The title of this post is a paraphrase of the famous Marshal McLuhan's 'The medium is the message', meant to imply that the medium that carries the message also embeds itself into the message, creating a symbiotic relationship with it.

Last week I hoped to blog-shame Guillermo Rauch into releasing Socket.io v1.0 for my own convenience. Alas, it didn't work (gotta work on my SEO), but I see a lot of traffic from @rauchg on the corresponding GitHub project, so my spirits are high.

I am a long standing fan of Garrison Keillor and his Prairie Home Companion. I fondly remember a Saturday in which he delivered his widely popular News From Lake Wobegon, and that contained the following conundrum: "Is ambivalence a bad thing? Well, yes and no". It also accurately explains my feeling towards Node.js and the exploding... Continue Reading →
