beebs93··on Why I loved building Basecamp for iPhone in RubyMotion
Nice article - easy-to-understand analysis of the benefits of RubyMotion.

I went the JS route with Titatium Appcelerator for our iPad app, but I've followed RubyMotion since it appeared and always wanted to give it a try.

beebs93··on Salt + shotgun = Bugasalt
Thought it was an interesting way to combat flies without flimsy fly-swatters or lick-me-when-you-are-drunk electric swatters.
beebs93··on How to Hire a Hacker
Or...

...give the potential developer a box of Lego. If s/he does a Quagmire-esque "giggidy!", hire them.

beebs93··on JavaScript is the new Perl
They are not "already" going to produce better code. I have nothing against Ruby, but its devs are not endowed with better programming practices.

I do agree with you that it acts as a filter of sorts, but only for now. Anything that is not mainstream tends to act this way.

beebs93··on Disney to Acquire Lucasfilm Ltd.
Wow, flannel George..really? I hope he's wearing flip-flops, too ;)
beebs93··on How We Got into Y Combinator
Congrats on the win, but:

"...we basically don’t have an accent..."

You do. It's called "American". :P

beebs93··on Fuck 'em
Boiled down it's just saying "Don't be a sheep" (Perfect Circle's "Counting Bodies Like Sheep" music video popped in my head).

I've read a lot of the posts on that site and it always amazes me how people's knee jerk reaction is "you don't know me - don't tell me how to live".

Geezuz Jump-roping Christ - panties have never been bunched up so quickly by so many by so few words.

beebs93··on Not Like Steve
Ha, I never thought of it that way. Makes you wonder if Einstein was a prick dad ;)
beebs93··on Forget self improvement
Heh, is that like "Those that cannot do, teach"?
beebs93··on Dear Y Combinator, we bet you we can solve a problem of yours in 72 hours.
Heh, not for Levar Burto....whoa, did Levar Burton write this?
