PhilipMallory··on How I built my blog in one day
Vagrant's online documentation is done with Jekyll, the idea being that it's very easy for contributors to edit content and view their changes.

PhilipMallory··on How a registrar managed to annoy me more than GoDaddy
For future reference, giving someone permission to withdraw money from your bank is usually a terrible idea. With a credit card you have the ability to charge back errant/unrequested charges (credit card companies are perfectly helpful with this).
PhilipMallory··on Why Don't Americans Riot Anymore?
Nationwide riots ala Rodney King aren't exactly common, but that doesn't mean riots don't happen. Sports riots (LA NBA Championship, Vancouver Stanley Cup) are almost a perennial event, and then there's the riots that happen at every globalization summit ever.

PhilipMallory··on I made a web based basketball play drawer. Looking for feedback.
The eraser tool could have a translucent cursor so that you know how wide the eraser is.

PhilipMallory··on Do multiple monitors actually increase efficiency?
Multiple monitors don't even have be a major productivity booster to be worthwhile. If an employee's annual cost (salary, benefits, other expenses) is $100,000, an extra monitor is a measly 0.15% more. If that one time expense makes the employee 0.15% more productive the monitor pays for itself multiple times over its lifetime.
