Spaghetti Code
Programming Pasta | RavenCore Today, I enjoyed the most inane conversation of this year for sure. If you thought that “spaghetti code” was bad, read this. Corey blogged our conversation. Sometimes diving into nonsense helps keep your sanity. Its funny, laugh.
No more space tours after 2010

Abort, Retry, Stumble?
I’m now a firm believer in information overload. Quite frankly, I think that information overload is good for us, we laugh and discover more things than we normally would.
