Nearly 6 years views of my YouTube HitTail video versus only 9 months view of my Commodore 64 unboxing video: the cross-over is nigh. Interest in Commodore appears to be a constant.
Adi and Daddy walking through Inwood Hill Park. Thanks @jewyorican for capturing the moment!
My current iBooks shelf. Lots of necessary evils in there. A few genuine passions. Funny how some tech feels like one and some like the other.
Come on O’reilly and Stanza, at least update your graphics for iPhone 4 retina display. Got the Drupal book, and so begins my ritual of unpacking the .ipa file and repacking as an ePub for iBook.

@sxsw Stop tweeting so much! You’re usin’ my tweet-resources :p
My Google Author verification just came through on my Tumblr site.
Ever wonder what the keyboard shortcuts are on your system? Well, if you’re using #Ubuntu 12.04, just hold down the “Super” (Windows) key, and you get a summary. I think people can just about stop saying that Linux doesn’t have a mature desktop compared to Windows. It is in many ways, better.
#Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin beta 1 is out… actually since March 1st, I believe, but Update Manager is just prompting me now.
Amazon #EC2 price reductions. I hope a cloud server price war is kicked off. #virtualization #cloud
Just installed and tested HitTail’s new asynchronous tracking code—same as Google Analytic’s method of never slowing down page-loads. Did a vanity search to test. First test failed, because I was logged into Google even after relaunching my browser to clear session cookies. You have to log out of Google AND restart your browser to properly test HitTail code.
Up infinity! Google Author Verification statistics are available under Webmaster Tools / Labs / Author Stats. While the numbers on my personal site are very small, the impact of those little thumbnail author pics in the search results is pretty clear.
Head-up Display ( #HUD ) is actually built into the latest release of Ubuntu 12.04. Just run a program and tap quickly on the Alt key. They must be balancing so many considerations to wedge a major new UI enhancement this way. A quick-tap on Alt invokes HUD while a click-hold on Alt doesn’t, and uses the Alt-key the normal way for key-combinations. Anyway, It warms my heart to see the attack on arbitrary scavenger-hunt-like drop-down menus begin. Go, Mark Shuttleworth! I’m behind you on this. The only weirdness is that if you don’t make a selection quick, HUD sort of cycles through different options. I guess it’s like multiple pages of search results. Anyway, for those that don’t “get it”, this is like Macintosh Spotlight feature, but applied to drop-down menus in the latest Ubuntu Alpha release, called Precise Pangolin.
