If you’ve watched any of Howard Abrams’ excellent videos, you may have wondered, as others have, how he gets the nice effects when he displays Org buffers. Wonder no more. Abrams has posted an explanation of how he gets those … Continue reading
A Reminder from Kontra
Enough is enough, California. My quarterly reminder to citizens of California: you'll be held responsible for Dianne Feinstein. — Kontra (@counternotions) April 9, 2016
