Having Less
Posted on
When I left my last job a few months ago, I decided to simplify. Partly to save money to pay for my expenses and partly to just have less stuff.
Currently, the only furniture in my apartment is my desk, bed, and table. I'll also most likely be selling my table when I move out of my current apartment. Having almost nothing is fantastic. No TV to distract. No couch to lounge on. Focused.
I spend most of my day working at my desk or outside riding my bike. It's been really great for keeping me focused on Cheddar.
Pulp 2.5

Acrylic always impresses. Pulp 2.5 for Mac and iPad is really beautiful.
Coda 2
Posted on
Panic just released their Coda 2 teaser site. It's ridiculously impressive.
In the tour video, they are editing a WordPress site and uploading files via FTP. Back when I was doing PHP, Coda was my go to editor. It looks like it's still targeted at that market. On the list of new features is "Improved Ruby." Fingers crossed.
Their fancy CSS editor looks amazing. If that and the iPad preview work with SASS, I'll be very, very happy.
Why the Facebook IPO Matters
Posted on
Facebook's IPO was today. Unless you're living in a cave, you already knew this. Facebook's IPO is a big deal.
A bunch of people not too far from here just became millionaires (or will be very shortly). All of these now super rich Facebook employees are going to spend this money. Housing near the Facebook office has been going up and up in price. Buying a ridiculous house is where I'd start, but that's only a few million.
What would I do after I buying a sweet house and a Tesla? Invest in some smart kids making something cool in San Francisco. The bubble is just getting started.
WebKit CSS Variables
Posted on
CSS variables were just added to WebKit. This probably won't make it into a browser for awhile, but still really exciting.
The sad thing is the syntax is just horrendous.
Awhile back there was some discussion on the mailing list about copying how SCSS does it. It's a shame that didn't happen.
