Dear Tumblr,
Do you think you could hook us up with some keyboard shortcuts like they have over at ffffound?
Thanks.

Beyond the direct job losses, I’m not sure that this would necessarily be a bad thing.
The mailbox for our apartment is nearly full every day. There’s a trash can helpfully placed in the alcove with everyone’s mailboxes. Every day, I open the mailbox door and shovel all of the crap into the trash can except the 0-2 legitimate envelopes. And, every day, the...

Really?!?! I’m trying to figure out how this works. You don’t work enough to pay income tax, but here’s some money anyway? This I don’t get at all.

One thing you definitely don’t want to do if you’re a budding web entrepreneur is get your site banned from Google. You might as well close up shop if you’re unlucky enough to get caught violating their Terms of Service.

I finally had some phở soup (pronounced “fuh”) yesterday, after 3 years in Portland, which is a little weird, because there is a phở restaurant every two blocks here. I think I avoided it for so long, because right after I got here, my friend was talking about how they put jaw tendons in it and all that. Luckily, the place I went had “beginner” versions. IT WAS GOOD! I would totally...

Cleaning house
marco:
After an inspiring discussion with Marc last week, I finally cleaned out my collection of iPhone apps, deleting about a third of them and ending up with 23.
The big difference this time was that I decided that I’d ignore the price I paid for the app when deciding whether to delete it. Lessons learned:

Tim O’Reilly has a great post today and clarifying his point about working on stuff that matters.
This was my favorite part:.
“I want to remind you that financial success is not the only goal or the only measure of success. It’s easy to get caught up in the heady buzz of making money. You should regard money as fuel for what you really want to do, not as a goal in and of itself. Money...

I considered base jumping a few years ago, and decided against it. It is probably the most dangerous of the extreme sports. In fact, I’m sure it is. But this video gets my heart racing in a good way. At the very least, I’d like to hang around with people like this.
