I will be MIA for the next few days, riding the back bowls at the best snowboard resort in Colorado: Vail.
Nine Guesses for Text Input Possibilities for the Apple Tablet →
Dan Moren thinks the odds of the tablet shipping with a stylus are better than the odds of it shipping with a full-size virtual keyboard. (Via Marco.)
A Bigger Piece of Glass →
New website by Tory Hobson, curator of First & 20. This time, a curation of links to rumors, thoughts, hopes, and dreams for Apple’s new Tablet.
jitouch →
Hands down the best extension app for Magic Mouse I have used. It runs in the background, doesn’t require a menu-bar icon, and works like a charm. Only costs $6 and comes with a 15-day trial. (Via Jason Fried.)
Unclutter Your Mac in One Week →
Though I certainly geek out over this stuff, not everyone in the world cares. My wife, for example, is completely unconcerned by the fact she has over two gigabytes of data on her computer’s Desktop. I, on the other hand, would be in complete distress with such a state of my Desktop.
Patrick actually addresses this in the wrap-up to his series, talking about pilers, filers, and wanna-be filers. If you’re a filer (or wanna-be filer), and you care about the state of your Mac, I heartily recommend Patrick’s Unclutter Your Mac in One Week Series. And don’t miss day two, or day three, or day four, or day five.
“I Am Where I Am Meant to Be.” →
Noah Stokes’s story. I love stories.
Action Menu →
Action Menu is a jailbreak app which adds some handy features to the iPhone’s copy/paste functionality. Best of which is the in-line access to a list of clipboard favorites. You can add these faves when copying something, or manually within Action Menu’s settings. (Thanks to reader Sean Curley for the tip.)
iPhone vs. Google Phone →
And that’s with the unnecessary AT&T shout out in the status bar. (Via Chris Bowler.)
Serious though, I’m with David Chartier — I too would gladly spend an extended amount of time using an “iPhone killing” Android phone to see how it truly fares during my day-to-day life.
Sean Sperte’s Tweetie Icon →
Sized for the Matte Nano jailbreak theme, and much nicer than the one I’ve been using. I’m switching.
DashNote →
A nice and simple dashboard widget that syncs with Simplenote. This is currently what I’m using, and what I like most about it is how it’s always available. (Via Michael Mistretta.)
John Carey’s Most Excellent Photoblog →
In addition to subscribing to fiftyfootshadows.net, I also recommend that you: (a) download all of John’s desktop wallpapers; (b) set them to rotate every hour; and (c) enjoy.
An Ode to Droplr →
Nice overview by Chris Bowler. I’ve gone back and forth between Droplr and Cloud for the past several months. Cloud seems slightly more snappy, but Droplr certainly takes the cake with its feature set — I don’t who wouldn’t want to use it.
Brent’s Idea for Weekend Mode for Twitter Clients →
This would be my Weekday mode.
