Road weary and introspective
As everyone ran to export and delete their Twitter data in waves when Apartheid Clyde came to town, I sat back and watched with a chuckle from my cozy perch on my Mastodon instance. You see, I’d already done all that months ago, as the site had continued to fester into a sad pile of…
So by now, everyone has heard of the iPhone 3GS. Yippee. Looks snazzy and has upgraded features. Since I’m still on my original spec iPhone (well, 16GB EDGE iPhone to be exact), it’ll most likely be my next phone upgrade. In fact, a lot of people want to upgrade to the 3GS. But there is…
I have to admit that they’ve really regressed in the selection of songs for the On-The-Go playlist. Normal iPods can add any song on the go to a special playlist simply by highlighting the song and holding down on the center button until it flashes. Simple. On an iPhone/iPod Touch, however, to add a song…
There are “reports”:http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/news/comments/099-drm-free-tracks-appear-on-itunes/11667 that $0.99 iTunes Plus (you know, the DRM free variety) tracks have been popping up at the iTunes Store. “John Gruber”:http://daringfireball.net/linked/2007/october#mon-15-plus speculates that it’s either a mistake (doubtful, having looked around, noticed all “Sub Pop releases”:http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=263615298&s=143441 are the same), the introduction of variable single pricing (not entirely impossible… there are still a…
I’ll admit I’m a bit obsessed with good podcasts (and I’ve always loved video tutorials, so therefor screencasts are a godsend). I probably look for new podcasts to subscribe to every week. Not that I listen to them all the time (some I add and listen to once before discarding), and frankly some just annoy…
== It seems that EyeTV 2.4’s QuickTime component for MPEG can lead to a chain of events that makes password authentication for OS X impossible. That can affect login, the Keychain, or anytime that OS X asks for your name and password. You may see a crash involving the LoginWindow or SecurityAgent. – Elgato’s Support…
Then there’s the bonus reason I want to throw the whole thing into my bit-bucket: the way people are using Twitter right now, it’s rapidly becoming the most inefficient and unusable version of IRC ever. Look, people, if you want to chat, then get a chat room. You know? – Eric Meyer Seriously… trying to…
I have to admit I take a secret pleasure in any awkward moment Steve Jobs has during a keynote–like the scripted pause for applause that turns to painful silence after some new feature failed to elicit the expected response from the crowd. It’s like watching Jesus trip or something… –Me, in a discussion about Jobs…
In case you haven’t noticed (I hadn’t): OmniWeb’s price was cut in half That’s right, you can now get the goodness that is OW for only $US 14.95, and only $5 for an upgrade. Very rad and well worth it.
I recently wrote a little love letter to my dear friend, OmniWeb, regarding my inability to (easily) subscribe to RSS and ATOM feeds in an external, standalone feedreader (such as Vienna). Sure, OmniGroup have built in a bookmark-based feedreader (of sorts) into OmniWeb. That’s fine for a casual feed user, but my needs are far…
