Who says a Subaru Forester can't tow a 3000 lb trailer? (Everyone from here to Alaska, apparently) But we proved them wrong!
This is a PCB I designed to adapt an 80-pin surface-mount ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller to work with a standard breadboard. It will be used to prototype the ARM-based RC quadrocopter I'm building over the summer.

Firefighters Let House Burn Over Unpaid $75 Fee
Even though I live in the most conservative region in Canada, life here is infinitely better than the best areas in the US.

I'm in the living room, reading, when I hear someone tapping on the window. An old East Indian guy is standing on the lawn and tapping on the window, while the cat watches him.
I open the front door. There's a DHL van parked diagonally across the street at the foot of our lot.
DHL: I have one like that.
Me: A cat? Okay.
DHL: Are you David?
Me: No, but I can sign for him.
DHL: What are you to David?
Me: I'm his husband.
DHL: <looking at me like I've grown a second head> Are you serious?
Me: Yeah.
DHL: Huh.

Former WPF/Silverlight Product Manager Says WPF/Silverlight Is Dead
I was pissed when they deprecated WinForms in favour of WPF for no particularly good reason, and I'm glad I quit them rather than waste time learning WPF. Whatever they replace WPF with isn't going to stick around any longer. Windows programming with .NET is like being trapped on a treadmill - you need to keep running just to stay in the same place.

...the high-dpi screen will ruin you for lesser displays.
The effect is deceptively subtle until you put it next to a standard ~100 dpi screen. Apple's otherwise awesome IPS displays look like crap once you've been exposed to 300+ dpi. Characters a half-millimeter tall are legible on this screen. I had to put it under a 3x magnifier and, squinting, I can just make out the individual pixels.
Resolution-independent graphics just moved up to the top of my desktop OS priority list.
