So, it looks I’m going to be canceling Moviepass tomorrow. It was a nice ride while it lasted, but I think it’s definitely time to get off this train, and frankly, I’d suggest everyone do so as well because there some severe BULLSHIT going on. Here’s the deal… Tonight, I went to see The… Continue Reading That’s it, I’m done with MoviePass. Cancellation in 3… 2… 1…
ORIGINALLY POSTED JULY 29, 2016 For a long time, I’ve been becoming more and more convinced that the approach to developing complex web-based SPA UIs is going in the wrong direction. There is now an incredibly heavy dependency on CSS and markup and it’s made modern web development a lot more complicated than it’s ever… Continue Reading Building web UIs: an unconventional viewpoint (now with surprising supporting evidence?)

This is the era of software subscriptions… Continue Reading The problem with Software as a Service subscriptions
ORIGINALLY POSTED JUNE 9, 2012 Ok, let’s get this out of the way quickly: If you haven’t seen Prometheus yet and don’t want anything spoiled, LEAVE. NOW. QUICKLY. DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER! This is your last warning! Lots of evil spoilers in 3… 2… 1… Still here? Ok then, you asked for it… I… Continue Reading My Prometheus theory
ORIGINALLY POSTED MAY 30, 2012 So, let’s put this right out front: I’m not a scientist. Not an astronomer, not a physicist, not a cosmologist, not even a boring old chemist. What’s worse is that I’ve historically been pretty bad at math! Oh, I’ve gotten better over the years through a concerted effort to do… Continue Reading Debunking Planet X/Nemesis/Nibiru colliding with the Earth on or before 12/21/2012
ORIGINALLY POSTED APRIL 19, 2012 Tonight at the Philadelphia Java User’s Group meeting I had a chance to hear Eric S. Raymond, aka ESR, speak.
