Twitter for iPad
Just downloaded the first version of Twitter for iPad (iTunes link) and trying it out. On first glance, love the clean, properly-sized UI. Try pinch/zoom on a tweet to see more info. Pinch again to close. Swipe down with two fingers to see a thread. The “write a tweet” view overlaps a bit much for my […]
Real-time Attribution
I was working on a blog post tonight and wanted to attribute a person as the source. Normally, I would just link their name to their site/blog if they had one, which would then alert them by email if they had a Google search alert on their name or URL, or it would show up […]

Purging Drafts Into Pico Posts
Ever since I started using Twitter, Tumblr, and Stikkit, it seems I haven’t been able to finish a blog post.
