I still don't see the appeal of app.net. Twitter's been fine, and nobody I want to hear from is exclusively on app.net.

He needs one this year.
And yes, I'm filling space. š

From 2007: What's wrong with Sports Illustrated?
Apparently SI is losing money and is in danger of going away very soon.
The last time I seriously looked at an issue of SI ((Not including the waiting rooms at a doctor's office or something.)) was in high school.

If I could monetize planes and conveyor belts I'd be rich!
That page is still getting traffic. Maybe that proves that there IS an idiot born every minute. š

I really hope to be able to afford a Tesla (i.e. I hope they become less expensive) some day, but these three posts tell an interesting tale of media bias. Why a journalist would be biased against electric cars I have no idea, but… there you have it.

The takeaway:
In conclusion, Brooks has a shoe with a great deal of potential in the PureDrift. The first incarnation has some shortcomings that I was able to remedy with an insole swap, but I think only some minor tweaks would be required to take this shoe to another level in future incarnations. Iād redesign the integrated footbed to remove seams along the margins, soften the sole just a tad, or include a slightly beefier insole (like the current PureCadence 2 insole). With the tweak I made, I foresee this shoe remaining on my active rack for quite awhile!
The rest of the review is here.

This article talks about how to get rid of duplicate entries in the "Open With…" contextual menu.
I've had this command in my nightly (user) cron file for many months now:
# Flush Launch Services Cache
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/
LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

Wow. I hadn't ever heard of this.

Seriously, it's 2013. I have 32 GB of RAM. And Safari still craps out all the time and has to reload every page I've loaded with as few as 20 tabs open.
Rarely can you even close tabs to rectify the situation. It seems like once it gets into that state it won't let you get out of it very easily.
Clearing the cache regularly doesn't seem to help.
It's 2013 and we have Mac OS X 10.8 and Safari 6.x. C'mon, people, figure this crap out.

Why would iMovie's modal "Publishing to YouTube" window ever need to go fullscreen?

Talk about a bug that shouldn't exist, right?
Fortunately, there's an easy fix: type purge
into your Terminal window.
That's it.

I was in the first 20% of people to support the Pebble Kickstarter campaign. I chose a black and a white Pebble (one is a gift for a friend), and my address has been checked promptly as well.
I've voted, I've chosen colors quickly, etc.
So where in the heck are my Pebbles? Don't give me a goofy site. Tell me when mine ships ((Perhaps so I can sell it as it doesn't seem to have advanced much in terms of software since it was conceived…)).
