Lego Printer
Saw this a while ago and thought I’d share the awesomeness. Check this printer made entirely out of LEGOs!
Why Bicyclists Should Sue the Federal Government
Discrimination based on the type of vehicle you ride should be illegal, yet we see it all around us. If a car wants to travel from Boston to New York, there’s quite a few dedicated paths for them to choose from. But if a bicycle wants to do the same, they cannot follow the path […]
Why Drivers Shouldn’t Honk at Cyclists
If the honking was to encourage me to move over so you can speed past me, then I usually move further into the lane and block you from passing me.

As if it really needed to be said but…
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!
Lessons Learned from an Accidental rm -rf *
One of the main principles that’s been hammered into me from lectures and experience over my 15+ years of computing is backup, backup, backup. It becomes even more crucial when you start hosting sites, especially sites for other people. On all the servers we run, we backup site and database files nightly, with automated syncs […]
