I keep thinking “I should blog more.” But then I realized I say about everything I want to here on Twitter. Good conversation here, too.

Why My Blog Isn’t Updated So Often
May 5th, 2010Page Flips Are Better Than Infinite Scroll
March 15th, 2010Dude has a point. Note: he’s talking about scrolling on the iPad. Not iPhone.
Your high IQ will kill your startup
March 4th, 2010I enjoyed the thoughtful story, and it reminds me that success comes from smarts and hard work, not just smarts on their own.
OK Go: This Too Shall Pass
March 2nd, 2010At Ignite LA on March 1, Adam Sadowsky unveiled the new OK Go video. It was one giant, beautiful Rube Goldberg machine that took 20 18 hour days, thousands of ping pong balls two pianos and several TVs to put together. The killer things: they did this in one take, things were in sync with the music, and at one point the song dropped out and had just the machine playing the music.
Seriously, this has to be the sweetest music video ever in life.
Flash and The Web, Continued.
February 26th, 2010Another good, in-depth discussion on the Flash/no-Flash on iPhone and iPad and what this move means for web designers/developers everywhere.
David Heinemeier Hansson – Unlearn Your MBA
February 23rd, 2010Wow, this was good. My favorite highlight: discussing the lunacy of the 80 hour + workweek. I’m glad he went there, because I’ve seen people who believe in dedicating their every waking moment to a project or startup—and expect everyone else to as well.
I know you can’t always do it in 40 hours, but I really question the efficiency of someone who works 80 hours plus every week on a project.
Chalk one up to working smart, then work hard.
The McSweeney’s Mantra: Haven’t Tried It Yet? Do It Anyway.
February 16th, 2010Never having done something before is a bad reason not to do it.
A good story on trying new things. McSweeney’s is such a pile of inspiration.
Teach every child about food: Jamie Olivers TED Prize wish
February 12th, 2010While I’m acutely aware of our overuse of adjectives (especially on Twitter, where everything is a brilliantly awesomely stunning list of the 35 best CSS techniques) here on the Internets, I’ve got full belief in the fact that this talk is amazing.
In short, teach our children about food—we’ll be a better, healthier and smarter society. My kids will know, and I want to share it with every one of you.

Square
February 11th, 2010It’s not easy to make a great, simple intro video to your product. But Square really managed to pull it off so well. Have a look!
Is Design More Important Than Engineering?
February 9th, 2010Or as I see it: no one will drive a car with tons of good features if they can’t figure out how to open the door. So I’d say that it carries a little more importance than engineering, maybe 60% to 40%.
