ForkBombr: I'm a Junkie
Well, it’s back:
I started ForkBombr when I left Apple in 2008. At the end of 2009, I posted this, saying I was putting the site on hold:
I decided to simplify in 2010. I’ve stopped checking Google Reader religiously, and am toning it down on Twitter. I’m writing for me for the first time in years, doing some research for Operation Broken Silence, working to improve Memphis with various...

Putting a computer in the DMZ is really, incredibly stupid. As secure as OS X is, this puts your machine out in the open. The much safer solution is port forwarding. This puts your router in-between your...

It kept suggesting I use Poplar to get places on my bike. If you’re from Memphis, you know that’s suicide.
Had a design breakthrough for a project at work while in the shower this morning. The best part? It wasn’t for the project I’m supposed to work on today. CHANGE OF PLANS!

Apple sues HTC for infringing 20 iPhone patents →
klipe:
This sort of bullying behavior is something I’m not willing to have my money support, especially when user interface patents (mostly for stuff that’s obvious) are involved. Way to go, Apple. Your never-ending quest to control everything continues.
Johnny Cash's Complicated Faith →
“Being a Christian isn’t for sissies,” Cash said once. “It takes a real man to live for God-a lot more man than to live for the devil, you know?
