Ages ago, I was annoyed by how irritatingly hard it was to pin images to Pinterest on my iPhone. I was essentially pissed that iOS 8 extensions didn’t yet exist. I hacked together my own bookmark link that was a combo of Marco Arment’s Instapaper bookmarklet-adding instructions of yore (something like this), plus whatever code… Continue reading Pinterest iOS bookmarklet workaround

Apparently, I care a lot about swag
Tina Roth Eisenberg (aka SwissMiss) recently asked her readership about swag, on Twitter and her blog. What's the coolest swag you've ever received? What was it? What company gave it out? — Tina Roth Eisenberg (@swissmiss) May 14, 2014 I was surprised by the strength and length of my opinions on the subject in the… Continue reading Apparently, I care a lot about swag
My second piece for Medium
Wow, I haven’t written anything here since my last Medium post. I sense a new trend! Not really. I almost wrote a thing about One Star App Review Gate (kill me for saying that; I mean the stupid -gate suffix ironically, in case it wasn’t clear). But then I didn’t. So here’s my latest Medium… Continue reading My second piece for Medium
My first piece for Medium
Check it out; I finally wrote my first piece for Medium! It’s about how I hate default text and crappy auto-tweets and generally bad non-human-like behavior on social media. What should the next one be?
Epic spam comment template (?)
I just got this as a single spam comment on one of my less-used sites. My jaw kinda dropped. I thought someone out there might find it as interesting, disturbing, amusing, and/or useful – perhaps if you develop anti-spam products, you’ve just been handed a useful template to add to your filtering system. Anyway, enjoy!… Continue reading Epic spam comment template (?)
iPhone 5s and accessories
I got my iPhone 5s, and I LOVE it. (Space Gray, 32 GB, ordered via AT&T because the Apple Store hated me at preorder o’clock.) 1AT&T did a good job with all this; surprisingly, much better than Apple. 2 I was debating getting a larger hard drive, because I love having a massive music library… Continue reading iPhone 5s and accessories
My Apple announcement annoyances
Last week was the Apple announcement about iPhones, as we all know. I lazily covered the coverage with a couple Internet pals here and here, in case you feel like watching a lot of awkward banter and dead air. :) One week after the Apple shebang, here’s where I’m at: –I don’t give a crap… Continue reading My Apple announcement annoyances
TV above the fireplace
Ever since flat screen TVs took over the old cathode ray tube models, people have been mounting them on the wall, causing the earth’s interior design community to have a collective cow. Wall-mounting is so practical, though! It saves valuable floor and furniture space since TVs no longer have to rest atop a bulky media… Continue reading TV above the fireplace
Designer collections at big box stores
I’ve seen this new business fad in home décor and fashion over the last few years; sought-after designers like Missoni and Jonathan Adler releasing budget-friendly collections at cheaper retailers like Target and JCPenney, respectively. I’ve always kind of wondered how this worked; with some like Missoni everything sold out in mere hours, so it was… Continue reading Designer collections at big box stores
First Finder cleanup results
Things I learned: 1) You can just delete all those f-cking .dmg files. Cool! Thanks 2) When I take notes on a detailed phone conversation, event, or podcast recording session, I sure do need to jot down your full name and how I know you. Harry and Michelle, you barely made it through the cracks.… Continue reading First Finder cleanup results
