GistBox - Organize Code Snippets
When people talk about using Capsule for code snippets I think that's fine, but that's not what it's designed for. GistBox is beautiful (appears to be free - no idea how they plan to support it) and <i>finally</i> provides the ability to tag Gists. This is great for code snippets, lousy as a developer journal. That's the difference between Capsule and Gistbox - both look to be great tools for different jobs.

weaning yourself off jquery
I'm a tremendous fan of jQuery, but there are situations where you just need to insert a little JavaScript into a webpage/app and adding an additional library is overkill. This is a great reference map of jQuery methods to native JS methods.

Why feed reading is an open web problem, and what browsers could do about it
I'm onboard conceptually - I am firmly in the decentralized camp, and can see that the browser may be the only opportunity to have broad enough disribution to compete with popular closed networks. However, every foray I've seen into this space by the browser has been uninspired to say the least. FWIW, I met with Mozilla after leaving FeedLounge and talked about making a feed reader that could integrate tightly with Firefox. I sometimes regret not taking on that challenge.

Franklin Gutierrez Is Baseball
Yeah, the Astros look dreadful. But in truth, the Astros are amazing, and the talent differences between the Astros and the, I don’t know, Reds, individually, are barely there. The players on the Astros are among the very best baseball players in the entire world, and if you watched them just practicing in your neighborhood or something, you’d be blown away.
