Tumblr Gear and "Pin This Post"
rsmallbone:
tj:
<MEGA-snip> … and one that can be extremely frustrating like Tumblr Gear, which does something no desktop app can do, but makes me wince every time I have to exit the app because I know I’m going to lose my spot.
In Tumblr Gear, you can Pin a post to return to later. I don’t have my iPhone in front of me, but I think it’s Menu > Pin this Post, and when you want to...

On Multitasking
poeks wrote an excellent post about the limited-multi-tasking on the iPad (*). Hit the link to read the whole thing, but her discussion about what developers can do to work within this limitation included this:
State (hat tip, Neven). This, I’d say, is the single most crucial point. By remembering where you last were in a given app, developers could easily make it appear almost exactly like...

I made it to the last day, and made sure the coast was clear.

On cynicism…
We were having a discussion about cynicism in class, and how destructive and anti-productive it is.
Someone mentioned Conan’s farewell speech which included this widely-quoted section:
To all the people watching, I can never thank you enough for your kindness to me and I’ll think about it for the rest of my life. All I ask of you is one thing: please don’t be cynical. I...

One of the nicest things about Tumblr...
… is that when you visit someone’s Tumblr page, you have no idea if the follow you or how many followers they have.
So you can just look at what they post and see if it interests you.
I’d love to see Twitter do that, although there would be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
bananacasts asked: Do you think that if I lick an Apple A4, it would taste like happiness and Smurf Berry Crunch?
Shitty First Drafts
I guess my waitress’ name is Virginity because apparently you only get her once.
This is going to annoy me. There’s a better way to say this, but at the time I was too busy keeping an eye on drunk middle-aged middle-class rednecks and trying to pay my tab and get home.
Had the joke not been used in a James Bond movie and overly laden with unintended sexual innuendo, I would...
gdub asked: Should I leave my Verizon Family Plan with my BB Storm (puke) for AT&T and an iPhone? My destiny lies in your hands. Also, bonus points for using the word "butterscotch" in your reply.
Arizona can party. What? We can to!

We’re having ourselves a little Mexican food/tequila drinking night on Friday in honor of the TJ being in town.
It doesn’t have a special name or a google group or anything, but it will be fun and if you’re anywhere nearby and feel like hanging out, shoot me DM or email. We’d love to have you.
Can I attend?
Only if you let me get you drunk...
…and then we got married
Stevie reminded me that on Sunday when everyone was leaving Hotel Vertigo, someone walked passed me and I heard him say to his lady-friend:
“Must be a wedding.”
It was just like a wedding. Except no ugly dresses. Or tuxedos. And no boring speeches. And no terrible DJ. And no cake.
Ok there was a little cake.
End of June Tweetup
frageelaytwit:
That could actually happen, Kelly. I guess some people want to come for the July one, but Dan and I will be traveling East in mid-July and it’s crazy-hot here in late July/early August, so end of June might work.

I was going to go, but turns out my folks are coming into town for my brother’s thesis show that weekend. And July doesn’t sound too promising either. Any...

Apple really needs some help with coming up with names.
File management? Finder
Mail app? Mail
Web browser? Safari
Command-line? Terminal
PDF reader? Preview
Spreadsheet? Numbers
Presentations? Keynote
Word processor? Pages
Music making? Garage Band
And now…
Processor? A4.
Because nothing else is already named A4.
Really, Apple, are you aware of this thing called...

For Hapsy who put a song in my heart…
And a dance in my step…
And a hand in my pants…
And a finger in my plumage.
She molested me, basically.
But then she apologized.
So that was nice.
