  • IFTTT Twitter Trigger Removal is good for App.net

    by

    So one of the bigger storied lately is the removal of IFTTT triggers that allow you to send tweets to other places automatically. Yes this sucks for archiving purposes (which I think is stupid anyway) but I think it’s good for alternative services like App.net. See all the people I found using triggers to send…

    by

    I was one of the lucky first kids in my area to have a Nintendo. We had a hoping house that summer as all the neighbour kids were suddenly my friends and would come by just to see what I was doing. I was in my 9 year old glory. One disturbing trend, was for…

    Nice little post on dealing with wrist fatigue. I to have a Kinesis Freestyle Solo keyboard, and it’s awesome. I wrote a review about it even.

    by

    Back in the beginning of August I wrote a bit about Microsoft doing the right thing by having do not track on by default. Well recently an advertiser spoke up about it again saying that the industry would ignore IE and do not track. “The industry will not honor that flag,” he says. “I’m not…
