Yeah.  Pitchfork named this their song of the year.  Here I thought I was the only one who oddly loved this album and had a super-secret crush on MIss Boucher.

Now *this* I'd take printed on the inside

I would have ordered this in a heartbeat.

Oh. "Colts" with an "o". Yeah, I got way too excited about that. (Taken with Instagram)

Fox News Discovers Nuclear Reactor In Japanese Disco

A quick Googling of “shibuyaeggman” turned up no meaningful results. A Nexis search was also fruitless. However, further inquiries revealed that Eggman is the name of a dance club in a trendy neighborhood of Tokyo called… Shibuya. And, it just so happens, the Fox graphic appears to place the alleged reactor in Tokyo.

There is something really enthralling about Odd Future.

Below, Neven ponders iPhoto making its way to iOS and how precisely that will happen.

I really hope this does come to be.  I don't use the Photos app very often on my iPad, but it is among the first things anyone else using my iPad wants to see in action.

The tactile interaction with images on the iPad really is the closest you can get to actual printed photos.  I suppose that's why I want more of a photo management tool than a photo album - which is essentially what is there now.  Since I first loaded images on the iPad, I have wanted to use it to compare, sort and manage photos.

Like many parents, I snap lots of photos in succession just hoping to catch my son in some state of cuteness that is also suitably in focus (bonus points if the surrounding area doesn't look like we reside in a landfill).  That means that I have lots of photos that are almost good. Flipping from one image to the next, resizing, rotating all takes milliseconds in iOS. Add in the ability to view images side-by-side and a delete button (perhaps a few other simple manipulation and editing tools) whose effect transferred back to my master iPhoto library and it would be a perfect tool for managing said library and separating the almost good from the truly good.

Also noteworthy, if you don't have the iPad Camera Connection Kit, it is worth seeing the photo import process that it employs. It serves as yet another demonstration of Apple's attention to details.

This week’s release of iMovie and GarageBand for iPad may well turn out to be a very important moment in consumer software. GarageBand in particular is a simply phenomenal app, going well above and beyond most people’s expectations for a creative/consumer app on a tablet. It’s not perfect, but...

1) Be polite and smile your brains out, but let the bartender flirt first. Always provide a number, never ask for one. 2) Decide what you will order on the drive to the bar. Eye contact is key, never wave money to get attention. 3) Vodka and Coke? That better be a joke. 4) If a song is longer...

As a rule, I dislike Internet lists. This list of rules trumps that rule. Wish I had this 10, 15, 20 years ago.

Best. Error Message. Ever.

You're kidding me, right?  What you're saying is, this:

A) You saved my document B) You can't re-open the document C) To fix this, I should close and re-open the document

I think this means that the solution to my problem is precisely the problem itself.  This seems like a trap.

note: Just in case you can't read the awkwardly stout dialog it says "The document was saved successfully, but Excel cannot re-open it because of a sharing violation. Please close the document and try to open it again."

Diller, Brill, and Murdoch seem be stating a simple fact—we will have to pay them—but this fact is not in fact a fact. Instead, it is a choice, one its proponents often decline to spell out in full, because, spelled out in full, it would read something like this: “Web users will have to pay for what they watch and use, or else we will have to stop making content in the costly and complex way we have grown accustomed to making it. And we don’t know how to do that.”

Clay Shirky

It's like Clay gets in our heads, takes the stuff we know, but don't know we know, and then turns around and makes us know it.  Damn, that dude gets it.
