Dear America, I'll complain about your terrible coffee another day, but I cannot let today's tea travesty go. If someone asks you for peppermint tea, for the love of god, please don't ask if they'd like milk in it. That is all, thank you.

Right then, who loves chess? And anarchy?
I made a website. It's called "one million chessboards." It has a million chessboards on it.

moving a piece moves it for everyone, instantly. No turns. You can move between boards.

that's it. Have fun!

Who buys luggage at the airport? "Oh hey, I could use that handy container to hold all my random stuff I've been struggling to hold!"

#FreeJavaScript update: Oracle has informed us they won’t voluntarily withdraw their trademark on "JavaScript". Next: they’ll file their Answer and we’ll start discovery to show how "JavaScript" is widely recognized as a generic term and not controlled by Oracle.

Funerals are strange. Like, it's the first time you really get to learn all the amazing things about someone, except its too late to connect with them on any of it. I wonder what the world would be like if we knew all of our friends and families life story before they died.

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

Courage to change the things I can,

and the wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;

Enjoying one moment at a time;

Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
