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

James Mitchell, Monday, 30 January 2012 14:24 (fourteen years ago)

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

stet, Monday, 30 January 2012 15:04 (fourteen years ago)

the internet is beaconless, rip, so inelegant

lag∞n, Monday, 30 January 2012 15:05 (fourteen years ago)

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

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."

James Mitchell, Monday, 30 January 2012 15:20 (fourteen years ago)

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

Speaking of Ben Brooks, he has a credo.

Can understand why this guy hates Google so much if he keeps checking Analytics to find people like us laughing at him.
