Really Great Interview: Tim Ferriss and Kara Swisher
This is a great and wide-ranging interview. These are two complex and fascinating people. I have been on the fence for a long time about my feelings on her style, but this is the first time I have really felt like I understand her. I think I will follow her more closely from now on…

Building a Debian Application Server with PHP 7 + MySQL 5.7 + MS SQL
One of the applications I am building integrates with a legacy software platform including MS SQL Server. In past versions of PHP, there was a simple and free tool called FreeTDS which enabled PHP to connect to MS SQL Server, but this has been deprecated as of PHP 7. In order to get all the new…

Zero to One by Peter Thiel
After the Gawker case, earlier this year, I decided to start following Thiel’s career.

Expanse 6 – Babylon’s Ashes
I read this book in just a few days. As soon as it came out, it was impossible to put down. This book could almost be the second-half of the book before it. The story begins with a mess and ends with another, but ends in a place where you can see the silver lining…
