Alternate Personal Tumblelogs
topherchris:
Some of the stuff I want to say doesn’t belong on the main one.
I’ve noticed a growing trend of more and more users running a second tumblelog as an addendum to their main Tumblr account.

Marco told me he was going to beta test the question post type with everyone but me. I think he wasn’t joking…
Louis C.K. wrote and directed Pootie Tang!?

instapaper:
I’m sorry for such a long delay — this is just such a major release (new features, about 75% new code, tons of improvements) that I want to make sure it’s impeccable for release, and there are still a few occasional crashing bugs.
Rest assured that it’s worth the wait. The background downloading alone completely changes how you use it.
I wonder if Marco made new icons yet…...
Request to an Amazon Kindle owner
Could you take a picture of your kindle with the words “the future” displayed on the screen? it’s for… a thing.
All of my iPhone Apps
Amazon Mobile - never use it, but seems like it would be useful if I had to
AOL Radio - Good when I run out of podcasts to listen to on bike rides
AP News Network - nice news app
Birdhouse - you will buy this app when it is released
Blocked - most frustrating game, yet so simple
Bloomberg - for when I want to get depressed
Cambio - really simple conversions app
Colloquy - excellent IRC...
Ben's rules/beliefs of Piracy
You really should not have to pay for something that is in the public domain. (ie. recordings of classical music pieces).
It is OK to pirate a piece of software over $5-20 and find a serial number for it if you only plan to use it once or twice and then delete it or if you want to try the full version without restrictions before you buy it (The developer really should not have limited their demo...

idea
The web is really interesting. By that I mean the idea of connected computers to send information across distances. The infrastructure has evolved to a point where we can store a large amount of data and transmit that data somewhere far away very quickly. Recently we’ve begun to prefect getting that data onto smaller, more portable devices. This means that we’re using the data in our...

Can you answer my fucking question?
It's my Xanadu
stevenf:
For years I’ve had this bordering on Howard Hughesian vision that one day I would have a giant, private, wiki-like document that had a page containing everything I knew about anything.
It would be complete, readable, editable, and searchable from whichever device I happened to have on me, from desktop computer, to laptop, to iPhone, even if I wasn’t connected to the net.

If you have not heard this podcast yet, you are really missing out. He has had some really great people on already: Bobcat Goldthwait, Seth MacFarlane, Leo Laporte, Doug Benson, Jimmy Kimmel. The podcast is less than a month old.
