Bad idea of the day: A shuffle-novel in the form of an oracle deck, with strange or absurd predictions & the premise that it is describing the life of the parallel version of the reader who lives in the world described by the deck.

Life hack: for your ‘best articles of the year’ list, just post all the articles that had the least traffic. People are gonna disagree with your ranking anyway so just flatten that curve. Finding gems in that dross is inevitable.

Pagenode’s journey mimics my own as a developer. Its current iteration expresses my desire for simplicity.

In 2004, after dabbling a bit with PHP and finally grasping MySQL I set out to build my own CMS. I previously looked at a lot of different CMSes on the market and found all of them to … ⌘ Read more

Bad idea of the day: live your life as though it is a bayesian poisoning attack on the basilisk
