Yesterday I came across a great post by Leo Babauta of Zen Habits on ten ways to find time for your family -- no matter how busy you are.
Even though I don't have a wife or kids yet, almost all of Leo's tips are equally applicable to me. ...
I'm in love.
No, not a girl. It's Beanstalk: hosted Subversion. This is so cool.
For the non-geeky among you, Subversion is one of the more popular version control systems out there. And what's version control? I'll let A Visual Guide to Version Control answer that ...
Tagging has two meanings in the blogosphere: the tags that categorize a post (whether internal or for some site like Technorati), and tag-you're-it questionnaire thingies. I have to admit that most of the time I try not to see who got tagged on posts like the latter, ...
