  1. The Scutaro Deal is Mystifying →

    Which leaves us with two possible explanations. One, that the Red Sox see something in Mortensen that no one else does. Or two, that they assessed the Scutaro market and felt that this was the best they could do.

    I think the Rockies just got the better of them on this one. The jury is definitely still out on the post-Theo era in Boston.

  2. Twitter Tools 3.0 beta 2

    I’ve packaged beta 2 of the next generation version of Twitter Tools. Version 3.0 is a ground-up rewrite on top of the Social platform, with a few features included for backward compatibility. If you’d like to test the beta, grab it from GitHub. This version fixes several bugs that were found in our QA process,…

  3. There are a lot of Polish surnames in Monsters, Inc.

    I kept an eye out for “Sandusky” when watching it this weekend, but no such irony.

  4. Any day of January golf in Colorado is a good day. Today was gorgeous.

  5. Siri’s Reliability →

    Or, better yet, it should store the audio and let me replay it later when Siri is working again.

    I wish it would store it as a voice memo with a reminder attached. I have miserable success with Siri over the bluetooth connection in my car (y’know where/when I need it most). It works reasonably well when I talk directly into it in a quiet environment – mainly for demoing to others.

  6. I just don’t understand why sales people insist on phone calls instead of email. Annoying me constantly is no way to get my business.

  7. Pleased to report @versionsapp has been making itself quite useful as a new tool in my toolset. /cc @dwiskus @dlpasco
