A friend had asked me a question about Flipboard, so I needed to install it on my phone. No big deal, this is what I do. I set up my account, played around with the app, tried to give as credible and useful of an answer as possible and, since it is a nice interface…
It all started when a friend posted to a private facebook group linking to this Craigslist posting… Sure, that’s creepy, but… not as creepy when I read a friends reply saying ‘Hey, that’s a realtor down here… http://www.bcre.com/agents/sam-smith/‘ It has been a while since I tried to play with someone, so… why not… A quick…
Wow, that sure got politicized real quick, but then, really, it should be. It’d be just as if he retired suddenly. It isn’t his death that’s politicized, it is the vacancy. And really, that’s fine. It is a political position, at least in that it is a seat in government. There seems to be three…
So, I was sitting around, laughing about #YallQaeda taking over some bird preserve and then getting a bunch of dildos and candy dicks and complaining about it.

…My bosses, not so much. Last night, after a few drinks, I mailed someone more sober than I that I felt we, as the curators of the Microsoft Developer ecosystem’s social media channels, should be doing something around Ahmed because tearing apart a clock and playing with its innards and building a new clock is…
Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuring aircraft building progress by weight. – Bill Gates I’ve seen it quoted a lot. It sounds right, on the surface, but if you think about it, is it really right? I mean… Here, let me talk about a ‘bug’ some customers found way back when.…
So, as I’m scrolling through Facebook, I come across the following advertisement. So, if you know me, I’m looking to improve myself constantly, and I have a few projects on the burner that could use at least 3 of those topics… so I click through to the ad to see this horrible url: http://learn.generalassemb.ly/choose-to-learn-sea/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=p-ad&utm_term=1-wvblog-dnf&utm_content=brand-name-i-chose-coding&utm_campaign=9FP-SEA You…
