I’ve worked on software of all shapes and sizes. One of the world’s largest open source projects. Small, back-office projects that never saw the light of day. All points in between. There really has never been a dull moment, because I love challenges, and as a developer I’m always faced with challenges new and old every day.
Yesterday I gave my small contribution to the SOPA STRIKE movement by blacking out my site using a design I created to reflect the eventual outcome of SOPA. It was a notice from the FTC that the site had been disabled for violations of the SOPA Act, and suggested that if the user desired more information they could file a Freedom of Information Act request, BY MAIL ONLY, at a snail mail address.
Right now as I’m writing this I’m about to board JetBlue Flight 620 to JFK. Like several other people, I’m using the airport’s free WIFI access point to get onto the internet. Free, public WIFI is something that’s become somewhat of an expected luxury in the 10′s. I’m rarely in a place that isn’t near some sort of open WIFI network.
