tjweir··on The Printliminator
Using this and Readability yield great results.

I find that Readability decides on the wrong bit of content sometimes. So use Printliminator's Option-Click to select what you want to keep and then run Readability to format it nicely.

Stealing some of the great ideas of Erlang and re-implementing them in Scala.

tjweir··on AT&T Is Screwing Over US iPhone Users
It's so sad that we can still say "at least it's not as bad as Canada!"

We're becoming an embarrassment, but at least people like Michael Geist are fighting:

There is one in the Downloads section: http://github.com/tjweir/liftbook/downloads

I'll build a more recent one asap.

tjweir··on Ask HN: Emacs users on OS X, what's your setup?

They are skewed to Clojure development, but you may be able to pick out a few tips.

"No, actually, I can't think of any way they're like Google whatsoever. Sorry."

You're right, they aren't like Google. Currently at least. From the quote he wants to become more like Google and foster a better community.

You're being a bit harsh.

tjweir··on Ask HN: Who designed the graphics for your web app, and where did you find them?

tjweir··on Ask HN: How do you stay healthy?
I've been CrossFitting for just over a year. My body fat % dropped from 22% to currently 11-12%.

So for me, it's CrossFit + Zone macro-nutrient balance + Paleo.

tjweir··on Prototip 2 - Create beautiful tooltips with ease
I agree, charging even for non-commercial use is a bit disappointing.
tjweir··on Ask HN: good place to store code online?
I use github for public and SVNrepository for private repos. SVNrepo recently added git, so that's awesome.
