Programmer Interrupted
Classic. Why you shouldn’t interrupt a programmer, by The Slightly Disgruntled Scientist.
The Hostile Email Landscape
This isn’t how the internet is supposed to work. As we continue to consolidate on a few big mail services, it’s only going to become more difficult to start new servers.
Short read and great illustration on trends that can threaten the open internet.
It’s a catch 22 – Gmail is so damn good, which is why so many people use it, but by using it we contribute to the problem.
Give me convenience or give me death, right?

Michelle & Blair
My little sis (in law) moved out to Australia a bit over a year ago. It was great to have her and her boyfriend, Blair, in town for the past week. Unfortunately I was sick for most of their visit.
My wife and I drove Michelle and Blair to Dulles to catch their flight out this evening, and the four of us spent the afternoon in DC. I’m so happy for Michelle, and I can’t wait to see the two of them again.
The day in DC was kind of cray, and I wish I had taken more pictures. Here’s a few scraggly iPhone snaps of our day.

The Cost Of Mobile Ads
We measured the mix of advertising and editorial on the mobile home pages of the top 50 news websites ā including ours ā and found that more than half of all data came from ads and other content filtered by ad blockers.
I’m not at all surprised. Well, maybe a little. More than half of all data in the sample is ads. – leading the pack is boston.com, 38.9 second load time reduced to 8.1 seconds without ads. Holy cow.
