Today in A Backender Mucks With Clientside:

Sitting down for a four-hour ferry trip: I know, I'll catch up on the news!
After reading a guy who decided to be less of a jackass to his family after eight years of fatherhood and found the experience so mind-blowing that he had to write about it and the WASHINGTON POST PUBLISHED IT: nevermind where's my Kindle
