Picking Time
It’s not often that new user interface conventions are born – or popularized. Even less so within the realm of web development. I’d argue that Sparklines and Lightbox are two of the best examples of UI conventions that were popularized on the web.

Tarsnap public beta
Tarsnap's paranoia also extends to the client-server protocol. With most online backup services, you're lucky if they use SSL; I avoided using SSL because I wasn't satisfied with its security. Obtaining a fraudulent SSL certificate is too easy (read: possible) for an attacker, and relying on external certification…

My Open Wireless Network
Whenever I talk or write about my own security setup, the one thing that surprises people—and attracts the most criticism—is the fact that I run an open wireless network at home. There’s no password.

Knuth: Recent News
Leading banks and investment funds have been foundering, because of bad debts and lack of trust; and other, less well-known kinds of fiscal chaos are also on the horizon. For example, due to an unfixable security flaw in the way funds are now transferred electronically, worldwide, it is no longer safe to write…

How to Meet Your Next Cofounder
Over the last few months I’ve seen a number of people looking for cofounders on Hacker News or via their own personal blogs. I think this is, at best, a highly inefficient way to find a cofounder and, at worst, a way to fool yourself into finding the wrong cofounder. In any case, it’s a naive approach to finding the…

Review of Intel's New X25M SSD (same one Torvalds has) in a new MacBook Pro
It has almost been a year since I wrote about the future of computing and how I thought that it was all about Solid State Drives (this was before I became infatuated with the cloud). Well I finally got my hands on one. It's Intel's new X25-M 80GB SSD and it is among the fastest consumer-aimed SSDs o
