Daring Fireball: I'll Tell You What's Fair →

superamit: parislemon: Now that DF has achieved a modicum of popularity, however, what I tend to get instead aren’t queries or complaints about the lack of comments, but rather demands that I add them — demands from entitled people who see that I’ve built something very nice that draws much attention, and who believe they have a right to share in it. They don’t. I love this. My view on...

Finally! A way to test-drive my Objective-C...

I’ve had an on-again off-again relationship with Objective-C and Cocoa. I wrote a artsy visualization in it that ended up in some museums, a rather crappy utility to transfer email between IMAP servers, and some other stuff. But I always became really frustrated with how hard it was to test drive any of this code. Granted, test-driving graphics and UI code can be hard, but I really love...

collectedthinkery: Quarter stories →

The imagination of Phil and Hillary never ceases to amaze me. Phil’s latest blog enterprise, Quarter Stories, is a great example of the madness that goes through their heads. Phil is paying Mechanical Turk users 25 cents each to create a short story based on any of the… Here! Here! I second Rob’s amazement with Phillary. Can’t wait until they have their own clothing line...

The Best Superpower Ever

If I could have any superpower, I think it’d be to know what everyone wanted. Most people don’t seem to have any idea what they want, and it’d be pretty awesome to clear that up for them. “Yeah, you don’t really want to be a lawyer, you just want to impress your dad. Go write that novel!” Also, it’d be pretty handy if you were a diplomat, so...

Granola!

Have you noticed that any good granola costs five or six bucks per box? And it’s a 12-ounce box. That’s fracking ridiculous, especially since I learned how to make granola in elementary school. It probably wasn’t that great (I remember it including a bunch of vegetable oil…ewww), but still cheap. I decided to stop buying granola from the store. I can make a BETTER granola...

NYT's "Out of the Kitchen, onto the Couch" →

“Here’s an analogy,” Balzer said. “A hundred years ago, chicken for dinner meant going out and catching, killing, plucking and gutting a chicken. Do you know anybody who still does that? It would be considered crazy! Well, that’s exactly how cooking will seem to your grandchildren: something people used to do when they had no other choice. Get over it.”

Happy Easter, the Tomb is Empty →

Gotta love this line: “The debt has been paid, the last enemy death has been defeated, hell has been conquered, the captives have been liberated, love has triumphed and heavens gates have been opened wide.” It sounds like the end of some crazy fantasy movie.

One Mile Scroll →

A one-mile long web page, with marks for various heights. The ruler marks on the side are great, but I wish the background were a subtle gradient so you could see slight changes in color as you scrolled down. As it stands, all you see is a bunch of fluttering tick marks on each side.

“The Internet is my superpower.”

– Katherine Katherine, this belongs on a t-shirt! (via superamit) AHEM. That was me. Although, I was pretending to be Katherine, since she was pretending to be me. It was all very confusing.

What kind of house you can get for $160k →

I often have crazy dreams of moving to the middle of nowhere and living in a house like this. I imagine I’d be so free of distractions I’d be incredibly productive, while in reality I’d probably just end up like the guy in The Shining.
