If you're wondering why - I have this hunch that in the last year I've seen more beards in the tech world and I'd like to see if this is true.

coldclimate | 12 years ago | on: Moving from PyroCMS to Jekyll for speed, security and sanity

This was a short run self contained project by our summer intern Dan, but turns out to have had a tonne of benefits.

Did you click the wrong button - yes. Was this your fault - no. So many things wrong here.

I hope he came out ok in the long run, it's a hell of a story.

coldclimate | 16 years ago | on: Silverback: Guerilla usability testing

We use silverback every week, and it's a joy to use.

Painful, but amazing feedback.
