The first episode of 2013 find Chris and Ed talking about the tragedy of Aaron Swartzs' suicide, both in the context of governmental power and mental illness. We also talk about Ed’s favorite (and only tolerable) Apple-related podcast ending. Finally, Ed rambles about SASS, a superset of CSS3 that makes writing CSS less painful.

We have a new sponsor! EasyBib is looking for junior and senior PHP devs to work on their awesome academic web app. Check out the job description and email stuff to till+php@imagineeasy.com.

As always, thank you to our awesome sponsors at Engine Yard and Wonder Network for providing cashmoney and bandwidth for our live stream, respectively.
