A thing I wish… like, okay, so the browser vendors can't code audit every browser extension for safety, I get it. But like, *I* could audit for safety. A lot of extensions aren't that big. I wish there was a button for just like, "read the source" that I could click before clicking install! Just let me give-it a once-over. I could look it up on Github but then how do I know they didn't modify the source before uploading to mozilla.org.

Even a "Add to firefox, but initially disabled" would help.

To help celebrate the 20th anniversary of Retro Gamer magazine (a favorite of ours) we mined the depths of Cabel's basement to photograph a (highly unstable) tower of back issues to make a fun back cover.

Happy 20, Retro Gamer!!

A fun part of putting together the 10 Years Ago This Month column is finding stories of serial entrepreneurs setting up their new thing and then going to LinkedIn to see what they're up to, only to discover they've memory holed all their unsuccessful projects so it's like "2004-2009: Did an actual successful thing" followed by a handful of advisory or board of director positions at start-ups other serial entrepreneur founders probably scrubbed from their own pages.

One of the big worries I had with Swift from the very start was how long it would take me to get back to building cross-platform apps and games if I adopted it.

Well, we're here, ten years later. Swift is robust, portable, and with C++ support easily handles Windows, the Windows App Platform, and now game dev through the magnificent work of @Migueldeicaza and SwiftGodot. I can build a game in Xcode and Godot that deploys to Windows, Linux and Android using Swift, and that's pretty f-ing cool

I get to go visit the house my oldest son and his fiancé are buying today. I have to say that it’s an odd realization that my biological purpose for existing is now complete.
