1. Site Update

   I've made a few tweaks to the site over the past few days:

   • Made link posts follow the now-long-traditional Daring Fireball style.¹
   • You can now actually email me:² tony at thisdomain.
   • Comments.³

   Two other tweaks I really should make sooner rather than later:

   • Hiring a competent ...

2. Clicky and StatusBoard

   Panic's new StatusBoard iPad app was all the rage last week. It's a fun application that I'm sure many people who actually have statuses they need to check will appreciate. I'm not one of those people, but it's Panic so I bought the app anyway ...

3. Quotebook to HTML

   I am a voracious hoarder of quotations. As I read, I tend to jot them down in my Field Notes notebook and then (usually) type them into Quotebook. It's a well designed and convenient app for collecting such things.

   Patrick Rhone has this thing where he learns something new every day. I like the idea so I've decided to steal it and write what I discover in my logbook¹. The question, of course, is where to find something new every day. Patrick lists some ideas and they ...

   Apple: Hey, we've got this incredible iCloud thing. Everyone should use it.

   D: No problem. Here you go.

7. Yojimbo to Pinboard

   Back in August, Shawn Blanc wrote about his desire to automate moving all of his bookmarks from Yojimbo to Pinboard. I hacked together some Python and AppleScript that mostly accomplished it for him. But it was just that: a hack.

   Apparently someone else took and interest in it as well ...

8. Quick Hit - Books I Like

   I own a lot of books. I've even read a bunch of them. Here are a few of my favorites¹:

   The Illuminatus! Trilogy - by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson. A sexy nonlinear romp with anarchists and Discordians. Read this tome and you probably won't look at ...

9. On Being Social

   This post was partially inspired by two pieces I read this morning: My first month on App.net by Riccardo Mori and Can You Really Pick Yourself? by Michael Schechter.

   I am not a social person by nature. I'm an introvert who will go out of his way to ...
