Okay, I love Apple and I love Philly, but this is madness.

This game can’t come soon enough.

So sad.

I’m not a Scott Pilgrim fan, but this looks crazy fun.

Yowza.

Great review of a deluxe reissue of one of the best records of the 90s.

I love this so, so much.

I haven’t tried the Wired iPad app yet, but my nodding-in-agreement bordered on headbanging when I read this:

Let’s make this clear once and for all: at the current surface and resolution of the iPad, multi column layouts for long screen texts are sentimental nonsense.

Such an awesome idea!

Accustomed as I am to be being in the minority as a commuter cyclist, I’m not sure how I would adapt if the ratio flipped. This video is magical nonetheless.

Lest anyone be unconvinced that the concept of intellectual property is fucked beyond repair.

Lest anyone be curious about this film, I can attest that this review is spot-on.

This is great. I have long been aware that sitting down to write has always helped me clarify my thoughts on most anything. It is my best weapon against my poor reading retention and digital-age short attention span. But there’s lots to know and understand and I don’t have time to be regurgitating everything I experience in my own prose. Cue the text playlist.

Very, very insightful.

Am I alone in thinking that anyone who considers Marlboro's F1 bar code trick "genius" is far too easily impressed? bit.ly/903omR

Yes, please.

And it’s not even my birthday yet.

Congrats to @vpieters on the launch of her beautiful new site redesign! veerle.duoh.com

Pretty neat trick.

I am such a sucker for this stuff.

Oh man.

Just finished @adactio's forthcoming HTML5 for Web Designers from @abookapart. Unsurprisingly, it is excellent. books.alistapart.com

I’m bummed I won’t be around in 100 years to see how the 22nd century equivalent of Chris Ware uses the Shanghai World Expo 2010 as a backdrop for some heartbreaking narrative.

I strongly agree with almost everything in here.

I share this only to semi-publicly air my shame.

Of the officially 1 million people that now possess this game on this platform, I am currently ranked 148. This achievement is due to considerable skill, yes, and that skill was accrued over the more than 17 full days (dude, 420 hours, dude) I spent playing over the course of about 7 months. That works out to roughly 11% of my waking hours during that time… See more →

Ingenious and beautiful.

This is light on actual information, but for any UI folks interested in how shit happens here, these slides give you a glimpse into the process.

Awesome. I’m thinking about making a screen saver for myself inspired by this.

I’m getting pretty tired of this stuff. This comment says it all.

I have to admit that I’m more intrigued by these concept videos than I am by the iPad. Gruber makes a good point about MS vaporware, though, so I’ll believe it when I see it. I hope I do see it, though. I would probably get one of these.

Kaboom!
