Anarchaia was the first, but there are many copies. And they
have a plan.
It’s not that it’s so amazing that we’ve collectively ‘forgiven’ him—that, in fact, is only proper, a return to reality from a clearly insane injustice of the past. What had me in such awe is that he’s forgiven us.

Why should small indie web developers trust Google when the first example app is a Google rip-off of a small indie web app?

Give me a plate of fried clams and a Corona and a sunset (or, in the absence of a sunset, a Red Sox game on the TV) and I am happy as a pig in shit.
Stevey’s released
a new JavaScript
major mode for Emacs. I hope to update my comparison of the
various JavaScript major modes to include a review of
js2-mode in the near future, but I’m not
going to make any promises.
My initial impression: so far so good, though the default
indentation behavior and syntax highlighting leave something to
be desired. I’ve updated color-theme-hober2
to include js2’s faces.
After the microformats dinner Friday night, a bunch of us went to The Lamplighter for karaoke. Unbeknownst to Jeremy, however, a plan had been hatched over dinner. The ultimate revenge for rickrolls past. It was awesome.
Just read (in last week’s Mariner) that the Irish Air Corps’ pipe band was in Scituate’s Paddy’s Day parade this year. Had I been in town for it, I’d have worn the hat Erin made for me.
Yes, I get my (Massachusetts) hometown newspaper in the mail, about a week late. I wonder how many other west coast subscribers there are.
I had a Sun Type 6 USB keyboard from April 2001 until yesterday, when I spilled coffee on it.

There is very little moral high ground on this planet. What little there is can be occupied by a small number of individuals, and precious few organizations of any size.

Since I switched to using Markdown to write my articles in, I have lost the facility to easily distinguish italicized book titles from italicized anything else—but after years of careful, pedantic mark-up with no reward I find I don’t care any more.

awwwh, Heath Ledger is dead
awwwwh
he was your age
d’oh
I had to look up who heath ledger was
you could have asked
I figured you didn’t know, I’ve had to explain who he is multiple times
heh
I guess the reason everyone else knows him and I don’t is because I’ve never seen “10 things I hate about you”
you have too!
we netflixed it
I have?
which one was it?
taming of the shrew
letters to cleo
oh right
you like my synopsis? ;)
I got it at ‘letters to cleo’
but I don’t really remember the movie
awwh
they played on the roof of the school at the end
yeah, I figured that’d be the trigger
that’s about all I got
Newsreaders still feel it is worth a special and rather worrying mention if, for instance, a crime was planned by people ‘over the Internet.’ They don’t bother to mention when criminals use the telephone or the M4, or discuss their dastardly plans ‘over a cup of tea,’ though each of these was new and controversial in their day.

The 3 signs of a miserable job are:
I’ve been in a position or two where #3 played a big factor in my job dissatisfaction. While it’s true that we hire people because they fit the job description, it’s important to always remember that we hire people, we don’t hire job descriptions. The people we hire have other skills, desires, and passions; smart companies utilize the whole person, not just some pre-conceived piece of them.
Will on liberalism, nationalism, immigration, and guest-worker policy (emphasis mine):
My long-term aim regarding migration is the best feasible approximation of a single global labor market—a world in which people are free to travel the world in search of the most valued use for their skills. That this idea should seem shocking to some (most?) of us reveals how deeply-seated are our essentially illiberal nationalistic impulses. But there is nothing new here[…]
[This] conception of cosmopolitan liberalism almost got lost in the Cold War, during which cosmopolitan, internationalist ideals were largely ceded to the communists while liberalism rode out the red tide by tying itself defensively to nationalist feelings in those nations with a more or less liberal identity. The Cold War has been over for almost twenty years now. It is time to get back to the project of securing world peace through extending the scope of mutual cooperation.
