There’s power in your choices. This is a post about Chrome.
It’s likely that by reading this you build part of the Internet. It might be a small corner, but it’s yours and you built it. In the big picture not a lot of people can say that, and as a result your decisions carry weight. I don’t mean to sound weighty but I think it’s […]

Why I left Google
This article is wicked insightful, I really enjoyed reading it. I’ve got a love/hate relationship with Google on more levels than I’d care to outline in detail.

SourceMaps in Chrome
Ray Cromwell – Google+ – I’ve been meaning to do this screencast for weeks, ever…. This is pretty stellar. With all things new in the JavaScript world (e.g. CoffeeScript) the debugging aspect has become a bit abstracted in that we’re not testing the actual code we’ve written. For instance, errors you’re seeing in the browser […]
