Of second versions and dead horses

20 de November, 2007

Just the other day I tweeted, asking what 2.0 has ever done for you. And Steve Rhode (Bless him, he is the reason I really got into Twitter, it’s too bad his money advice doesn’t really apply to me. I’m a poor student, I just try to not spend money I don’t have!) replied saying [...]

Super Mario Galaxy or Mass Effect Test Results?

8 de November, 2007

The people have spoken. Mass Effect it is. Or perhaps I could just get both? It is perhaps dangerous to let the internet make decisions for me. Cool little interesting fact, Bioware is defrauding internet polls, destroying whatever little legitimacy they had:

Phase: My new casual game addiction

8 de November, 2007

Phase came out of nowhere yesterday. I saw it mentioned in the release notes for iTunes 7.5 and my interest was somewhat piqued. When I learned that Harmonix developed it.

GMail recently flipped the bit that enabled IMAP support. It’s the best that thing that has ever happened to my e-mail. No longer am I on the road thinking “Oh no, I can’t open that e-mail, because that means Mail.app won’t download it and I need it to remind me of something”. I can add GMail [...]

Google Reader

9 de October, 2007

I’ve recently started using Google Reader instead of NetNewsWire. Mainly because I wanted to be able to check my feeds from several locations without having to read the same items again when I got home. Also having the little “x Items Unread” badge in the dock was a huge distraction, begging me to read them [...]
