E-mail Addresses It Would Be Really Annoying to... →

I was thinking about this today, and it’s still so funny.

(via Peter Cohen at The Loop) Bungie Software’s legendary first-person shooter Marathon series has been rebuilt using a new game engine and re-released for free.

Network Link Conditioner →

Jonathan Christopher points out the Network Link Conditioner pref pane, new in Lion: This is a thing of beauty for Web developers the world over; built in network throttling on an OS level. I didn’t know about this, and it looks super-useful. Aside from web development, you can use it to test iOS apps, either in the Simulator, or by connecting your iOS device to the ad-hoc wifi on...

Instacast HD, Your Podcast Dashboard →

The Instacast iPad app came out today, which looks pretty nice (though I don’t have an iPad right now to try it out). But, this struck me as a pretty good description of how I felt when starting to use Instacast (which really is a great app): […] it is one of those apps that at first blush you think: “yeah but I can just do that with the built in iOS tools.” Then you use the app...

How To Properly Tie Cables →

(via 512pixels) Looks like a pretty good technique for small, non-important cables, but seems like the fold-in-half-repeatedly part of it wouldn’t necessarily scale well to longer cables (e.g. a 50ft ethernet cable). For longer cables, I like the over-under coiling technique (linked from the comments on that post), but I do wish there was an easier way to tie off the end (rather than...

vidir →

onethingwell: vidir allows editing of the contents of a directory in a text editor. To get it, you need to install the ‘moreutils’ package using either Homebrew (which I’ve been using these days), or MacPorts.

Settings URLs « Under The Bridge →

So you ever wanted to be able to send the user to a particular Settings page? Neat. I didn’t know you could do that. I wonder if you can link to your own Settings page…

Steve Jobs one-on-one, the '95 interview →

It’s a little cumbersome to watch all the segments, and nothing too groundbreaking, but there are some interesting stories in there. Also, that’s the haircut he wanted to be remembered for in 300 years?

Real Security in Mac OS X Requires Apple-Signed... →

Wil Shipley: So, my solution (and it’s surprisingly simple): Apple should allow each developers to sign her applications with the certificates Apple provides. Lion should ONLY run applications with Apple-provided certificates, and Lion should have a control panel that says, “Here’s a list of applications you (the user) will allow to be run that don’t have trusted certificates from...

Roger Waters: The Wall 2012 North American Tour →

Coincidentally I just listened all the way through The Wall the other day, so this sounds pretty exciting. Also, it looks like the stadium shows (including in SF) are supposed to be even fancier.

Square - Card Case - Tabs. →

This sounded a little silly at first. However, after watching the video it seems pretty clever. (Though, it probably helped that the video was shot 2 blocks from my apartment.) If this works as advertised, and catches on enough so that you don’t feel awkward actually using it, then it definitely feels like a piece of the future.

Matias Duarte on the philosophy of Android, and an... →

Matias Duarte, talking about the design philosophy of Android: Right now, there’s a common trap that can happen when you load up too much power into a piece of software that’s not that intelligent. Like the junior assistant that you hire, who instead of helping you by taking work of your plate, makes more work for you. We wanted that really senior assistant that really knows how to...

“I’m actually a neo-hipster now. It’s basically where you’re a hipster, but since hipsterism has gone so mainstream you dress and act like a regular person, ironically.”
