This is sad, like a piece of my geek childhood dying. I would sometimes email him when he was writing for PC Magazine and as a 14 year old it was cool that he always emailed back, engaged in thoughtful conversation.

California has the biggest agriculture, port and manufacturing base in the US basically. The county orders contradict the state. OC is letting factories stay open with conditions and LA is saying the port stays open as well as the trains, a

Scannable was and still is one of the best "take a picture and scan a document" apps out there. But Evernote, which has 15 years of my life stored in it, sucks.

I worked with REM for the past 20 years. This article is dead on. Learned more from that band about management than from any business mentors.

I love Trello, but they never got enterprise sales down. SSO isn't federated, and the ACL system is leaky (much like Google Drive). It also is too religiously adherent to the card metaphor (understandable) which works in most contexts

My usage transitioned over time from a more mundane "here's what I'm up to" to more of a pulpit. I became bored with bother versions of me.

I disagree on this. The companies culture is only a matter in terms of how it manifests within the product itself and the things around the product. It isn't THE product. I don't buy a product because their CEO's salary is pu

Isn't it for most companies you buy their product because the product is good? Radical concept I know.

Buffer is similar to a lot of companies that are obsessed with being companies rather than about the products they make.

Doesn't work like that. They want to use a J28D engine modified for super sonic flight. That engine was designed to power MD80's.

An unconventional one, but important: Microserfs by Douglas Coupland It's 20 years old, and dated in terms of technology but a good overview of valley culture in the mid 90's.

I am really excited about this. I have run a forum for going on 12 years now, first on Vbulletin and now Invision. I don't even use the forum anymore because it is so painful. It's a pain to maintain, to use and run. I have always wanted to

The rudder deflection on the cross-wind one is the most interesting. The landings is just a lot of ILS approaches so not much variance, although you can see the auto-pilot compensation on the LHR approaches, which is kind of cool. Cross win
