I'm a software developer, UI designer, husband, and father with a mechanical keyboard addiction. I'm also an autodidact and fierce proponent of the Oxford comma. You can check out my nerdy open source projects on Github (https://github.com/argentini).

However you feel about the US military action in #Venezuela the 30 minute capture of #Maduro makes the #Russian military performance in #Ukraine look anemic.

Steve Jobs called Apple’s new head of UI design, Steve Lemay, “Margaret” because *SHOCKER* Jobs was a dick.
“At some point Steve Jobs got really frustrated and said ‘Guess what, you’re Margaret from now on.' From there on, members of the team would always address the designer Steve as Margaret.”
