Mine Alone
myinkstainedheart:
I saw you against a backdrop that was a cloudless sky and boldly I said to the moon that man is mine and mine alone- I declared it to the stars, the sleeping plain, to everything around me that could not refute my claim. I said he is mine, I yelled to the passing wind, he is mine and mine alone, not the vale could defy me, neither the listless rose nor the torpid...

My first real wreck today. Busted through the rear window of a cab. Luckily got my elbows up. Coulda been way worse. No, but it was my fault, I was going too fast. The director, Dave Koepp, was extremely concerned for my well-being, but I made him RECord the wound. Anyway, Premium Rush is gonna be awesome. Gratuitous ER footage to follow, stay tuned…

Tumblr Staff: Downtime →
staff:
Yesterday afternoon, during planned maintenance that was not intended to interrupt service, an issue arose that took down a critical database cluster. This brought down our entire network while our engineers worked feverishly to restore these databases and bring your blogs back online.
While you…

(this is a post for Community fans, clarifying an odd rumor about a recent episode. No need to read more if you’re not absurdly obsessed with our show).
I have been trying not to read reviews, and especially the discussions under them, this season, as I have become emotionally fused with our TV…

dresdencodak:
Seeing as how I’ve done both the top ten for best and worst superhero costume redesigns, I feel obligated to put my money where my artistic mouth is and take a stab at fixing or updating some of these costumes. I’ll be taking a similar approach to my earlier take on Batman & Robin, where both…

notch:
Since 1.8 is still a significant time away, we’re going to have to stop being as secretive about it as we have. We’ll provide information about it as we go, but we’ll keep actual details secret. So, for example, we could say “added two new colors” without saying which ones, or “testing experience…

A shot of JD: The most popular Tumblr blogs →
I was thinking about this earlier. No-one pointed me to a list, and I couldn’t find an existing one, so I figured out a very vague, possibly totally inaccurate one out using Compete. I basically listed the subdomains that receive most visitors, which may mean that sites with custom domains…

Agile is a Sham
williamedwardscoder:
thats SCRUM and TDD and all the rest; it is all those new ways of managing development projects and being super-productive and modern and buzzword-compliant; all the sprints, scrums, playing cards crass commercial nonsense.
The management pitch is that by getting programmers to follow some process rote you will get good, predictable results out.
See, the thing is, the...

ryanleecarson:
I think there’s something messed up about the startup culture in the USA. The belief is that you have to work 6-7 days a week and spend all your mental cycles on your company. Nothing but pledging your soul to your startup yields success, right?
Not in my experience.
We work a 4-day week at …

Help me fill this in. I’m trying to keep the language dry. If you have questions, here is a FAQ.

For those that arn’t familiar with jQuery UI, it’s essentially a collection of jQuery plugins that try to do for user interaction what jQuery did for JavaScript. Like it’s parent library, jQuery UI does its very best to remain cross browser compliant. It is easy to implement. It is …

On Tuesday we launched Instagram for Android, and it’s had a fantastic response so far. The last few weeks (on the infrastructure side) have been all about capacity planning and preparation to get everything in place, but on launch day itself the challenge is to find problems quickly, get to the…
