“Self Description” from xkcd
The roll-ver text: ”The contents of any one panel are dependent on the contents of every panel including itself. The graph of panel dependencies is complete and bidirectional, and each node has a loop.”
Neat!
Support for a bunch of new services will be ready next week!
I think they just about got everything don’t you?
If you read NOTHING else today, please please please fucking read this.
I DO realize that it’s over 100 pages long, but it’s the best thing I’ve read in SO long…it honestly inspired me to be better at what I do. Who wants to work for a company like Netflix? Yeah, I thought so.
That Roger is one persuasive guy.
Tumblr just released a new feature where you can open up a public question box for your readers to submit questions to you.
I’ve just set mine up and I’m curious to see how much people will use it.
One thing I’m surprised with is how it’s not integrated as new content for the main page, but lives on a new “/ask” domain.
AppZapper is one of my favourite OS X apps - I love the name, concept and icon. The latest release adds a “Hit List” app browser, and “My Apps”, a place for keeping license information.
Certainly worth taking a look at as a way to take control of your application clutter.
This page of their site displays a wonderful graphic to explain specific areas of the interface (very similar to that used by Things). Every app should have one of these on their website.

This pretty much aligns with what is my personal feeling towards people’s social media behaviour.
It only recently clicked to me that the sort of de-facto complaint that non-users and long-time haters of Twitter have been spewing is exactly the opportunity they are unable to see.
The “I don’t care if your eating a sandwich” attitude was like a virus. Maybe many people had it because they didn’t really understand twitter besides the notion of status updates, maybe they just thought it was stupid and liked Facebook a lot more. What I only did for the first time yesterday was think about that complaint from a Gary V. point of view.
If I was in the business of sandwiches, or had a passion for all the million varieties of sandwiches that existed, then Twitter’s penultimate tweet would be “I’m eating a sandwich”
Not to mention, I would probably be perpetually full and satisfied.
Damn, I just feel stupid for connecting the dots so late for what I think everybody has heard before as a complaint about their friends don’t use Twitter.
Props goes this post by Chris Brogan for this post that let me shell out the examples of tactics a social media sandwich lover could take: If I Were a Realtor.
buttonAnatoly Zenkov’s MousePath application has been updated, renamed and given a website.
I’ve been using both Stainless and Google Chrome on my Mac almost exclusively for well over 6 months now. I thought it would be a good point to stop and review both of them.
