One of the best take aways from this years’ Web2.0Expo/NY for me was the introduction to CoffeeScript. This was done during The New Startup Stack workshop by Trevor Burnham. Which he runs us into a quick overview of CoffeeScript, Node.js and MongoDB.
If you have an understanding of JavaScript and has not seen CoffeeScript yet, it will behoove you to watch this video by Bodil...

Friends, family and awesome people I hang out with on the internet,
Cancer sucks. It’s affected so many people in my life and if the current trends are any indication, it’s going to affect one of us someday in the future, too.

The reaction to my post on the game of tech blogging the other day was fascinating. About half of you found it to be an honest, insightful account. The other half seemed to think I was an arrogant prick. Fair enough. Obviously, I was going for the former.
But the latter reaction honestly did surprise me. It’s not like I was saying anything crazy. If you’re close enough to anyone...

There’s a lot to pore over with Facebook’s new iPad app and the new HTML5 mobile app platform. But I think Matt Rosoff of Business Insider has keyed in on the most important thing that’s currently being drowned in spin:
Facebook won’t let developers use Facebook Credits on the iPhone or iPad.
Obviously, in the native app, Facebook would have to give a 30% cut to Apple for any...

The biggest challenge I faced as a tech blogger was a simple one: motivation. By that, I don’t mean that it was hard to write — it never was. But towards the end, it was getting hard to get excited to write on a daily basis. I needed to be driven. That’s when I’m at my best.
Tech blogging is a game. Most of those still doing it probably won’t admit it, but it is. That’s the only...

Apple's "Fall From Grace" →

This is, quite simply, one of the worst pieces I’ve ever read on Apple.
Zach Epstein starts off trashing Apple’s iPhone 4S announcement as perhaps “the beginning of the end” — and does so citing a bunch of analysts.
Analysts.
As anyone who watches Apple closely knows, analysts are absolutely fucktarded when it comes to Apple. If you bet directly against what they’ve said about...
