“It might actually be good, or even better than Evernote. But I still won’t use...”
– via (http://gigaom.com/2013/03/20/sorry-google-you-can-keep-it-to-yourself/) I don’t know why this sort of thing is a surprise to anyone. If you choose to rely on a free product, sooner or later decisions will be made that might be completely at odds with your best interests. For Google...

On The Vine
I love Vine. If Instagram is a $1bn service, I couldn’t even begin to value Vine after they refine the app. parislemon: What is it about this particular video app? For me, a small tweak to the capture process is key. You no longer have to tap a button to start recording a video and tap that button again to stop it. (Why are we tapping a “button” that doesn’t actually exist anyway?)...

Evernote Tip: BCC Project Deliverables to Evernote...
Evernote is a great tool. I hear from many of my friends that they gave it a shot, but unfortunately never found a way to integrate it into their daily lives. I’m sure this is a common bit of feedback for Evernote. It’s part of why their Twitter account is always sharing “how Person X uses Evernote” articles. Not surprisingly, this tweet literally just entered my Twitter...

What's the Future of Tweetbot?
With the never-officially-announced announcement of Twitter for Mac’s discontinuance, the arrival of Tweetbot is a treat. It is a superb piece of software worth all the praise it’s getting. The $20 price tag is substantial, but not without reason: Because of Twitter’s recent enforcement of token limits, we only have a limited number of tokens available for Tweetbot for Mac....

onedogoneblog: But then along came Siri, who is a marvelous transcriptionist, and suddenly this world of blogging has opened its gilded doors to me. I love Siri. I really do. If you have Siri’s home address, please send it along so that I may go over to her house and sit in a different room from her so that she’ll know that I love her. My dog has a blog (Seriously, I don’t write...

John Gruber Reviews the Paperwhite Kindle →
But page-turning is a bit of a setback. It’s good that you can use the touchscreen to turn pages, but why not include dedicated page-turning buttons as well? The e-ink Kindles are designed to do one thing really well: display long-form text. Page-turning is at the heart of the Kindle reading experience. An active Kindle reader is going to go to the next page hundreds — in some cases, I’m sure,...

My Themes from #XOXOFest
It’s been a week since I attended #XOXOFest in Portland, OR. It was a Kickstarter-funded conference that…well in their own words: XOXO is an arts and technology festival celebrating disruptive creativity. We’re bringing independent artists who use the Internet to make a living doing what they love together with the technologists building the tools that make it possible. The...

“I’ve been using iOS 6 for a few months, and initially chalked up the problems...”
–  Who benefits from iOS6’s crappy maps? - Anil Dash Rafer sez: @anildash Apple had no choice. They need to stop making Google’s maps better, which is what they’ve been doing moment-in and moment-out for years. What’s missing from this conversation is that map usage is critical. Regardless of...

Bear Diary - Entry 1 - Location Unknown Two days ago I awoke in a state of sheer panic with a blistering headache. My surroundings were completely unfamiliar, and though I recognized that I was famished, I wanted nothing more than a few laps of water from the river I’m used to waking up near. It is clear to me now that I must be very far from my river. I’ve spent the last 48 hours...

Something About Google Fiber Doesn't Sit Right...
I was recently in Kansas City, MO, and I got to give Google Fiber a test drive. I guess I should’ve expected it, but Google’s presence in the city is hard to miss. I happened upon a colorful Google building within a half hour, and many local businesses have “Try Google Fiber” stations where folks can try out the speedy service. As an aside, I’m not really jazzed...
