indefensible: john gruber

should've checked to see if i were spelling the word correctly before repeating it a million times, but oh well

I replaced my colopohon (so 2005) with an Instapaper reading list.

rip

i use the Mute Switch Debate as a yardstick

i use it as a dick beacon

i read u, but i don't know if i trust u

I leave my phone on mute overnight but set an alarm for the morning to wake up? Seems pretty common.

i don't have an iphone, but i live my phone on all night because i assume if someone's gonna call me really late it's an emergency and if it's not i can just tell them they're a fucking idiot

You have a phone that's not going to receive push notifications and email all night though, right?

yeah, i have some lg flip phone piece of shit from 2009. i'm sure what i do wouldn't work for everyone, but it works for me. when i get an iphone i'll probably do the same thing i do now, except i'll also shut off most of the push notifications and other annoying shit

i also shut sms off over two years ago, so i don't really have that to worry about -- no more 3 am text messages from friends who are in a bar in another country! rip

why did you shut off sms

imo if you have enough time to post on ilx then you don't really need push notifications enabled

phones are these things you do web browsing on and check apps and send text messages on, and very rarely use the antiquated "voice call" feature

hahaha

i do own an ipod touch tbh

In December, however, seven months after the blast that killed Mr. Lai, another iPad factory exploded, this one in Shanghai. Once again, aluminum dust was the cause, according to interviews and Apple’s most recent supplier responsibility report. That blast injured 59 workers, with 23 hospitalized.

“It is gross negligence, after an explosion occurs, not to realize that every factory should be inspected,” said Nicholas Ashford, the occupational safety expert, who is now at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “If it were terribly difficult to deal with aluminum dust, I would understand. But do you know how easy dust is to control? It’s called ventilation. We solved this problem over a century ago.”

4:00 – 4:50 PM: The State of Apple

Macworld’s Jason Snell, Andy Ihnatko, and John Gruber discuss where the new, Tim Cook-led Apple will go in 2012 and beyond.

Macworld? is that like the WWDC but also gay?

he's on http://www.macworld.com/

p bad so far

Think @marco tried explaining this to Siri and his iPhone blew up.

Marco disagreed with Ben Brooks the other day. Having read, can I now trust? Why are there no yardsticks for this sort of thing?

the internet is beaconless, rip, so inelegant

I tried searcing Duckduckgo for beacons and yardsticks, and it found nothing.

lol braces http://brooksreview.net/colophon/

More like the Brooks Brother Review amirite?

"I own stock in UPS, Microsoft, Abercrombie & Fitch, Oracle."

*Brothers*

Great ad on his site too: "This week's sponsor is Déjà Vu - Your visual memory. An iPhone app to snap pictures of things you want to remember."

Haha, poor guy couldn't even get the Deck to advertise on his site, had to settle for the cheap knockoff

I think my 2012 goal is going to be to spend a handful of hours every week trying to understand how others perceive me, so that I may not turn into these guys

charles in charge of our beacons and our yardsticks

Also his colophon is not even a proper colophon

needs to be screened for colophon cancer

Speaking of Ben Brooks, he has a credo.

When he says
"Readability is of utmost importance."

do u think he means the concept or the web/app? makes u think

Sweet found a message board this morning full of people hating on me. Two notes though: 1. I don't have braces. 2. A message board? Really?

o wait, the more elegant term is suspenders, right?
