Switching from Tweetie for Mac to Echofon
This should come as no surprise to those of you that follow me on Twitter but I’ve switched from Tweetie for Mac, which hasn’t seen an update for months, to the oft updated Echofon.
Tweetie for Mac still has a few standout features that draw me to using it – but any software that runs on [...]
Massive 8.8 earthquake in Chile
The earthquake, which had an epicenter just offshore in Maule, Chile, has sent tsunami warnings across the entire Pacific region including Hawai’i, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, and many other countries.

Interview with GitHub team member Scott Chacon
I was digging through this interview of GitHub developer Scott Chacon trying to find the most quoatable portion to paste here in hopes that you’d follow the link to the interview to read it. The fact is, though, the entire interview is dripping with awesome. Read it.

The Mariana Trench to scale
This has been passed around a bit lately but it is just too awesome not to share. Here is an image showing the Mariana Trench to scale showing a human being, a Blue Whale, and some various depths as you work you way down 36,000ft. of water. Amazing.

Updates to the Tumblr API
Tumblr is rolling out updates to its API. I’m liking the updates that I’m seeing so far and I think Tumblr could really benefit from having a stronger API offering.
Geronimo Jack’s Beard – A new LOST podcast from Jorge Garcia
This is too awesome for words but I’ll try my best anyway. Jorge Garcia, whose blog I’ve been subscribed to for – well, a long time now, has started a LOST podcast – aptly named Geronimo Jack’s Beard (presumably in tribute to Geronimo Jackson which has been mentioned on LOST a few times over the [...]
5 by 5 Studios – Talk radio for the Internet
Or, maybe we should call it Talk Internet now? Talk radio still sounds better. Anyway…
Dan Benjamin, who like me has always been a very big fan of talk radio, has launched a new network for audio podcasts called 5 by 5 Studios. I’ve listened to the first few episodes of each of his shows and [...]
Pack your CSS and JavaScript
Pack, by fellow Viddler team member and friend Andrew Smith, is a great utility to compress your CSS and JavaScript for deployment. The real meat of Pack comes from its ability to take an entire directory of scripts and compress them using a set of instructions. Nice work Andrew.
The name iPad
Neven Mrgan just changed my perspective on the name iPad. I don’t particularly care for it. However, Neven compares iPad to the name of some of the top gadgets currently getting press. Turns out, iPad is an excellent name now.

RSS Subscription extension for Google Chrome
Here is a great example of a good extension written for Google Chrome. The RSS Subscription extension is built by someone on the Chromium team and it brings in the unified feed icon button into the location bar to subscribe to any feeds found on a site. Works perfectly, fits naturally, has a fair amount [...]
iPad impressions and keyboard wonkiness
I had published a placeholder link for the iPad when it was announced. I’ve now updated that post to include my impressions of the iPad based on the video, announcement video, and Web site.
Kyle Slattery, whom you all should know by now, has also published a post about comparing the physical keyboard input with that [...]

The Apple iPad
So, it has finally been announced.
Now, what do I think about it? I have to admit that since it was announced, about 36 hours ago now, my opinion of the iPad has swung back and forth like a blade of grass in a stiff breeze. I sit here (on the couch no less) wishing I had [...]
Apple Tablet roundup
On the cusp of an announcement from Apple later this afternoon (or morning if you’re in San Francisco where the event is taking place) I thought I’d roundup my favorite posts about the Apple Tablet up until today.
I want a big iPhone too – Of course, I just had to include my own post about [...]

A Google Chrome Extension for Viddler
As a sort of pet project of mine I’ll be committing updates to a Google Chrome Extension for Viddler.com. There is very, very little there so far but there will be more over time. If you have a hand for creating cool Google Chrome Extensions feel free to contribute.
