I’m very pleased today to announce the release of Capsule, the developer’s code journal. Capsule replaces the scratch document you have…
GameTonight now creates a module for Panic’s excellent Status Board iPad app. The URL is simple, add ‘/statusboard’ to any metro…
I’ve just released an initial beta of Threads, a WordPress plugin I’ve been working on for about a year. The idea is simple: show posts…
So I’m watching this and laughing, and then it hits this part: M: An argument isn’t just contradiction. O: Well! it CAN be! M: No it can’t! M: An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition. O: No it isn’t! M: Yes it is! ’tisn’t just contradiction. O: Look, if…
To demand gun control is not to “politicize” this tragedy. It is to respond to it with decency and common sense. — Robert Reich (@RBReich) December 15, 2012 I get that crazy people always find a way to kill. I don’t get why we bend over backwards to make it as efficient as possible for…
I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time — when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public…
Can’t wait for this show.
I think I have a new favorite show.
Ben did a good job – arguing against “incorrect facts” and ignorance (I’ll go with Hanlon’s razor here) is always tough. Especially in such a limited forum.
Pitch-perfect.
The best part about this exchange is I’m honestly not 100% sure which of Dave’s tweets John is replying to (with the Zima response).
A year ago the Clients from Hell website was all the rage with folks in the client services business. I enjoyed reading it. It was cathartic to see other people struggling with their clients as well, and many of them in much more absurd circumstances than the majority of us ever experience. I subscribed to…
I don’t get this commercial. Regardless of service quality/speed/etc., the way it’s presented doesn’t make sense. Wouldn’t it be more effective if the rest of the group (all using AT&T) got the email quickly, then one remaining person got the email later? Isn’t the incentive to avoid being left out? Getting the email first and…
In the email ad I received from Eddie Bauer for their Memorial Day sale this weekend: Print this email or show on your mobile device upon checkout. Emphasis mine. I think this is pretty darn cool.
There are few things that annoy me as much as the following scenario: Someone sends a message to me via a feedback form. I compose and send a reply. My message (the reply) bounces back because they mis-typed their email address. Sometimes I can look at the address and figure out what the issue was…
This surprised me. Of course, by the time I checked the link GitHub had already removed the account.
I’m not a big user of location-based social networks, but I’ve used Brightkite a bit in the past and I used both Gowalla and Foursquare a bit at SxSWi this past year. I’m now dormant on all of these, but I get daily friend requests on them from people I don’t know. I believe this…
I received this email last week (posted with permission): Hey Alex! I am writing from MyLikes, an ex-Google social media/twitter advertising company that connects influencers on the web to advertisers. I wanted to send you an invite to be a premium influencer on MyLikes! Power twitter users such as yourself, can make money on Twitter…
