Good people still exist
With our modern world where there is so much hustle and bustle, at times it seems like people don't slow down or take the time to help others. A few weeks ago, a group of people restored my faith in people helping people.

Can't believe everything you read
Two years ago, I wrote about open source saying it wasn't always the answer. I was recently reminded of this when I was searching for a good networking stack for use in an application. While we have a killer (in my opinion) stack that I enjoy using at work in a bunch of our applications, it isn't open source and therefore I can't use it. I looked at a bunch of iOS networking stacks and found some too complex, some no longer supported, and some that were good candidates.

Review: Brenthaven Metrolite XP XF Backpack

Growl and Mountain Lion's Notification Center
One of the neat features of Mac OS X 10.8, Mountain Lion, is the notification center. Having all notifications is cool and when I saw Hiss, a replacement for Growl, I immediately installed it and loved it for a few minutes. However, it has one major flaw and that is it doesn't have an AppleScript dictionary so SuperDuper! gets hung up at the end of copies because it tries to send an AppleEvent to Growl and a have a script that posts notifications of new email from Outlook.
