I did Recursion, Upgrade and Dark Matter by Blake Crouch and they were all really fun easy reads. Highly recommended.

There are now cart dumpers that can copy and store multiple Switch games on an SD card. If the same form factor is used its likely these will still work for original Switch games.

I run a WP focused agency and can say that apart from the absolutely shitty sales tactics WPEngine are a solid choice for probably 90% of the sites out there. The criticism outlined by Matt in this article is related to their lack of engage

Very annoyed by this change. I had been checking daily on pre-order availability. I'm still tempted because they seem to offer a HoloISO download that is pre-configured to work on the device.

I use and love Loom. I am not happy about this. Their acquisition of Trello was very painful and our company stopped using it because of this. What alternatives to Loom Pro/Team would people recommend?

Very low bloat. And if you use mainly Google cloud based Apps you can get pretty much everything done. The only problem is the lack of a 'premium' model that isn't cheap plastic.

I love this. Super old school sci-fi-tech madness. Reminded me of an Outer Limits TV show episode. It's also very similar to what happens in the movie Predestination.

Finished "When McKinsey Comes to Town" recently. A nice easy read, haunting and funny. It really goes to town on how the McKinsey consultants working in government and private sector will work both angles to get a favourable outco

I love this book and read it at the same time as reading the book “Voyage” by Stephen Baxter that has some similar sections with teams of people quickly building advanced aerospace projects. Because of this two books are interwoven in my br

I was in my mid-teens and a big gamer when Sony entered the ring with the PlayStation and I still cannot to this day get over the fact that they actually did it and became the dominant force in gaming. I remember thinking it was just anothe

I run a remote team and it’s impossible to get anyone to commit to getting together socially. Best we managed was last year when someone left and he lived locally enough for a leaving do. Most of the team just don’t want the hassle of leavi

Watched this a few times since it was released. Real talent and determination. Sounds bad but I've recently put this on a couple of times as background video to fall asleep to as well. Work's like a charm!

Small form factor laptops are my love. I still use the discontinued MacBook that was smaller than any of the Air models. It's underpowered and the battery is going but it's still more than enough for what I need it to do. It'

I closed down http://wonderthemes.com last year. It was a failed WordPress theme marketplace with a focus on higher-rates for designers/developers. You can read about the project in an interview I did here: http://wpcandy.com/presents/th

I'm with you on that - the inbed/outofbed crossover can be a real challenge. Once I'm up and about I'm generally OK, but those moments of pain when I open my eyes to see it's time to get up and do stuff are the killer.

A quick web prototyping tool with no dependencies above what the browser can run (JS/CSS/HTML). I'm stuck using HAML and Bootstrap to throw quick mock-ups together. It's great and works fine but I have to load a pre-processor app (like PreP

On the subject of 'your own money' I recently failed at my first (and only) self-funded start-up: http://wpcandy.com/presents/the-story-of-wonderthemes-starti... The personal loss was not great (around $10k USD) and it was money that I ha

Interesting that you're rundown is the opposite of what I've recently heard. I run a small WP group and we invited a couple of companies to come along and share their experiences in using WP for ecommerce/sales and WP e-commerce was slammed
