I keep not finding time to post about my trip with █████ to the SXSW Interactive conference last month, but it was a swell time and I should probably jot down a few memories before a) they become totally instead of just mostly irrelevant, and b) they fall completely out of
I love Google for its geeky in-jokes. If you haven't noticed this one before, search for "recursion" and see what the result page offers as a suggestion under Did you mean. I'm also reminded of Inglourious Basterds, which I saw yesterday morning, in which
