First, some history (and context!) from Laine… I was overweight as a kid. Actually, I was overweight until I was in my mid-twenties, and then again for a while after I had my kids. But as a kid, in the 90s, it was an offense punishable by social ostracization. I was picked on throughout elementary …
I love kilts. I didn’t used to. I saw Braveheart and Made of Honor and thought huh, that seems…uncomfortably breezy. But you know what? Pants are stupid.

We sort of stumbled on to the fact that we have an absolute blast creating and delivering this kind of content together, but we’ve been …
Before we start the actual post, today is the blog’s 1st birthday! <3 (Our first post.) Thanks to anyone who has been reading, or anyone who will read in the future. We blog because we love it, and we appreciate…well, everything related to it. Last month, we spoke at Tech Leader Summit and ArchConf, which are …

At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of …
Foreword by Laine: If you’ll recall our post entitled, Go: a Grumpy Old Developer’s Review, you might remember that sometimes Josh goes on legitimately amazing rants about technology and architecture.
