John Adams’ views on emerging technologies, software engineering, and various hacks
Two great presentations I’ve recently read and want to share with you:
Tim O’Reilly and John Battelle’s “Web Squared: Web 2.0 Five Years On“.

Normally I don’t re-post Twitter articles here but this one on the New York magazine was wistful, fair, balanced, and gave a good representation of what it’s like to work here.

Those that were lacking in an actual LOLCat slide featured lots of LOLSpeak. I know we’re discussing [...]
