He is incredibly inspiring when talking about his vision for Bucketworks and the collaborative creativity that he strives to promote here. As people begin to [...]

I started thinking about having the right tools a few months back. It started with a burning desire to spend $1792 for a refurbished Mac Book Pro, so, yes this post is a result and a justification for that purchase.

First, the Twitter folks publicly admit they don’t know what the issues are. Isn’t that something that they should have identified by now? Haven’t these issues happened [...]
