But do remember to check back when the week is over to fiddle around with the new app for yourself.

My first post on this site is dated August 1 2009, which would make it version 2.8.2. I do however distinctly remember using version 2.7 at some point in time.

“Hi, this is Steve. I really want my phone back.”

He wasn’t demanding. He was asking. And he was charming and he was funny. I was half-naked, just getting back from surfing, but I managed to keep my shit together.

The single best remembrance piece I’ve read on Jobs.

We started Panic with two things: $500, and a love of the Mac. We had no idea what we were doing. Fortunately, someone else did.

Replace this with a action performed on a popular online service and that with a task to perform on another service, and ifttt makes it happen. For example: if i get a new email labelled “urgent” in Gmail then send me a text message.

I’m having one of those “why didn’t I think of that?” moments. A genius service.
