I’ve been using Apple’s native Mail app for as long as I’ve been using Macs. I got wind of a new email client last week and I wanted to share. I’ve really been liking Airmail. It’s just $1.99 in the App Store, which I think is the perfect price for large-scale adoption. The one thing [...] Continue →

Room for less
The latest Crome Canary comes with a few minor tweaks to search interface. The missing search bar being the most notable. The most interesting thing for me is the search menu (Web, Images, Maps, and eventually, More). It’s interesting because there’s room on that bar to fit more (between “Search tools” and the gear icon [...] Continue →
Learn to make, don’t learn to code
The agony of learning: You sign up for Codecademy. You spend 3 months deciding between Python and Ruby, because you heard Django was more powerful or something but Rails had better community support or something.

Functions in Javascript (are objects too!)
I meant to post this great piece from John Resig last year when I came across it, but forgot. Better late than never! If you’re still in the beginning stages with Javascript, like me, you’ve read countless times that “everything is an object.” That’s pretty cool, I guess. But what does that actually mean? Is everything, [...] Continue →
