I'm sorry you missed it.

Google Engineer said "Well, it's obvious for all the whining about Google Reader being gone, if it was really something they'd have made a replacement by now".

Google Engineer needs to get back to making every icon a multi-color mess

the fact that an engineer at Google thinks switching apps is a zero-friction process says everything about the quality of product they're churning out these days

lol.. well the choices are not great.....

So many people say making YouTube videos is “so easy” and hardly any work.

“You just turn on a camera and work one day per week, if that, so why’s it so hard for you to be consistent?”

oh wow the thing that everyone said would happen if companies added backdoors happened

watch as no one learns anything from this

My life as a @java developer: write tutorials, shit works, nobody complains.

this is only half of the puzzle.

Also... I still have most of my lights. ;) I just sold off the stuff that prevented me from actually walking around my studio.

The lighting guy is coming to the dark side

#HTML/#UX tip for today:
