Jamie Zachary is so juvenile.

[Aside] TextMate Still Rocks

2008-12-31T09:17:19Z

This is why I still use TextMate [QuickTime movie link], even after some great alternatives have been made available. No other IDE or one-window-wonder has been able to offer that kind of dynamic text editing capability.

[Aside] Apple Without Jobs

2008-12-28T03:19:19Z

Analyst says Jobs’ views are now endemic to Apple. I agree with the analyst — to a degree. People are people, though, and business is business. I worry about how long Apple would be able to remain on [Jobs’] course without him.
