I started using #Firefox as my daily browser, and it's very good! I released a quick theme for it called Dapper. If you're looking for a clean, low-contrast and not very exciting theme for Firefox, give it a try! https://t.co/9uiACSYMxQ

Every designer that uses grey for text is:

a) under 35 with good vision, and/or
b) doesn't care if people their parents age can actually read what's in their designs, or
c) doesn't believe anyone reads anything anywhere anyway.

Here's the funny thing about Linux. I definitely run into more hiccups than I do with any other OS. But the solution is almost always easy to find, and the fix often teaches me something new and valuable about what makes computers work.

Failure is central to engineering. Every single calculation that an engineer makes is a failure calculation. Successful engineering is all about understanding how things break or fail.
