My dad died yesterday.

He was 65 and had become a hero to me. A few months back, when we almost lost my wife and newborn son, my dad came and stayed with us. He took care of my kids -- kept them fed and feeling loved -- while I was taking care of things in the hospitals.

He dropped everything for a month... to make sure he was there for me and our kids.

When I needed help more than any other time in my life... he was there. And he was amazing.

I love you, dad.

What a Clockwork Gameshell? (You do.)

What it for freeeeee? (Also yes.)

My buds at @Linode are giving one away for free. Plus you all get $20 of Linode credit (for running a virtual server or such) to use. Which is also nifty.

Firefox's new Enhanced Tracking Protection whitelists Google, Instagram... and Winamp?

Seriously. Not a joke. Winamp.

This amused me.

If only there was a Tech podcast / show that had...

- No Swearing (kid and work friendly)
- No personal attacks ("Be Excellent To Each Other")
- No political attacks (no matter who you vote for, we're friends)
- Lots of nerdy-ness (goofy and serious)

Shabbat shalom, my friends!

Feeling like going easy for the Friday night dinner. Thinking pizza. Then maybe a movie with the kids and fall asleep on the couch. Sounds gloriously lazy.

Anyone else have appropriately lazy plans for kicking off this most excellent weekend?

Whenever someone asks me for "supporting data" to back up something I say... it makes me giggle.

Someone over on the tweeters said something that got me thinking...

Before "Google" existed, software was undeniably:

- faster
- more memory efficient
- less DRM-y
- less dependent on services

Maybe we were better at making software before we could "Google" things.

Maybe there's no causation there at all. But, I tell ya, the correlation is bonkers strong.

What is more important: Freedom or Truth?

If you get your podcasts via Apple or Google thingiemadoodles...

I don't judge. The Lunduke Show is there.

Question from the audience: Would now be a good time to make MacOS / iOS fully free and open source?
