simple links: The purpose of life →
It turns out life’s purpose is quite simple: it’s love. Deep, profound, moving, unshakeable, upending … but simple.
It doesn’t have to be romantic love: it could be the love of your child, your parent, your sister, your friend. It could be a love for art, your neighbor, philosophy, nature,…

Minimalism versus Lessism | digitizd →
This is an interesting take on minimalism, which for some reason I find hard to agree with. It sounds like now that minimalism is getting popular, people want to be able to say they are minimalist, without having to change any of your habits.

12 republished tweets that I’d already read on Twitter (many with @Twitter #syntax).
9 republished Google Reader items from people I want to be following in Google Reader.
5 republished…
This is why I’m no longer using Google Buzz.

I’m a tool builder. That’s how I think of myself. I want to build really good tools that I know in my gut and my heart will be valuable. And then whatever happens is… you can’t really predict exactly what will happen, but you can feel the direction that we’re going. And that’s about as close as you can get. Then you just stand back and get out of the way, and these things take on a...

Spartan programming →
I wouldnt go all the way Spartan, as I value readability more. But good idea anyway.

a minimal approach to programming
Strive for simultaneous minimization of your code in many dimensions:
Horizontal complexity. The depth of nesting of control structures.
Vertical complexity. The number of lines or length of code.
Token count.
Character count.
Parameters. The number of...

If audio books are the eBook, my iPod shuffle is my eBook reader. And it cost me far less than a Kindle!
