I think a great way to get to know someone is by taking a look behind the scenes, so here is a (somewhat) current screenshot of my desktop (taken November 23, 2011).

What you will find on this site are my personal thoughts on topics of interest to me. While I mainly focus on technology I will stray from time to time. There are three main post types: links, articles, and quotes. Link posts are my comments on stuff I read elsewhere on the Internet. Articles are my thoughts (typically long-form) on any given topic. Quotes are, well, quotes.

What you won’t find here is short irrelevant content.

This is not my full time job. Because of this, I welcome you to:

Around the Web

I co-host The B&B Podcast with Shawn Blanc — this is our weekly tech talk show. We try to stay on topic, but I wander.

Interviews

There have been a few brave souls that interviewed me, check those out:

• Intrvws
• MacSparky
• MacStories
• Mac Crunch
• WorkAwesome Podcast
• Writers I Read on Forkbombr
• Remacable interview

Disclosures

I own stock in UPS, Microsoft, Abercrombie & Fitch, Oracle. I have owned this stock since 1999 and seriously doubt that it clouds my judgment as should be evident from my general distaste for most of what Microsoft is doing these days and the fact that I don’t ever wear Abercrombie clothing. Though I only ship with UPS — so there probably is some shipping industry bias.
