<< I know people at Slack, and I know they're smart, capable and caring people. But once you hear "swastika made of dicks" it's kind of over for the new logo. >>

<<The fact that I cannot remember the last time the internet made me feel, on balance, less anxious and better about other people tells you something about how much has changed online since 1999, 2001, and even 2007. >>

This looks very interesting. It appears that Trump's favourite blackmail vendor, the National Enquirer, has declared full-scale hybrid warfare on Jeff Bezos and is now taking credit for ending his marriage. $144 billion of hurt.

I wonder what other leverage Trump might have on the man whose computers host the CIA's cloud and most corporate data in the world?

It's probably not relevant to IT security.

Just picked up Journey Away by @jskellogg. This looks really interesting and I can’t wait to try it out! I mean, my mba classes start next week so I kind of HAVE to wait, but at least I can have fun reading the book!

Protip:

When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,

"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes

I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."

hot n fresh gaming meme from me to u

I really hope we funnel our energy into supporting all kinds of creators in 2019. But also, I would love to see people have a more temperate and open appreciation of what they enjoy. Passion is great, but aggression and gatekeeping? That's wack.
