My friends Eric and Shawn pay attention to new camera hardware so I don’t have to.

I don’t get this… how is the adapter $10 more than the cable itself? I’ve accumulated a ton of 30-pin cables; I can only assume that this adapter is intended more for devices like docks, etc. rather than for the cables themselves. Hopefully Monoprice will have good options on cables and/or adapters in the near…

This weekend my Nexus 7 went “dark” on me and wouldn’t come back. I assumed the battery had died and plugged it in – no joy. I tried holding down various buttons for 10-15 seconds, etc. – nada. This post has the solution: hold down the power button for 30 seconds. That did the trick.…

I used a webOS phone for about 6 months – it’s a great OS. I’m hopeful it will make a re-appearance on a viable device. If I were Facebook, I’d be considering it. I think it may also be an interesting choice/starting point for Android licensees that are tired of some of the fees and issues around that platform and want to have their “own” OS.

If you’ve had an unpleasant surprise when connecting your retina MacBook Pro to your 30″ display and finding it in “HiDPI” mode, the solution is outlined in the forum thread linked here: hold the Option key while selecting the “Scaled” setting and you’ll see the native 2560 x 1600 resolution listed there.

We’re still in the process of filling the three positions I posted about previously (technical project manager, front-end web developer and full-stack web developer), but we’ve just added another position that I’m really excited about. We are looking for someone to join our team specifically as a UI/UX lead for web applications. We do a…

For the last month or so I’ve been working on a patch to move the “stripslashes” functionality from the WordPress “model” API functions to the “controller” code (where it belongs). This change will mean that you don’t have to call add_magic_quotes() around your data when passing it to wp_insert_post(), wp_insert_user(), etc. As hardly any developers…

Renewed my @pinboard archiving for another year. I haven’t actually needed the archiving feature (yet), but want to support the service.

I definitely like relative dates in some contexts, but Aaron outlines some a useful set of scenarios to keep in mind if you choose to use them.

[…] Given that you’re one of the only ones who can hold the whole business in your head, you need time to THINK. You need time to be able to consider where your business is heading. You need time to read. You need time to talk to customers. You need time to respond to a new, interesting opportunity that no one else has time for. Slack time has tremendous (and tremendously underappreciated) value. A CEO with slack time and the drive to use that time to continually consider the future of the business is a fantastic combination.
Over the last few years I’ve found residual value in going to conferences is breaking out of the day-to-day and finding time to think critically. Since then, I’ve tried to be more intentional about creating that time. I’m always glad when I do. (thanks John via Chris)
