the book "How to Read a Book" describes the technique in his conclusion in excellent detail. It is essentially about owning the information you are consuming. Personally I think this applies to non-fiction works only. At least in my perso

I'm really sad for purely selfish reasons. My 11 year old really enjoyed hackety-hack up to the point that it worked. Likely it won't be finished now, which is a shame because it was a really great tool for introducing kids...

I've actually signed up my first beta customer, which will be a big step towards an actual product. We use the product for our business, but n+1 is challenging. I'm doing it though. I want those 500 customers and the freedom to work on my o

If I was going to this level I'd probably just use Flex itself. I also think that Balsamiq has the right concept in terms of level of detail.

I've generally charged $50 for my "still learning" rate. I need to raise it to $75 soon I think. On a related note, I started networking lately - going to user group meetings and the like - with a lot of success in regards to my freelancing

I've had my $400 used Aeron for 10 years at home and it is as good as new. All that time I have seen at least 5 lesser chairs crumble underneath me from normal daily use. Do the math.

His grammar book is $161.42 - ouch! I bought the 50th S&W Elements. It is a nice little volume and has some good advice in it. There are certainly better style guides out there - no doubt. It's a guide, not a 6lb 1860 page grammar bible

How mighty of you. You can buy silly mechanical fart machines, cds of farts, whoopee cushions, etc - all of which are many times more expensive (and less fancy) than iFart. So all those people that are looking for a tech bargain and think l

This font is so tiny at 1920x1200. It also has odd brackets when editing XML. I'm a big fan of ProggyClean and Pragmata.
