  Def gonna try this

  Seems opposed to the underlying anachronistic charm of the Holga, but hey, for that price how can one go wrong.

  Not sure about this.  I like the idea of the large-form capacitive interface enabling shmancy new use-cases, but I feel like she is a consumer gadget nerd 1st and a musician, like 106th. The bleep-boob sounds like a 15 year-old with Fruity-Loops.
  Something tell me she’s not going to be the next Tiësto . Still, not going to [...]

  Once There Were Few. Soon, Many (and there can only be one)

  (Hey Benji, pulling up your name yields some sweet data)
  If you’re not familiar with Wolframalpha, it’s defintely worth playing with. That said, I’m uncertain about their data objectivity problems.

  More like Maureen DOWDY, am I right? [More Twitter Talk]

  04.22.09 | Permalink | 16 Comments

  Sometime I think the only reason I stay at the forward margins of the adoption curve is to spite neurotic curmudgeons like Dowd. Biz Stone did nothing worse than to create a trivial little message service, and Dowd comes at him like a mean-spirited 9 year-old girl on the playground.
  ME: Did you know you were [...]

  Microsoft confirms grossly shortsighted plans to release crippled Windows 7 SKU for netbooks and developing markets.
  I don’t mean to hate on MSFT again. In fact, I’m mostly just tired of spending energy, positive or negative, on that behemoth. I’m not alone. I’ve seen even among dedicated Mac-folks an optimism, a rooting-for-ness surrounding Windows 7.  My [...]

  You Jerks,

  Slate has run a piece for you:
  Do I Really Have To Join Twitter?
  What to do if you’re just not that into microblogging but don’t want to be left behind.
  Check it out here
  Money quote, and spot on:
  Much of what we do online has obvious analogues in the past: E-mail and IM replace letters and face-to-face chatting. [...]

  Twitter is down

  “Twitter is dead, long live Twitter”
  I’m going to stop cross-posting my Twitter to these pages. I’m also going to try one last time to get you mugs to give the damned thing a shot. If you haven’t yet, you’re probably not going to. And given it’s current hyper-zealous embrace by an institutional media desperate for [...]

  A Wikid Mistake

  03.30.09 | Permalink | 6 Comments

  “When I first saw this, I had to do a double take,” writes Ars Technica’s Emil Protalinski of Microsoft’s announcement that that the company is killing Encarta this year. “I made sure it wasn’t April 1 at least three times before I conceded.”
  –
  I did a double take too, but in the opposite direction. Encarta? Really? [...]

  Thing n-1: Fail not fail

  01.28.09 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  This One Time in 2006 this guy Ze Frank decided to make a thing every single day for year. These “things” were short videos of frenetic pace and hilarity that belie their 24 hour production cycle.
  Like this:

  This Other Time, I vowed to myself that I would post something every day. I didn’t [...]

  Thing 3: This is Things.app

  12.13.08 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  We all have a lotta junk we’d like to accomplish. Task management software is almost invariably crap.
  Either too many buttons or too little more than a simple list.
  Things.app nails it, blending the GTD methodology with the simplicity of pen and paper.
  If you’ve got a mac, grab it while the beta is still [...]
