But I'm intrigued about the dolphin teeth.
Just learned that my favorite children's book was also Gandhi's (and Hitler, Stalin and Franco all hated it): en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story_of_Ferdinand
I wish life was like Monkey Island. No death, no wrong answers, just exploration until you find the right path. Rubber chickens, also.
The iPhone is a beautiful piece of hardware but iOS is disconnected, confusing and infuriatingly obstructive.
In iOS, users spend a lot more time on the web than in Android. But every app has its own, closed-off browser. Insane.
In my informal experiment: readers in "prefer considered, well-cited pieces that took effort to write" shocker. Content farms lose out.
@shanehudson yes, but that doesn't explain the dolphin teeth.

Thinking I won't leave my Twitter DMs open, in solidarity with the many people who can't for fear of harassment.
That moment where your mother points out that all your childhood friends are having children and buying homes. Thanks, ma.
@stefanitza I don't know about that. I find the ones at the opposite end intolerable.
@aaronpk Welll, yeeeees, but I wanted something that would paper over the UI cracks ;) I'm going to write my own UI instead.
This is very good. Why TV newsrooms should post real content on social media: http://www.pbs.org/mediashift/2015/04/how-tv-newsrooms-should-use-facebook-and-why/
@ericnakagawa -- but it may be more true in the US, where a relative lack of social safety net makes subsisting as an artist much harder.
@ericnakagawa I'm not sure that one's entirely true. Lots of eccentric artists I've known have subsisted on very little money --
Huh. The NSA's official recycling video includes footage of recycled hard drives: https://www.nsa.gov/public_info/media_center/agency/video/recycling/index.html

@andymcmillan An un-networking app could be fun: notifications warn you to fake a call or check your email if someone approaches you.

Opera changed the way people use the web in all kinds of ways - not least on mobile and embedded devices. Sorry to hear they're downsizing.
This is amazing. Imagine a factory full of 5,000 oil painters: https://medium.com/message/uber-for-art-forgeries-2c9c8bf41608 (@instapainting, is this how you work too?)
Google is going to start penalizing sites that aren't mobile-friendly. Known sites are mobile-friendly by default: https://withknown.com
Great reply. I agree that employees often drive themselves this way - but I think it often still comes down to company culture. There is a general industry culture of doing this, and putting incentives in place that counteract this is one of the things I'm trying to argue for.
Erin and I actually have a 10am-6pm rule. We do sometimes break this, as you'd expect, but we find it to be productive. I do think working on something that you have a substantial stake in - generating value for yourself - is very different to working for someone else, where you're ultimately generating value for them. Nonetheless, the productivity findings I linked to still stand, so it's a good idea to institute rest, breaks, etc for yourself, too.
