I owe my entire career to the high school internship I had in the IT department at Cyrix in Richardson, circa 1996. It was awesome. Learned everything about building PCs for employees and Windows networking. So much free hardware walked out the door -- usually stuff that was slightly out of date, just stacks of it everywhere. Spent the next three summers there through college too. It was really exciting there at that time, Internet age just taking off. They had beer at 4PM on Fridays out back.

Everything went downhill with the series of acquisitions. Anyway, I'm grateful for my time there... I can trace where I am now directly back to the guy who first gave me a chance there.

cool name i've never seen before... currently struggling to come with a new baby girl name. might bring this one up. :)

oh good, it's not just me and my already bad first day of the year... is it too early to start drinking?

Moved all my domains and many of my friends' domains to namecheap a few years back. I'm always impressed by how quick and informed customer support is whenever I have an issue. Good job, guys.

top notch original photography in that article.

How badly will Microsoft fuck this up once the deal is closed? I can't imagine they're going to be able to successfully make this app secure.

As a small time musician with about 20 albums in as many years up on the streaming services, I am 100% fine with this trade-off. I get basically nothing, but in return I can share my musically instantly with anyone. It's pretty awesome really. It would suck to have to make a living off music or art.

I'm still uncertain how I'm supposed to lead twins through online Kindergarten and write software all day. They can't even fucking use scissors without my help.

I just finished watching Fargo Season 2 last night... the massacre at Sioux Falls. :)

very nice... curious if you could embed it easily into another site or even wordpress page? I have had an HOA membership page that is backed by a Google Spreadsheet with some crap Sheets plugin that's always having trouble.

I'm really tempted here. I've got a paid Ableton license, and I absolutely love Ableton, but it's the main thing keeping me from dumping Windows 10 for Linux.

Guess you haven't seen Mad Men? It's Don Draper's department name. They say it all time referring to the team who creates the ad ideas.

Just looked it up and we're only in the top 50 (insert crying smiley).

it was acute gut-wreching pain that we weren't sure what to do about, didn't know if it was going to get worse... we should have gone to an "urgent care" clinic, which was our mistake.
