My friend David Jacobs is incredibly smart and even more opinionated. But the thing is: he’s one of those guys who’s has a strong viewpoint on everything, but also wants to seem nice. Which, when we’re talking about me, is...

After watching all the Star Wars last month (no blog posts! I enjoy my IRL friendships), I gravitate towards Harrison Ford pics much more than before. Plus, Tracie rolled her eyes and nearly fainted with offense every time I mentioned...

Occasionally I will be writing this year about progress on Simpleform’s [transparent books](http://notes.torrez.org/2011/12/the-object-of-the-game.html).

A planet -- a terrifying, dazzling planet that, true...

About two years ago I was using IRC almost every day to communicate at work and with friends. For the 2009 Django Dash, I helped design and build a web-based IRC client called Leafy Chat with Alex Gaynor and Chris Wanstrath. Soon after building the IRC-based Leafy Chat, it started to bother me that IRC was so complicated and nerdy. Even with the Leafy Chat web client, I kept mulling over how much...

On the last possible day to write about my 2011 New Year's resolution, here it is: Live in the cloud. The term "cloud" has most often been used in the context of enterprise computing, but there are lots of cloud services for your personal life as well. In 2011 I attempted to get rid of as many physical things as I could. I took some risks and purposefully sought out new services I could use to further my cloud lifestyle. Here's a rundown of all the cloud services I used to replace all the "stuff" in my life. Media I...
