  1. THERE'S NOBODY LEFT!!!! I'M ALL ALONE!!!! youtube.com/watch?v=H-gfxj… (profanity warning…but funny despite it.)
  2. Awesome juxtaposition: yfrog.com/oein4pp
  3. @alesplin Hey, I actually recognize that now. :)
  4. Banning plastic shopping bags is a fabulous idea, and I don't often say that of laws passed in California. latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/05/…
  5. @danielpunkass That's just perfect. Thanks!
  6. @danielpunkass I want to write a blog engine that interfaces with MarsEdit. Can you offer any tips (i.e. which API to support, etc.)?
  7. One-stop shopping: twitter.com/cheleball/stat…
  8. @danielpunkass Oh and happy birthday! Sorry to hit you with a support question today. Hadn't read my tweets yet when I asked it.
  9. @danielpunkass What course would you recommend if I want to write a blogging engine that interfaces with MarsEdit?
  10. THERE IS A HOLE IN THE SUN.
  11. More recents one: twitter.com/cheleball/stat…
  12. Solar eclipse photo, taken with an iPhone through the eyepiece of a telescope with a solar filter. twitter.com/cheleball/stat…
  13. Gotta admit I'm surprised at the graphical update in OoT 3D. It looks like a 3DS game, not the 14-year-old relic it is. It looks fantastic.
  14. @itfeelslikegold hey! Blink blink blink blink blink blink blink blink blink blink blink blink blink blink blink blink blink blink blink...
  15. I'll be honest...this might be a deal breaker.
  16. Since Navi never shuts up, and nobody cares what she has to say, this means the entire game will be played with text blinking in your face.
  17. Now, there's blinking Navi text on the bottom of the screen, and it won't go away until you listen. What were they thinking?
  18. In Ocarina of Time 3D, they've actually made Navi more annoying. I know; I didn't think it was possible either.
  19. Reduce the memory footprint, and maybe the system won't always be low on memory.
  20. Safari 5.1.7 "Improves the browser's responsiveness when the system is low on memory." Great, but solving the wrong problem.
