"If today’s church does not recapture the sacrificial spirit of the early church, it will lose its authenticity, forfeit the loyalty of millions, and be dismissed as an irrelevant social club with no meaning for the twentieth century."

- Backblaze mirrors all of my data - it’s about $95 for two years and it automatically backs up all of your data apart from your operating system and applications.
- Dropbox saves all of my current work. I’ve symlinked just the data I’m currently working on: current dev work, assets, documents, etc.

CSS3 Gradients
Something neat I learned from the Twitter Bootstrap framework.
What’s neat about it is that it’s actually a generated background image that fits the element container. That means you can manipulate it for :hover and :active states by shifting the background position up.
Of course, this gets nowhere near the level of detail like in Jaco Joubert’s CSS3 buttons tutorial, but I think it’s still really neat how the browser programmers handled this.
Monocle 24
Monocle just launched a internet radio service at monocle.com/monocle24.
Since I don’t want to leave Chrome open just to listen in, I run a Fluid instance of the page.
- Download Fluid at http://fluidapp.com/
- Run Fluid and use monocle.com/monocle24 as the URL and this icon as the app icon (yes, I did comb the site and found the largest possible logo, then made a circle for it)
- Tune in by running the newly created Monocle app!
Note: you can actually use Fluid for a lot of sites you use as applications, e.g., http://teuxdeux.com/, https://app.getflow.com/, http://facebook.com, http://tumblr.com.
