“A retweet with the #Egypt hashtag won’t do anything to help those in the conflict. You’ll feel a lot better, true. And maybe, some geeks will have a moment of pleasure seeing the whole internet looking at them.”
I was thinking the exact same things while watching a recent news bit on the sad situation in Egypt. I wonder how long it’ll be before the “hashtag protests” see the same fate as the “mail-chain-forward” revolution.
I’m sitting in a cab on my way to work and trying out the Writer app by iA. Wow! I’m actually enjoying this.
I’m thinking, if I start doing this it might help me keep my blog posts short and to the point (I’ve realized I always get bored if I go back and read my own posts). I’m not sure if this will work, but it does appeal to me. Also trying to see how posting to word press via email works.
(I make blogging too complicated for myself. Waiting for Roberto’s post on his workflow to take notes.)
It’s been 3 months since I landed in Singapore and more than anything else, I’ve loved the company of the folks who hang out at HackerspaceSG. Last Saturday we got together for a GeekCamp Singapore—and it was great. Taking a slight divergence from Web Design/Development, this time I focussed my entire talk on usability and usability feedback mechanisms. I’ve updated my slides with the relevant links (do let me know if I missed anything ) and you can now download them from here.
I had a great time and I hope everyone else did too!
“In another ruling, the Copyright Office approved the circumvention of copy-control technology on DVDs, but only in such limited circumstances as educational use, documentary filmmaking and making other types of noncommercial videos.”
Yes, jailbreaking phones is now legal. But the above ruling is much more interesting to me. However, I am not able to figure out if this applies to the music/audio content on the DVD’s as well? It will be interesting to see how this effects Youtube/Facebook service.
So, it does sound that the “The Grey Video” is good to go, but what about the “The Grey Album“?
(Thanks @stephanfeb for pointer to the awesome album!)
