  1. Added more RAM to my iMac bumping it to 16GB. The most RAM I've ever had in a personal machine. Sweetness.
  2. Nice article. Glad this is finally being preached. RT @SpinmanTV: The Simplicity Thesis pulse.me/s/8PaqS
  3. @robhuddles @quetwo Thanks for the registrar recommendations guys. Moving one domain to start to see how things go.
  4. @tfitch Yea, I was talking about a registrar. AWS is good for hosting. I have lots on AWS, Linode, and other pub cloud providers.
  5. TweetDeck (on Chrome) on a 27" iMac is pretty darn awesome. Lots of column goodness.

  14. @AdamBogren Follow up question: What aspect of your job /would/ make you jump out of bed in the morning if it existed?
  15. It's amazing how quickly new Linux boxes come under attack after being given a public IP address.
  16. Ecstatic it's finally opening night of MLB. The new Marlins Park stadium is very very nice. Love the fish tank behind home plate.
  17. @NC5 Thank you!
  18. @NC5 Any info on the power outage in North Nashville? NES site isn't very helpful.
  19. @raelehman That is an awesome idea!
