  1. @racquelmorris great pic! I only rarely need more than 1:1, but I'm interested in getting that lens someday to get more magnification.
  2. Here's how I fixed a soggy iPhone: http://bit.ly/rJPyq
  3. @MZHemingway UNLIKE TWITTER THE TELEGRAM COUNTS WORDS NOT BYTES STOP BUT USERS OF BOTH OFTEN OMIT ARTICLES AND SUBJECT PRONOUNS STOP
  4. @lazytweet @tnicholson OmniGraffle is "like Visio," if by "like" you mean "absurdly better than."
  5. Consumer product WTF: a package of socks that touts its "resealable" nature. Uh, so they won't dry out? http://yfrog.com/3wxbrj
  6. @spraak dude, finally. Didn't I tell you to get Tweetie six months ago?
  7. I just resuscitated A's soggy iPhone, which had spent a day sitting atop of the car. I probably deserve the Nobel Prize in husbanding.
  8. Lesser-known operas, part 1 (Il deficiente della metà-adriatico): http://bit.ly/NRZOA
  9. @danielpunkass You've just proposed a *different* virus. BSD and Apache licenses allow linking with closed-source *or* GPL. Why not those?
  10. Mariah Carey might be the Maria Callas of the "florid melismatic screeching" style of vocal delivery.
  11. @TheMathman I'm interested in teaching (my) kids about math, and found your web site via @freemanhunt
  12. Here's a summary of the climate-treaty negotiations with India and China: "Let's have a groin-kicking contest; you go first."
  13. I sort of wish the @github search box defaulted to searching "Code" rather than "Committer"
  14. @frasersdevdiary If you support blog posting thru darkslide, please support choosing which size photo to post (if flickr allows that).
  15. Digital photography in 2012: http://bit.ly/MiNV2
  16. On light bulbs and engineering tradeoffs: http://bit.ly/8GzGl
  17. @danbenjamin not particularly, as far as I can tell, but that's probably a function of how birdfeeder counts users.
  18. @freemanhunt here in Madison, WI, they once proposed a $60M light rail that would exactly shadow existing bus lines. It's a disease.
  19. @rentzsch there are a lot of crippling flaws with STL and C++ templates; OTOH, the STL is amazing & about as good as it gets outside Haskell
  20. @rentzsch this question is probably the biggest conflict between my inner programmer and my inner computer scientist.
