MFK Fisher on how not to cook
I can suggest a good recipe … to take little time, be very indigestible, and imply frustration, outrage, and great boredom by its general air of hardness and tough, careless preparation:
4 eggs cooking oil or fat 4 tablespoons water salt, pepper
Beat eggs angrily until they froth. Add the water. Season without thought. Heat oil quickly to the smoking point in thin...
Tim Bray is the William Burroughs of code
The other day I posted a quote from Tim Bray about coding. Michelle commented, “Is this the William Burroughs of code?” and totally blew my mind. Re-reading the quote in a Burroughs frame of mind transforms it from a rather overwrough bit of bloggery to a rather beautiful if abstract stream of psychedelia.

Hello source code curious person from the Interwebs! What you’re doing is (in my opinion) the BEST way to learn and advance, that is, viewing the source. It’s how I learnt, and how I’m still learning. So go ahead, dig away and ask any questions. Techniques used on this site are all in the public domain, but the unique...
