About five years ago, I took my kids to a petting zoo with baby animals. I was so struck by how cute baby goats were. I couldn't shake the feeling that I had made fundamentally wro…

in all fairness, at that point, he has usually written quite a bit. ;)

Totally, I too am not in a pro vfx type person. But I have been slowly learning Da Vinci Resolve (which is really nice). I'm just a real fan of Serif, which as been producing solid…

What strikes me with the performance is the potential to use the engine for a motion graphics app. Think somewhere in-between After Effects and Apple Motion. This might be wishful …

say experts who are flightless and honestly a little jealous ;)

Except the NYT and Wapo have a much better history of correcting mistakes. Comparing Daily Mail and NY Post to other serious news organizations is really an apple to oranges compar…

Throughout the pandemic I have re-read Anathem several times. The thought of a cloistered community in pursuit of knowledge (mathic society) ends up being my happy place.

The last interaction/version of Bloglines was really quite good, but at that point the user base has switched to Reader.

The real missed opportunity for Google was expanding reader's social/collaboration features into a more robust social network.It would have saved them from trying to ham fist Googl…

I don't think wanting to work on open technologies and other political activities is a binary position. Open software is built by groups of people and one part of building a commun…

If you are a developer and build a product using react. When do you ask the business to buy support? While you're building you assume you'll have to gain your own level of proficie…

Except that he is still using Disqus, which is free to use because they have moved to ad supported model (for the most part). Even if he isn't running the ads, they are using the s…

I can claim anything I want, it doesn't make it legally enforceable

The main difference between this and other sports/events is the moves are facts. They wouldn't be able to broadcast a live video feed. But you can copyright facts.

In MN the Secretary of State makes data files (mostly csv) available to media outlets. We transfer and process them, for national races we we the AP Election API
