I love how the catch can is painted to same color as the body. It makes it almost disappear and seem a part of the bay itself, giving it more tidy look. Taking notes.
I never get tired of Red S15s - looks like a very clean and purposeful build.

OFFROADCODE: How we use feature based development to give better quotes
Ever since we started Offroadcode we’ve taken the stance of never giving fixed price quotes for projects. Some people think this is crazy but allow us to explain why it makes sense for clients and ourselves.
Intuitively, this seems like it would work out as a great strategy for some design/development agencies. It is a more formal approach of my own ideas about agency proposals:
- Inverting structure to budget first, features second
- Working closely up front with the client to define and prioritize their goals
- Allow for a flexible and efficient development process
Two hurdles that could make this difficult to implement:
- Need to educate the client on the advantages of this approach
- Trust in the agency’s willingness to fit in extra features as time allows
However, examples of success on previous projects and from other agencies can help make this a viable strategy.
A Mathematician's Lament
In fact, if I had to design a mechanism for the express purpose of destroying a child’s natural curiosity and love of pattern-making, I couldn’t possibly do as good a job as is currently being done— I simply wouldn’t have the imagination to come up with the kind of senseless, soul- crushing ideas that constitute contemporary mathematics education.
— Paul Lockhart
This essay completely explains my struggles of learning (and lack of enjoyment in) mathematics. It wasn’t until a computer science graphics class in college that I was able to re-discover geometry and see the wonderful side of mathematics.

The Oatmeal, as usual is right on the money. Fuck having to give access to my Facebook data to be able to read articles.
+1000! I don’t even bother to Google, if I see that nonsense I just SKIP and move on.
Understanding the Git Workflow
Summary:
If you’re fighting Git’s defaults, ask why.
Treat public history as immutable, atomic, and easy to follow. Treat private history as disposable and malleable.
The intended workflow is:
- Create a private branch off a public branch.
- Regularly commit your work to this private branch.
- Once your code is perfect, clean up its history.
- Merge the cleaned-up branch back into the public branch.

I like Gumroad. It solves an actual problem, has a revenue model, and has multiple use cases.
The thing I find most interesting about it is that you could sell pretty much anything digital on this platform in nearly no time. This doesn’t just change the actual sales process, it changes the expectations of what you can sell.
For instance, there are a TON of bloggers and writers who, if they were selling a PDF book or presentation, functionally a longform blog post, I would shell out $5. There’s a larger group of people who could charge me $0.99 very easily, for video or images or behind the scenes content.
If Gumroad works, it could conceivably facilitate a fourth model of internet sustainability [after Ad Support, UGC, and Patronage (including Crowdfunding and Branded Support)].
Definitely keeping an eye on this, and don’t be surprised if I start trying to sell thinking in digital formats.

ceteris paribus: Tumblr to ePub
I’ve been looking for ways to generate a real live book from a Tumblr log. The only thing promising I found was www.feedfabrik.com which, while pretty cool, doesn’t have the level of customization I want. It also doesn’t handle lists at all, which is a deal breaker.
So I registered for…
