OMFG THIS IS AWESOME. http://bit.ly/dPfKar
RT @pieratt: Gonna be a lot of angry frat boys when Word Lens starts translating kanji tattoos
Anybody know of a passive/ambient news reader for iPad? I wanna put it on while I’m listening to Pandora.

The hipsters across the street are sitting on the roof giggling loudly at 3:42am. Giving serious consideration to burning their house down.
RT @Richard_Kadrey: Gawker users don’t forget that if you reused your password on other sites you want to change those, too. Have fun wa …
Dear Netflix: I find your lack of SUPER TROOPERS disturbing.
Obtained iPad. Anybody recommend a solid php-capable ide?
Really beautiful generative cloud forests. http://bit.ly/hA3rqe
(I’m not using straight Ajax pagination because it calls ALL the data and then paginates it. I wanna trigger limited num/offset calls in PHP
And now I’m going to go back to figuring out how to do pagination with Ajax and PHP. :-)
The difference between Us and Them (whoever they are, whoever we are) is that we are not afraid of the future. So make the future happen.
Like, imagine if Twitter loaded ALL your tweets and then used Ajax to paginate them. Fucking hell, you’d be waiting a week. (Well, I would.)
I’ve added a basic FAQ to Stikki.me. Feedback appreciated. http://bit.ly/glASJw
(I didn’t see the film adaptation of The Dark Is Rising. Looked awful. Awful reviews. Worse changes to the source material.)
The Guardian discusses one of my favorite novels, The Dark Is Rising by Susan Cooper. http://bit.ly/gnTFwD
For once, I think the Beatles are most appropriate here: ♫ http://blip.fm/~zgyk0
Water flows around obstacles, and by doing so, eventually, it wears them down. Not to sound like a fucking hippie.
Don’t be destructive, create alternatives. You don’t like PayPal? Make your own payment system. (I’ve been down that road already.) :-)
Better yet: set up your own version of Wikileaks. Don’t just mirror it, remake it in your image. Never stop fighting till the fight is won.
Stikki pagination ought to work now. Twitter-style: adds older stikkis to the bottom of the list rather than true pagination.
If the best we can come up with is punitive attacks on faceless corporations, we don’t deserve to win. Stop breaking things. Make things.
And remember: Julian Assange is not Wikileaks. You are. We are. We can be. That’s the whole point, right?
I get pissy sometimes, but I have faith that people will find ways to stop the bad people from doing bad shit without being bad themselves.
That’s one of my core philosophies: don’t fight enemies, if you can avoid it. Don’t argue with them. Just ignore them and route around them.
And so to bed. Last night slept at 5am, woke up this morning at 10am, 2 hr nap this evening, worked all day. So I’m very tired.
Note to self: set up subversion for Stikki.me so I’m not updating files by hand.
Flash beta has borked Chrome. Time to roll back like the ocean.
Has anyone in this family ever even seen a chicken?
This is why the Internet sucks. http://bit.ly/hc7LT8 (The Internet also rocks. But this is why it sucks.)
First Dirk Gently TV show trailer! I AM IN RAPTURE!!!! http://on.io9.com/epjxwa
Funnily enough, this resembles my own five year plan. http://bit.ly/f4TC7y
Tried watching ALICE IN WONDERLAND. Awful. Dull and literal, and shot for 3D. Looks idiotic on a flat screen. Shame.
I really wish Burton had actually adapted McGee;s Alice videogame, instead of ripping off the vibe. It was more interesting.
Are Chrome OS devices gonna have GPS onboard? If they have cellular, they should, right?
Just watched CENTURION, with Michael Fassbender. Good Roman action movie. Lots of Doctor Who people in it.
If anybody has any thoughts/comments about the UI of Stikki.me, please let me know. I want feedback! :-)
If Assange is charged with a crime with a $700 fine punishment, why is Interpol after him? Does anybody really believe this bullshit?
Baby sloths are my favorite animals. http://bit.ly/fPfgxa
Billy Bullshit put up my post! http://bit.ly/gNmUbE
Waaaaah! http://bit.ly/eA8Gqi
Riverboat Zombie Survival Compound! (Also a great band name.) http://bit.ly/eCaRIe
A sandwich without cheese is like sex without midgets.
(Short version: what prevents public or private infosec players from using Wikileaks as an information gun?)
Something occurred to me this morning about Wikileaks: http://bit.ly/h6cZ3r
So, uh, Christmas is coming up: http://bit.ly/eXLYUQ
Vaya con dios, Elizabeth Edwards. Good luck.

You can still register for a Stikki invite, but it won’t give you one automatically. I’ll approve more invites soon.
You can contact me if you’re really, really interested in alpha testing Stikki.
