ollie palmerReally enjoyed @mcmansionhell’s no-holds-barred article about the hypocrisy of architecture firms involved in The Line project. A great argument peppered with top quality zingers.
I was looking through Google's recently released Python style guide and came across what would turn out to be an interesting piece of cargo cult programming.

I'm slowly setting up my new office and still figuring out where everything should go.
I've decided to put my desk in the middle of the room, which has required me to rethink cable management.
Et voila, I just need to give it a layer of varnish now:
