Three Great Bottles of American Saison
Saison was the Gatorade of the 1800s: hydrating and--at least compared with the brackish European well water--restorative. These days, it's often referred to in America as farmhouse ale, and though it's still easy-drinking, crisp, and relatively low in alcohol, it doesn't skimp on flavor like other so-called lawn-mower beers.

A Note About Git Commit Messages
I want to take a moment to elaborate on what makes a well formed commit message. I think the best practices for commit message formatting is one of the little details that makes Git great. Understandably, some of the first commits to rails.git have messages of the really-long-line variety, and I want to expand on why this is a poor practice.

Ebook Formats, DRM and You
When you want to use a different ebook reader, or if the supplier stops supporting the ebooks you’ve bought, you may lose access to your DRMed ebooks.

So to be able to read your ebooks on all the devices you have now, and to be sure that you will still be able to read your ebooks in the future, you will want to remove the DRM.

Vim: revisited
Recently, I decided to give Vim another shot. This time around it was different -- something in my brain switched and now for the first time in my life I’m proud of my knowledge of Vim. My philosophy of it has changed to “less is more”, my approach was more disciplined and my motivation stronger. And so you don’t spend as much time learning as I did, I am going to lay down some fundamentals.

Ruby is a powerful language, but how much power does it have if you remove all of its datatypes except for Proc and all of its features except for Proc.new and Proc#call? I’ll investigate by building proc-only representations of numbers, booleans, lists and strings, and using them to write an executable program.

He's No Dummy: Jason Segel
I had two friends in high school who sort of showed me how a piano works. And I just spent two years being terrible at it until I was good at it. That's just me. There's no way I'm actually intrinsically talented at writing, acting, playing music, puppeteering. It's that I'm willing to be shit at them for a while, until I'm good at them.

Reality as failed state
There is a problematic tendency with a certain type of intellect – the scientist, the technocrat – which assumes that, because it is prepared to organise and change on the basis of dry statistics and data, then, if only everyone else could be exposed to the same data, there would be instant consensus for change. In fact, of course, the majority of human beings do not work like this.
