So you've decided to start a weblog and have a really clever idea for titling it based on a snippet of code you find particularly novel. Rad!
Getting a feel for Emacs on OS X.

Okay, I've read about five of these articles purporting to explain Git’s internal conceptual framework. This was the first that really made things click in any significant way.
Most of these are relevant to POSIX sh(1). This one gets me every time: echo <<EOF :)
I'm apparently the last person on the internet to see this. The rise of internet culture as recorded on Usenet. It’s beautiful, really.

Starting with absolutely no configuration file. This is why I've prefered lighttpd, because I can put together a separate config in about five minutes. httpd’s sprawling default config has always scared the crap out of me.
