That guy is just great. Everything I’ve learned about Mac OS X is because of him. He’s the only one that can write like that.

Glad to see John Siracusa getting the respect he has deserved for many years, and many OS X reviews.
Simply setting the standard for all others to aspire to. Yes, sublime is the appropriate word.
