Kernel Panics: Docker + FileVault = Trouble

David Eldridge

DavidEldridge.org is another place where I post information on the web. So, just in case you can’t get enough of my drivel through other sites (like Google+, Bēhance, Twitter, etc.), here’s some more. You’re welcome.

I am a Web generalist: with understanding on things as varied as accessibility, user experience (UX), HTML, JavaScript (as well as jQuery), CSS (as well as Less and Sass), browsers, SEO, and much more.

I live in Topeka, Kansas, U.S.A., where I work to make useful and attractive interfaces for web applications. I really enjoy making computers easier for people to use, whether by showing them how to use them better, or making more intuitive interfaces. Computers are the source of too much friction in the lives of people that use them every day.
