An unexpected skeuomorphic vestige
I finally picked up a protective cover for my Kindle Touch whilst at the airport. Doing so revealed a hidden habit I was only faintly aware of: I compulsively use boarding passes as bookmarks. What happens when the need to mark my place goes away?

O HAI.
New friend Rob Muller pointed me to a project that he and his friend cooked up about a year ago. Since today is September 19th, Olde Timey Speke seemed relevant enough to today's a Talk Like A Pirate celebration to share:
It's a preprocessor-driven variant, but it's a bit of fun up on github.

Inspired (once again) by the Ruby community (discussion here), closing nested blocks can be accomplished with repeating 'x' for as many “kthx”s that would be repeated. See the discussion at the above link, and it will be made clear.

Passing husks of old trains outside Carnforth [video]
The variety of trains stored near Carnforth station always struck me for a variety of reasons. I guess these trains have something to do with the long-defunct Steamtown.

So with all the press and love Brent Simmons has been getting…
I thought I would check out the latest version of the ground-breaking NetNewsWire’s latest version. I used it loads in my heaviest blogging years, probably 2004-8, and loved it as most did.
I clicked around for about a minute before my skin crawled. I closed it almost immediately. I just couldn't engage with a pseudo-inbox of “news” to be “managed.” Maybe I never used it correctly, but now I feel permanently changed by Twitter-plus-Instapaper. Let things roll by, dive in when I like, defer things that take more attention.
