    Thought the stuff on cloud was interesting. I do a lot of text mining work and have been considering trying out hadoop on the cloud at some point. Might work really well

    Really like the CodeSchool and Cloud9!

    Also good show. And good rant on app pirates. I can look the other way when it’s a blockbuster movie or huge band that makes millions … but ripping off an independent dev is a shame.

    I take serious offense to the statement that “unicorns do not exist.” Unicorns do exist. And they are beautiful. Especially when God cares for them directly.

    I love how one of your links is a Gist. If it’s in code and on Github it must be true.
