Recover, and perhaps try my hand at not planning and expecting so much :)
codercowboy··on Music To Code By, 2013
Awesome, thanks for sharing.
codercowboy··on Google turned my iPod touch into a free wifi phone
It's still two separate apps on iOS too, though this does appear to be a step toward a unified product that's less of a kludge than voice has been on its own.
codercowboy··on Ask HN: What do you listen to while coding?
thanks for sharing those links, awesome stuff.
codercowboy··on Ask HN: What do you listen to while coding?
quiet, post rock, or noise (think 65 days of static) when it's really time to get something done. pop trash when it's just time to do whatever else:

What a great way of putting it, the tree rings idea. Will look into Derrick Jensen. Thanks for sharing.
codercowboy··on Life and Career Lessons – 2012
from one jason m baker to another, hello :)
codercowboy··on Life and Career Lessons – 2012
Yeah in this case it was totally the former, on good terms, I'd highly recommend working at the place post-fire, and many of my colleagues, including the guy who had to do the fire and didn't necessarily agree with me offered to be a reference. I'd be a reference for him as well, any day.

I'm with you on the personal space per employee thing with communal areas being the right way to go, completely. It just seems the new kool-aid to drink is open space big brother/weird style where it seems to be mostly about minimizing sq foot per employee, which sucks, I agree.

Thanks for your comment, it's nice to hear some intelligent feedback :)

codercowboy··on Hyphenated Names and Job Security
That's awesome, I quoted your comment in the post, hope you won't mind.
codercowboy··on The worst salesman ever.
Not a bad idea. My personal M.O. is to just skip the services bit.
codercowboy··on Ask HN: Experienced programmer, beginner to iOS (objective-C). Where to begin?
I was more or less the same as you, Java instead of C#. Built some of the apps on http://www.codercowboy.com in a few weeks with help from this book, very highly recommended:

The iOS 5 Developer's Cookbook by Erica Sadun

http://www.amazon.com/The-iOS-Developers-Cookbook-Programmer...

A few (three or four) zero-to-go chapters in about 50 pages, then entire chapters dedicated on various chunks of the IOS objective-c library. Perfect.
