@Pinboard OK, but I *would* read a reimagining of Walden where a self-important design director was the narrator. Like Clueless, kind of.

@jamesvasile Yep. For clarity, I'm the CEO of an open source company. But here free as in speech seems to also = the other free.

@mapkyca CPanel is way too hard to use for most people. I agree about plumbing - we just haven't quite reached that point yet.

Finally saw Charlie Brooker's 2015 Wipe. Worth seeking out if you can - think if Jon Stewart's Daily Show or John Oliver had much more bite.
