jgoney··on Fuck the Super Game Boy (2010)
You'd have to read the whole series, it makes perfect sense at the end.
jgoney··on The Minecraft Creator Markus Persson Faces Life After Fame
"Last year, Persson earned over a hundred million dollars from the game and its merchandise."

If you made that kind of money, why would you even bother to do anything but just retire and enjoy life?

jgoney··on This Man Thinks He Never Has to Eat Again
Does he get enough fiber? I had always understood that the lower digestive system requires adequate fiber to function correctly.

And less relevant, I had to chuckle at the "if I had any money or a girlfriend" part. He's not doing anything to break any stereotypes, there.

jgoney··on The Infuriating Truth About Getting Hired
Looking forward to his follow up "You are useless. You should consider suicide."
jgoney··on Why a one-room West Virginia library runs a $20,000 Cisco router
Before I read the article, I was hoping for a feel-good piece about how someone hacked together a massive WiFi system using such a router to supply Internet to some isolated community in rural West Virginia. It didn't turn out to be exactly that.
jgoney··on Photoshop 1.0 Source Code
What really blows me away is how comparatively little the interface has changed over the years...not to sound dense, but it looks exactly like you'd expect Photoshop to look.
jgoney··on THQ Dissolved
Exactly this! They can essentially start the story for Homefront 2 right where the first one stopped, and with Crytek's track record, it should look amazing as well.

That is, if it's not already deep in development, which I think I remember hearing that it is.

jgoney··on Tcl the misunderstood (2006)
From this, it looks like Redis inherited some of Tcl's syntax. I never would have put that together before reading this.
jgoney··on THQ Humble Bundle ends at $5,097,373 (THQ President contributes $10K)
I would agree with this. I felt that the game was well done, engaging, and fun....but unfortunately it just stops right when the story starts to really heat up. The ending definitely had an unfinished feel for me.
jgoney··on Lumia 920 low-light shootout with iPhone 5, HTC One X and Galaxy S III
The point is to showcase the technical superiority of the camera. Even the worst camera hardware can generally produce good results with adequate light.
jgoney··on The White House just open sourced their first Github repo
I'm a little disappointed; I wouldn't have thought this community to be so cynical and partisan. Can't we all just get along?
jgoney··on Cheddar for Mac Public Beta
Cheddar Mac; I wish I had a bowl right about now.
jgoney··on The First Time I Used Programming At Work
I liked this post a lot. I notice that most everyone mentions the time saved by automating tedious tasks, but not how such automation eliminates user-error. For me, that's at least as important for maintaining peace of mind.
