  1. As if PBR didn't have enough hipster cred, it turns out Frederic Goudy did lettering for its old label: gapersblock.com/merge/archives… /via @coudal
  2. @donmelton I remember being surprised by that choice. Looks like it proved to be a good decision, seeing as WebKit now rules the world.
  3. If you're into fitness/metrics/quantified self type apps, check out Xtrail by @sophiestication: itunes.apple.com/app/id38280758… Big fan of her work!
  4. @mattbuchanan Nice! I went to Manresa for my 29th birthday and it was awesome. That was before the cocktails though.
  5. @danielpunkass Yeah, I don't mean you. I mean...industry pundits.
  6. @marcprecipice @danielpunkass People divinevtoo much strategy. They were developing Camera already, Zuck impulse bought Instagram. Boom.
  7. @alexpalex @gruber @mrgan Maybe. Or maybe it's just lousy design. Touch doesn't magically render discoverability unimportant.
  8. @gruber @mrgan Same thing happened to me with Twitter's "tap timeline gap to load tweets." Had no clue about that until someone showed me.
  9. @marcprecipice That's *exactly* what I was thinking.
  10. @TristanWilley I proposed to @meowrey there!
  11. @puls I was actually in that area on Saturday night for the first time in a long time and couldn't believe how annoying I now find it.
  12. @mrgan To be fair, you can also tap the day rows to get it. But I didn't even realize that until someone showed me like a month ago.
  13. @pbowden @schwa "He has a big spleen." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spleen#Et…
  14. @jeffsoto I've tried it in the Flatiron. It was decent, but I'm not sure I'd say it was standing in the rain worthy.
  15. @_righty @marcoarment A rye Old Fashioned.
  16. @ZackSultan How about these off the top of my head: barbook.tumblr.com/post/133495768… barbook.tumblr.com/post/151337120…
  17. @RickWebb I wish! I failed to procure tickets, as usually.
  18. @cm @kitchensurfing See if they can whip something up with bourbon!
  19. @cocoalabs @pbowden @commanda @thekarladam You've been to Mayahuel, right?
  20. @rsa Please make it leather.
