  1. Great article on Apple's skeuomorphic, faux-real UI design and why we need to move past it: fastcodesign.com/1669879/can-we…
  2. @growse :( Sad times. What's odd is that ImageBot is alive and running your scheduled jobs but not my API ones.
  3. @growse 'status: pending' for 30 minutes, boooooo :(
  4. Using jsRender for the first time, a JavaScript template rendering engine. I'm impressed; documentation is a little sparse though.
  5. @cubiq Heh it's chronically overused...
  6. Seriously impressive Siri-style translation app for the iPhone: iTranslate Voice: itranslatevoice.com
  7. Whole other level of lo-fi photography: InstaCRT: engadget.com/2012/05/25/ins…
  8. @growse Tell me more! :) Uploading working? Bad news about pseudo-streaming on custom players unfortunately.
  9. Well, two months after laser eye surgery and I have officially better than 20/20 vision :)
  10. @goldyberg I've applied to their pre-release programme on behalf of our team, heh. It's too damn cool.
  11. @vimeostaff RT @growse: Looks like your apps platform is having issues. Getting a 'vimeUhOh' when I try and create a new app...
  12. Coda 2 and Diet Coda app look… amazing. panic.com/dietcoda/
