I found this diamond accidentally (well, not quite; I follow [Jacob Applebaum](http://twitter.com/ioerror)), but I just might end up observing it closely. [Kragen Thinking Out Loud](http://lists.canonical.org/mailman/listinfo/kragen-tol), or a mailing list on which Kragen Sitaker shares his thoughts with the world. Something like a blog, but without the blog, RSS, etc.

Some great starters to get the hang of it:
 - [Goodbye, shitty Car extends Vehicle object-orientation tutorial](http://lists.canonical.org/pipermail/kragen-tol/2011-August/000937.html);
 - [Why I do not want to work at Google](http://lists.canonical.org/pipermail/kragen-tol/2011-August/000938.html);
 - [Peer-to-peer overlay networks are a bad idea on a DSL-based internet](http://lists.canonical.org/pipermail/kragen-tol/2011-August/000935.html).

The last one is especially mind-tickling; it's one of those texts one reads and gets an Instant Epiphany of some Basic Truth (in this case -- that P2P cannot work effectively on an [ADSL](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADSL) Internet connections, due to the dreaded A).

The second text I would like to wholeheartedly recommend to all the Apple and Google fans out there. No, no trolling.

Oh, and I just might add a newsletter functionality here on the brag for all of you that prefer the traditional way of getting their news.
