The Everything Bucket Just Never Stuck
by
It’s always interesting to see the development of a person. Back in 2009 Shawn Blanc wrote a review of Yojimbo as a case for an ‘anything bucket’. Shawn’s Yojimbo review was actually my first encounter with his writing, and it was good enough I gave Yojimbo a shot. I had tried Evernote many times but…
It’s not All About the Quest for Pageviews
by
I wrote yesterday about sensationalist reporting at The Verge regarding the iPhone 5 mockup hands on. We all know they’re doing it for pageviews, the real unfortunate part is that advertisers are paying for pageviews. When ever a client talks about pageviews while we are discussing the goals for a new site design I always…
Asinine Browser Requirements
by
My buddy Roger just posted about stupid browser requirements. If you’re not going to read it here the short story is that an employee portal was launched in the last 6 months that only works with IE8 and lower. So he called tech support for the company that he works with.. And after they remote…
Sensationalist Reporting by The Verge – again
by
This type of crap is exactly why I never read The Verge. The only way I get to their articles is by coming across them in Flipboard. They have a hands on with a IPhone mockup. I admit I never watched the video, I was too busy sighing and rolling my eyes at the stupidity…
Starting the Day Productive
by
It’s no secret that to really be productive you need to start your day the right way. Tumblr founder David Karp will “try hard” not to check his email until 9:30 or 10 a.m., according to an Inc. profile of him. “Reading e-mails at home never feels good or productive,” Karp said. “If something urgently…
2 More Examples of Dad’s on the Outside
by
A few weekends back my wife was travelling and I was the only parent for 5 days. A few disappointing things happened/occurred to me. People said ‘How will Daddy Survive’ Possibly the most annoying thing I heard from others was the question “How are you going to survive without Mommy around to watch her.” My…
My Legs should be Charged with Murder
by
Well it seems my ongoing saga with wheel breakage continues. Wednesday August 22 2012 I managed to destroy a 3 month old Mavic Akaiim rear wheel accelerating off a stop sign turning a corner. To add to the mayhem, I was in my largest cassette cog and the wheel got so warped that after 2…
App.net is Only Viable in a post Twitter World
by
While writing about Twitter recently I was easily led in to wondering about the possible success of App.net. At one point there were Twitter clones all over the place. I was a member of the now defunct Blellow. I was even active enough that I got a free t-shirt out if it. All of the…
DHH: Speaking Again and Making Way to Many Assumptions
by
So DHH dropped another smug blog post on us, this time about business formality. Formality is like a virus that infects the productive tissue of an organization. The symptoms are stiffness, stuffiness, and inflexibility – its origin never with those who do but with those that don’t. DHH is making 2 mistaken assumptions and totally…
Cloaking Rudeness as Telling the Truth
by
Lately I’ve noticed a disturbing trend on Twitter, people are downright rude to each other. Now I know the internet is not the shining example of human decency, but I’ve been watching people pass off being rude as ‘just telling the truth’. As if some flippant statement about being a truth teller can absolve them…
