A PSA about ACTA
It looks like it was signed back in October, for the record. By the US, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Australia, Japan, and Morocco ( Read more... ) -
Random backup software recommendation: Arq
If you're looking for a Mac backup program, try Arq. In no particular order, bullet points!- It's stored on Amazon's cloud service, so you're paying exactly what you're storing, rather than either paying too much or underpaying and dealing with the risk of the software trying to subtly cripple your using the full offer, which is what I've heard of ( Read more... )

New Years Resolutions
Usually I don't do New Years' resolutions, because they've always struck me as sort of silly. I've changed before and I'll change again, but the new year on its own doesn't motivate me to change in the least. I suppose it's a disadvantage of never really celebrating New Year?
