A NASL suggestion that should be recognized.
Zhek: day9's music + nasl
Zhek: = Tolerable stream
So, I heard there was a tumblr meetup happening next Monday down at Cous Cous.
My only thought: I swear to God, if you’re showing up solely for the purpose of looking for a job at tumblr, I WILL RAGE.
There. I said it. It’s better than pledging violence, I figure.

Long form writing not for Tumblr? C-C-C-CHANGES.
So, apparently via the collecting agreement from the stage of the SMCRVA panel last night, using tumblr for longer than 5-10 second reads on posts is using tumblr wrong.
If that’s true, I’m going to have to switch the domain back to Posterous and subdomain the tumblrlog.
Going forward, this will be tumblr.carrtrubl.com and the main blog will be at carrtrubl.com.
Have a nice...

Geolocation versus a Sunday afternoon.
So, sitting in a Panera on a Sunday afternoon has given me a bit of a thought that I want to run with for a few minutes here. I’m going to leave much of this thought beyond the break, but I think I’ve found the thesis—if you excuse the formal term—is that… with popular places like this, why do we need geolocation games or services like FourSquare?
Hear me out.

What is the Color of the tech bubble?
I wasn’t a believer in the idea of the buzz-phrase ‘tech bubble’ being thrown around… until Color revealed its $41 million funding and unpolished application. Being disappointed with what I think would be a pretty neat idea, I decided to fire back the following email to the address hidden within the app for feedback on the service.
SUBJ: I want to like Color… but it’s horrible.

Cerov Minervan
The following is a sort of character prologue I’ve compiled for a Dungeons and Dragons game based in the Star Wars universe. Hopefully this will make some sense as well as lend some manner of largesse to my nerd cred.
With some manner of music continually going through his headset, Cerov Minervan was able to ignore any number of atrocities that seemed to engulf his then-home planet of...

A Boeing 767 pilot recalls landing the day of the... →
An incredibly detailed (in as much as one of these things could be without getting the author in trouble with his airline) account of one pilot trying to land his 767 after completing a trans-Pacific flight for the first time… into Japan, the day of the massive 8.8 earthquake.
He tries to keep it light-hearted with the Top Gun reference and the various aside in the story but I can’t...

Once again, it seems that John Gruber has a pretty convincing argument when it comes to changes that Apple has made to the iOS environment running on Apple’s devices. Long story short: it’s all about security—who’d have thought?
