I got a lot of questions about this: what happened last year, how do you see things. where do we go from here? There are a few things that happened in the last 12 months worth mentioning: Some bloggers realized I am not a fool who wishes death on them (as the song goes), but […]

You go at 20 conferences a year. You have 3-4 workshops a year. When do you have time to experiment and find new ideas to speak of at these events? Do you have new ideas and experiences to tell? Or do you just rewrite what the big boys have found out a year ago and […]

A 17-year old coder is launching a chrome extension to filter out from my personal twitter stream all the references to my favorite shows, so I can’t see the spoilers in case I miss an episode. How it works is I write in the extensions all the tv shows I will probably miss and then […]
