0 Comments Published 2 years, 3 months ago in macintosh, small businessI just became a Daring Fireball member. I did so because I hadn’t done it before, though I wanted to… just didn’t feel like John was putting out a product that was worth it as a part time job.
Now that he’s doing it full-time, I’m super excited about reading his full-time posts… and I [...]
