Rise up. It’s time to become a man

Posted by Joshua Kagi on Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

One morning several weeks ago I woke up.
This isn’t astounding or anything since I’ve woken up every morning for 8,786 consecutive days now. However, something life changing happened. It wasn’t a revelation, or an ah-ha moment. I can’t point to the exact second it occurred, but I woke up that morning and I knew something: [...]

Reflections on cynicism & hope

Posted by Joshua Kagi on Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

DevilishDuck.com has a tagline. You may have noticed it before, or maybe you just don’t notice those types of things.

Something has been on my mind today: Blogging.

Macworld ‘08 Wishlist

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

The Fourth of July and Christmas may be my favorite holidays, but next Tuesday marks my favorite day of the year. No, it’s not my birthday, but it might as well be — it’s the Steve Jobs keynote address at Macworld in San Francisco. To anyone who’s not an Apple fanboy, there is just no way for you to possibly understand the magnitude of this event to the Mac Cult. Steve Jobs, the hero, savior, deity, CEO of Apple, will get up on stage and execute a flawless presentation where he show us, his followers, the next and greatest things in form and function for electronics.
