Dustin Kirkland and Ubuntu on Windows
Dustin Kirkland on his blog: Finally, I imagine some of you — long time Windows and Ubuntu users alike — are still wondering, perhaps, "Why?!?" Having dedicated most of the past two decades of my career to free and open source software, this is an almost surreal endorsement by Microsoft on the importance of open […]

I’m looking forward to Microsoft’s Build conference today. Last year’s presentation left me with a completely different attitude toward the company. Let’s hope they keep up the momentum this year.

Snapchat’s Chat 2.0
Nearly all of the tech coverage I read about Snapchat’s latest update lead with “stickers” being part of the update. Don’t get me wrong, I love Bob the walrus. But how can they not lead with the fact that they’ve added realtime video and voice calling? I remember the first time I ever tried video chatting […]

Giving iCloud Photo Library a whirl. First observation is that it destroys your connection to the Internet. No other device on the network even knows the world exists outside these walls.

IFTTT tries to strong arm Pinboard
Maciej Cegłowski on Pinboard’s blog: It’s entirely IFTTT’s decision to drop support for Pinboard (along with a bunch of other sites). They are the ones who are going to flip the switch on working code on April 4, and they could just as easily flip the switch back on (or even write an IFTTT recipe […]

A photo adventure in Callicoon, NY
Two friends (Matt, Ben) and I have been trying to plan an afternoon just to go out, explore, and shoot photos. Finally we were able to on Saturday afternoon. Left: Ben, me, Matt at Callicoon Brewing Company. We chose Callicoon on a whim but I’m glad we did. The weather was perfect to get out […]

Instagram’s feed going algorithmic may be the best reason to try Snapchat out since they never even had a feed. Interesting times to see how the “feed wars” will end up. I wonder if I’ll even be using Instagram in a year.

Ugh! For weeks I’ve had mobile Safari on my iPhone in “Private Mode” and didn’t know it. I was getting so frustrated that I couldn’t seem to stay logged into anything, I couldn’t see my history across devices (which I rely on) and Continuity wasn’t working at all. It wasn’t until I closed every tab in […]

Auto-link hashtags with jQuery and JavaScript
We had a need for a bit of JavaScript that would look for hashtags (like #this) in content and auto-link them to search results. So I popped over to CodePen and scrawled out some messy jQuery to make that happen. This morning I woke up and thought… “it has been a little while since I […]

Becoming cameras
Matt Hackett, CTO/Co-founder of Beme, on Ev’s blog*: We are approaching a world in which visual and auditory presence at a distance—seeing as another, instantly—is not a rare luxury good, but a basic assumption of society and industry. The superpower of unbounded remote vision is becoming mundane. Periscope, Beme, YouTube, SnapChat. These services were not […]
