It’s good to see @Path delete all data and then give the option to opt-in or opt-out. Wish it wouldn’t have happened in the first place, but at least there is proactive damage control happening http://blog.path.com/post/17274932484/we-are-sorry

I can’t remember how I came across this video, but I’m glad I did. Feel free to watch the whole thing here if you’ve got a spare ten minutes, but if you don’t, here’s the point in just a few sentences. Dr. Mike Evans, the narrator of the clip,…

MCX Records, Printing, and finagling
Disclaimer: This is super nerdy/technical stuff for those who don’t know, for those that do know it’s probably going to sound like I’m a total n00b
Edit: I found this snippet to remove MCX cache on your machine
sudo dscl . -delete /Computers
sudo rm -rf /Library/Managed\ Preferences
If running it with ARD leave out

and run it as the user root

Right now if you buy a computer system and you want to solve one of your problems, we immediately throw a big problem right in the middle of you and your problem; which is how to use the computer.
I think Apple has as chance at solving that problem because Apple is founded on one principle… There is something much different when you have one person and one computer…
I know it’s...

Completely agree here.
I was looking at Google Checkout on my iPad recently and noticed I couldn’t see everything I expected to see and the text was super small. I quickly realized they were treating the iPad the same as the iPhone. Stripping away features because the iPhone is so small.
Bully!

Histories of the traveling libraries →

Some little-discussed history of the traveling library:
One day in 1905, an Allegheny farmer was hoeing a garden patch near the road of his farm when he heard the sound of wheels and hooves behind him. Turning around, he was amazed to find a large and foreboding black wagon drawn by two horses. He was certain it was a hearse.
Indignantly, the farmer waved it on, shouting, “You...

Hey Mac web front-end nerds — look here! I’ve created HTML5 Boilerplate TextMate Template Bundles.
I’m a big fan of the HTML5 Boilerplate created by Paul Irish and Divya Manian. If you don’t know what it is then I suggest you jump over to the official website and educate yourself.
Didn’t realize this existed. Didn’t look too deeply down the rabbit hole to see if...

A sneak peek at View, a new jQuery plugin by me. Yes, me. I write tha javascripts.
I love that there is an ebb-and-flow of complexity and simplicity in technology and design. Sometimes K.I.S is definitely the best way to go.
Love to see it launch along with Fine Goods

Ps Actions FTW
I don’t know why I never did this before, but I just realized I can create guides the way I like ‘em and save it as an action in Photoshop. I often like to start out with a horizontal and a vertical guide right smack in the center of the canvas.
Fired up an action, went to View > New Guide… > Horizontal: 50% then do it again for Vertical and you’re done. Obviously you...

Updating Laptops Galore
Let me preface this with some things.
I used to work full-time doing front-end web stuff and absolutely LOVE it, but a job opened up at a wonderful elementary to be the I.T. Manager so I took it. Now I spend my days keeping around 200 laptops, 7ish Windows machines, way too many Windows servers and way too many Apple servers running so that little ones can grow up to hopefully fix our enormous...

If I'm comfortable…
In two days I’ve heard the same phrase regarding to totally different mediums.
“If you’re comfortable then {fill in the blank} will be comfortable”
The first was regarding 35mm film and the second was today regarding server placement. It’s an interesting phrase but it makes sense.
The same goes for a lot of other things such as lunch meat, dogs, babies,...
