I’m working on a new web mashup application this week, so I’ll be posting more seldom than usual. But do remember to check back when the week is over to fiddle around with the new app for yourself.

Tough question. 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.

On the Gizmodo iPhone leak:

“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.

The site’s name stands for if this then that. 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.

A random sampling of history’s most clueless predictions — from faulty scientific forecasts to sweeping political statements.

I can’t help clicking for just one more quote. (via mental_floss)
