I agree with every single word of @khoi’s post about @flipboard — I was planning to write the exact same post today. :) http://bit.ly/aHkLKw

I would sing “Somebody Told Me” by The Killers, but I think I pronounce “February” too correctly to make it rock.

If you have a model called “contest” and you’re working with Django template “contexts,” you will be frustrated by typos. No way around it.

Two hours later, @flipboard notifies me that they’re ready to customize my Flipboard with Facebook and Twitter accounts. Coincidence?

Status // 07.28.2010 // 2:37 PM // 0 Comments

Two weeks ago I was stoked about @Flipboard. I still don’t have my FB and Twitter accounts connected. I am not stoked anymore.

RT @AtomFusion: @jcroft “You’re my derived class only now existing solely because something is keeping a reference to you.” (Perfect.)

In 15 years, will we say, “you’re my constant,” or “you’re my totem?”

The Adobe-powered Apple-hating mafia is getting more annoying by the minute. Now they’re responding to tweets about Django with iPhone hate.

And by “something less elegant,”…yes, PHP, I’m looking at you.

Status // 07.27.2010 // 3:24 PM // 0 Comments

Using Django is a bit like using a Retina Display: it completely spoils your ability to ever use something less elegant again.

ATTENTION ONEDERS: We are not done! We have a game this Sunday! Why? Because we made the playoffs. How? I have no idea.

B3 wins in a landslide. And I agree. But Rhodes? Still awesome, and still kicking the shit of you Moog and Wurlitzer fans. So suck it.

Twitter poll: Greatest keyboarded instrument ever: Rhodes or B3? Yes, those are your only choices. Don’t argue, bitch.

In AEA has taught us anything, it’s that people in the same city will pay to hear the same speakers on the same topics year in and year out.

The problem of “same old speakers” is a valid one, but it’s also a very hard one for a conference organizer to solve. http://bit.ly/cocxyi
