– The Omni Mouth » iPad or Bust!
This is great. I love OmniFocus and I know their software is a big reason project managers have purchased Macs in the past.
The iPad will be successful or forgotten based solely on how developers decide to use it. I am convinced that Apple can do little to...

– This, for me, misses the point completely. The relationship money has with the likelyhood of an election win should tell you the exact opposite of this statement is our current reality.

Clean Up
My Tumblr dashboard is getting a little clogged. Not simply from new and existing features or the relentless postings of people I don’t actually pay attention to or my own repetitive musings or reposted Twitter updates, but a combination of those things.
So I am cleaning it up. If I stop following you, I am sorry. It’s you, not me.
1/21/01 = New album? What’s an MP3? I’ll download that.
1/21/10 = New Massive Attack? iTunes LP? Pre-Order complete.
We’ve come a long way.

A print media revolution is starting to pick up speed. The pieces are starting to fall into place.

This is from a media consumption survey.
Of course the over 50 crowd uses the internet for greater lengths of time. It takes them longer to use it. What would really be interesting is a study that shows how many pages of data the younger crowd...

I will say that I am a fan of large beers, however. I rarely let them get warm (regardless of fluid oz total) unless I prefer them that way.
Cocktails are a different story though. I have never enjoyed a huge martini and I find that they lend themselves to...

I was under the impression that Fox News was an English language news channel.
Is she going to wear one of those devices like Amy from Congo so we can understand the grunting and spitting?

This article is enraging for all the right reasons. I’d love to rant along with the author, but I think he does a great job all on his own.
When did we make the choice to start ignoring things that didn’t entertain us?
