Paul Graham on why I don’t have a Facebook account:

Most people I know have problems with Internet addiction. We’re all trying to figure out our own customs for getting free of it. That’s why I don’t have an iPhone, for example; the last thing I want is for the Internet to follow me out into the world. […]

Sounds pretty eccentric, doesn’t it? It always will when you’re trying to solve problems where there are no customs yet to guide you. Maybe I can’t plead Occam’s razor; maybe I’m simply eccentric. But if I’m right about the acceleration of addictiveness, then this kind of lonely squirming to avoid it will increasingly be the fate of anyone who wants to get things done. We’ll increasingly be defined by what we say no to.

The best Bible app available for the iPhone and iPad has got to be the ESV Bible app. It’s free, it looks great, and it works great.

This past weekend Crossway released the ESV Bible+ app. It has all the awesome of the free version and also comes with more content for studying, audio of the Bible, and a significantly better UX for taking notes within the app itself. Also, it’s on sale for the rest of this week.
