Wizard Mode
Thursday, January 21st, 2010My very dear friend Justin de Vesine has finally gotten around to starting his own blog, entitled Wizard Mode. Justin is exactly the sort of guy who should be sharing his thoughts and curating a link list, and I'm excited to see what shape his new site takes.

Red Sweater Grants Wishes
Monday, December 21st, 2009Daniel Jalkut fancies himself a genie. Mention Red Sweater products on Twitter for a chance at free stuff. My favorite part is at the bottom. I REALLY HOPE THERE ISN’T ANY NEED FOR FINE PRINT BECAUSE I JUST WANT TO GIVE SOME STUFF AWAY AND HAVE NOBODY RAISE A BIG LEGAL ...
Weekend Mode and Pseudo-Follow
Sunday, December 13th, 2009Brent Simmons throws his Twitter client feature request out into the ether for some enterprising developer to grab onto.

How to Be Awesome
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009This article has money quotes all over it. Never make excuses about being too busy, not having enough time, etc. People who are awesome make time for what’s important to them. And If the people you hang out with are always complaining about other people, chances are they probably complain about you too.

• Coathangr 1.5
Monday, November 30th, 2009After several weeks and one rejection letter, I'm happy to report that Coathangr 1.5 is available on the App Store. We made a number of significant improvements in this release, not the least of which is support for the Love system. For those who don't know, Coathangr is a social network ...
Stop Tweeting About It
Wednesday, November 25th, 2009I only have one thing to add to this list, and it's for the ladies: Don't tweet about your body. Things like "Man, my bra is so tight today" or "I can't believe I forgot to wear underwear" make you seem desperate and needy.
