I started ForkBombr when I left Apple in 2008. At the end of 2009, I posted this, saying I was putting the site on hold:
I decided to simplify in 2010. I’ve stopped checking Google Reader religiously, and am toning it down on Twitter. I’m writing for me for the first time in years, doing some [...]

I started ForkBombr in September 2008. Since then, it’s seen impressive growth, averaging 3,000 page views a month, which still surprises me.
In the last 12 months, it’s been read in 105 countries.

The most popular articles have been the ones [...]

If you’re using Internet [...]

As I previously posted, we have found out our son has brain cancer. He just underwent his first round of chemo and we’re back home now. Thank you for the kind emails, and rest assured we will continue to update on our “Josiah Updates” page.
That said, Merri advised me the other night to “give the people what they [...]

Dear Readers,
I wanted to drop a quick line and let you know updating on ForkBombr is coming to a screeching halt for a while. On Friday, May 8, we found out our 6-month old son has a brain tumor. He’s at St. Jude Children’s Hospital. Needless to say, I’m focused on my family alone right [...]

In my recent interviews with Cornfedtech, I discussed the origin of the name “ForkBombr” and neglected to tell the whole story, as I was just reminded of by Kevin Lipe. Here’s the crux of the matter:
