So my brother sent me an email asking me why I chose Mac OS X over the Windows OS (PC)

email from my brother

With my federal loan I can buy a new laptop… I was wondering your opinion as coder and programmer. Why you changed to mac? Is it better? Would you say the same… or is it worthwhile for my Masters where I am going to have emphasis on computer science courses

my Response

it really doesn't matter, today you can pretty much do anything on a windows machine that you typically do on a mac via virtual machines. me choosing a mac was more of a personal preference. I forced myself to try it out (geek thing) and ended up loving it... but I have to admit, going from windows to mac wasn't easy at first because I had to learn a lot (the first week). <<< I transitioned 5 years ago

Lost photos from Germany

These color pictures were taken by a Life photographer between 1939 and 1940 in Berlin and were lost for over 70 years because the American photographer disappeared at the beginning of the war, along with his Roliflex camera.

Debugging your Mongoose Models Using Repl

This is a faster way to test your mongoose models. The example below was based on the expressjs-blog example here

Example

$node
> var mongoose = require('mongoose')
> var db = mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/blogsample')

> db.model('BlogPost', require('./app/models/blogpost'))
