Running JavaScript from the command line

I get quite frustrated running JS by pasting into Chrome/FF and sometimes I like to keep everything local. These are some notes on using Apple's built in intrerpreter, node or phantom.

Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right.

https://example.com/example.ics#1

Adding the anchor tag will force Google Calendar to think of it as a new calendar
