ARGH — Augmented Reality Ghost Hunter

Nifty augmented-reality iPhone game. The 3GS’s compass app might have seemed pointless, but opening up these kinds of possibilities makes it worthwhile!

The Herman Miller chair fairy hit up the @SlideInc offices today. My lumbar has never been better supported.

Choose Your Own Adventure books for Kindle

I can barely think of a less-perfect match than “Kindle” and “Choose Your Own Adventure” book. The “Back” button will be priceless!

I think I’m going to need an oversized vat of industrial strength coffee to make it through today.

Just a dreadful day from an in-head perspective. Got no work done. Missed drinks with co-workers and the Pixies concert. Can’t sleep. UGH!

Having a second day of difficulty finding forward gear, which sucks since I’m working on a high-profile project with lots of dependencies.

God, this new ReTweet functionality is inconsistent and confusing. The damage it does to the simplicity of the Twitter mental model is huge.

Thinking that the “Bing” beanie hat I got free from Microsoft today will make a fine “I broke the build” punishment for our team.

A combination of this week's task on noticings and a weak pun. Hurrah!

A choice quote

I was re-reading Robin Sloan's short story Mr Penumbra's Twenty-Four-Hour Book Store on my iPhone last night, and came across this quote again, which I just love.

Since the iPhone Kindle app doesn't allow copy-and-paste (for who knows what sort of dastardly bootlegging would occur should that be permitted), I instead screen-captured the page, then trimmed it in Photoshop Mobile. Suck it, intellectual property overlords!

(Of course, since Robin's story is CC licensed, this is perfectly legal!)
