Free mac software for helping people who are less fortunate than you in every possible way (except for wealth of spirit and genuine fortitude).
Or just give some money.
Fucking do it.
Late new years resolution.
For every electronic gizmo and gadget I buy this year, I must first donate the monetary equivalent of the pending purchase to a worthy local, national, or international charity.
Another option is to volunteer (valuing my volunteer time at $10/hr) enough hours to be the monetary equivalent.
Also, a more general goal is to do more measurable good this year than the last 5 years combined. I have...

What Bethlehems said. I have tons of engineering friends who are poor at communicating, and have an even worse sense of culture.
And coming from a former engineering student, I know that 90% of the crap they teach you is never going to be used in the real world anyways.
I’m pretty sure somebody was just trollin’,...
“Take the number of people you think maybe kind of like you, have a crush on you...”

I stand by this. Every word.
Reminder: SparkFun's free day, Today!
You can blame it on Chris Anderson’s book Free. After reading his book, I started kicking around the idea of what we can do that’s ‘free’. Sure, we have free bits (open-source hardware designs, available code, etc.), but we don’t have free physical widgets. Now combine that with our love of creating shear havoc (AVC, C&D letter, Portable Rotary Phone), and you...

A seriously fantastic (and hilarious) article about the limits of the human brain.
One of several favorite paragraphs:
First, train yourself to get suspicious every time you see simplicity. Any claim that the root of a problem is simple should be treated the same as a claim that the root of a problem is Bigfoot. Simplicity and Bigfoot are found in the real world with about the...
Real Men
Plural of man. *Real men* are respectful of women as equals. Love their mamas. Hold doors open. Knock out other men who say stupid ass, sexist bullshit. Will lick pussy after they have been given a blowjob. Bring home an equal paycheck, then do an equal amount of housework and childcare. Don’t get pissed off when their usual superior economic status is disrupted by a social shift that...

2009: The year music got away from me
I just found out Dan Deacon, one of my favorite artists in existence, has a new album. How did I miss that? Oh 2009 indie music scene, I have failed you so much…
