Good resource! Lots of tips for command line stuff using Terminal, answers to questions, app recommendations, etc.
Good points about the impermanence of the web. Don't ever completely trust "the cloud"!
Too distracted to finish reading this...
This makes sense, and I do this. I think I'll turn off email and chat, close Facebook... wait... then what will I do on the computer? :)

"...our inability and refusal to contend with the underlying biases of the programs and networks we all use is less a threat to our military or economic superiority than to our experience and autonomy as people."
A kind of weird article - overstates the case by quite a bit, I'd say, but still makes a valid point about learning programming. Also explains why most hackers seem to come from Russia - ha.

How to turn off the frigging annoying horizontal scrolling of the Apple "Magic Mouse" - THANK YOU! (it's a terminal script: defaults write "com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse MouseHorizontalScroll -bool NO" - just change NO to YES if you, for some random reason, want to reactivate this incredibly annoying "feature"!)
Interesting article about the future of computers - good food for thought.
Since Steve Jobs isn't coming back to MacWorld (boo!) here are some past keynote highlights.
The best part is the very very end - hysterical!
This is really interesting. I especially like comment#8
A foolish consistency may be the hobgoblin of little minds, but it makes for better programmers!

Here's the thing though: it's harder to be simple and concise than it is to be complex and verbose. It takes more time and more effort to cut things down and define consistent rules.
