parislemon:
Adrian Chen of Gawker writes that “tech news is so phenomenally boring”. A story of mine, Facebook’s iPad app being hidden inside of the iPhone app, is the prime example used.

tjholowaychuk:
Today I am releasing Nib, an extensions library for Stylus, inspired by the SASS compass library. Nib is a very new library with a minimal feature set at the moment, however I need to get some of my semi-finished projects open-sourced to make way for bigger badder things, and I’m already…

I am very excited to be preparing for a talk at the Turing Festival in Edinburgh (last week of August). The subject, not surprisingly, will be “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet - how the Internet will transform business, government and society.” I love that Vint Cerf used “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet”…
