ve had a few setbacks
3) All I’ve really ever said here, besides music best-of lists has been quotes. I don’t feel the need to share these any more.
4) I’m eventually going to do up a blog on a different platform, whose uptime I have a bit more control over. Probably static files on github pages or S3; perhaps wordpress on phpfog if I can find a way to tolerate wordpress. I’ll be writing about things with a bit more depth than I ever have here. When I get that going, the link to that will be my last post here.

URLs are for humans. Design them for humans.
Last week made us realize that the reality is a little bit more nuanced. It isn’t mobile that’s overwhelmingly important, it’s the app store.
Have you noticed that Vibram Five Fingers are taking over for the once venerable Birkenstocks as the footwear of choice when you want to flex your tech street cred (especially your cloudy, ruby, node.js, nosql street cred)? Time for DevOps to make it’s own fashion statement?
The Congressional Research Service can’t even count the number of criminal offenses currently on the books in the United States, estimating the number to be in the “tens of thousands.
The piano isn’t for itself, it’s for the “right” college, and for 99% of America the precise college you went to is as irrelevant as the beer you used to lose your virginity. Was it Bud Light or Stella Artois? Same bank account.
I don’t see how Google keeps Flash but drops H.264 in the name of “openness” without being seen as utter hypocrites.
George Zeller didn’t believe in purgatory, and now he’s in it, waiting for the end to come. There isn’t anything else to wait for.
Panoramic stitching is making things worse today because anyone can make an image with nothing in it.
The coming decades—the 21st-century’s ’20s, ’30s, and ’40s—have the potential to be one long, unbroken, recut spoof in which everything in Avatar farts while Keyboard Cat plays eerily in the background.
