@nmyra or better yet, nothing at all. in reply to nmyra #
for some reason, developing iOS apps using tools like PhoneGap disgusts me; such a half-assed approach, giving way to a half-assed app. #
maybe it's my architecture background coming out: truth in materials, truth in form, truth in function. quality should never be compromised. #
@friskygeek and we all had to suffer b/c they didn't take the time to learn the right tools, or were too damn cheap. pathetic approach. in reply to friskygeek #
@nmyra and don't give me the mobile version on an iPad, which is more than capable of displaying a fully functional site. learn proper UX. in reply to nmyra #
preordered adobe CS6 creative cloud last week expecting to gain access today when released, now date changed to may 11th. huh? #
principles of user interface design: http://t.co/f67GeP8P #
so many things wrong w/minnesota starting w/the state government; glad to be departing soon. #
@IIIThreat later this year, thankfully. in reply to IIIThreat #
ok, i think we can all stop posting our foursquare checkins on twitter, especially if no photo or comment of any substance associated with. #
going on 10am and still the only one in the office, which means i must have missed that memo. #
gay rights by state: http://t.co/11zEAAeB #
native vs shell apps: http://t.co/JLkIbz2W #
"If you plan to write an app for iOS or Android, you will save time and create a better product if you stick to ObjC and Java respectively." #
"Evaluated against native apps, shell apps have inconsistencies that make them feel wrong, even if the user can’t articulate the problem." #
@totalflake at times i get that same feeling. in reply to totalflake #
the argument in favor of native apps vs HTML shells is far more about user experience and expectation than overall aesthetic. #
illustrator is still no good for pixel-perfect screen design: http://t.co/gVLy3X6A #
sportbikes over everything: http://t.co/yNhwPSee #
this country has become so polarized that the only logical solution is for it to split into two: the intelligent and the ignorant. #
@kerusdotorg it clearly doesn't happen as frequently as it needs to then. in reply to kerusdotorg #
"be humble about your talent, but a̶r̶r̶o̶g̶a̶n̶t̶ uncompromising about your beliefs." – @zeldman #
grogginess ensues. #
although the sliding weather view is decent, the new @accuweather ipad app is pretty bad overall: inconsistent design, horrid usability. #
overall it feels pretty clunky and a little too inspired by weather channel's recent ipad app update. #
mixed feelings about obama's announcement; while promising i fear it will only lead to more resentment towards gays and extreme polarization #
the issue in this country is far more complex than same sex marriage, and is getting worse. #
@slackluster http://t.co/S7Afq3IL in reply to slackluster #
how github made their octicons: https://t.co/XA4j7pOg #
is it so difficult to find someone to run this country that is consistent? #
what a joke. HP design exec claims they didn't copy apple w/their ultrabook design: http://t.co/PhtX8ncD #
claims "form follows function" was their reasoning for copying apple.
um, yeah ok. #
though w/design, everything's a remix. once a design is done, it always looks obvious in retrospect and difficult to innovate away from. #
kicking off the morning w/a photoshop lockup and crash combo is usually a sign of how the day will progress, even if it is expected. #
@Ottertron mix of serif and sans-serif font, curvilinear elements and box radii feel all over the place, inconsistent button styles. in reply to Ottertron #
@Ottertron the loading/ad view after the long press gesture on the map for currents at that location needs to go, feels like a major UX bug. in reply to Ottertron #
@Ottertron def like the drag view for changing fcst periods, but the circular element makes it feel like it should depict sun/moon pos. in reply to Ottertron #
@Ottertron transition btwn periods could be smoother, maybe fade btwn icons and don't update background until press gesture ends, then fade. in reply to Ottertron #
@Ottertron no prob. definitely a lot of good things going on in the app, just tightening everything up more will make it considerably better in reply to Ottertron #
now @facebook copies apple by launching their own "app center" as if we give a damn about facebook apps to begin with. #
@jlarsen76 good post. ppl mistake being with someone as spending time together, yet they really aren't at all (phone, tv, computer, etc). in reply to jlarsen76 #
@jlarsen76 so many things wrong w/this excessively connected society and inability to truly live instead of being consumed by distractions. in reply to jlarsen76 #
@subimage a seemingly endless cycle. in reply to subimage #
yes, it's that kind of morning. http://t.co/Pg3298dg #
those who argue in favor of web/shell apps instead of native only do so b/c they don't know how to creative a native app nor understand it. #
@jcroft totally agreed. in reply to jcroft #
does Hansen not realize most of us in touch with reality know his global warming claims are full of shit? http://t.co/ZYhDHVC8 #
not to mention nothing he predicted a decade ago regarding the climate has actually taken place now. #
so freakin' good! http://t.co/lViEscQZ #
@jasonbritton such an amazing machine. so much love in reply to jasonbritton #
installing adobe CS6 creative cloud. expecting several beach balls to appear during this process. #
squids should not be allowed to ride ducati superbikes. shameful. #
this is why you don't waste you time or money developing for the android platform: http://t.co/66omvBho #
@repponen i don't get it either. in reply to repponen #

@nmyra we totally need those! do they come in packs of two like most owl stuff? in reply to nmyra #
RIM tries to come back from the grave by doing what everyone else does, just copy apple. a little too late: http://t.co/6g0tFZi6 #bb10 #
appreciate someone who admits they don't know what's going to happen more than someone who speculates based on false data or agendas. #
to be a real designer, one must be an observer and critic of everything. #
although not really a new issue, apple is rejecting apps using the dropbox sdk b/c it allows creating/upgrading accounts. #

some of the best nights are bike nights, simply feeds my sportbike obsession more and more w/each instance. #

@totalflake yet they can't seem to fix the fucking memory problem. ridic. in reply to totalflake #
mentally checked out for the day before even getting into the office. #ugh #
we're not unhappy, we're designers: http://t.co/ZUcOjUN2 #
"what sets a designer apart from a ponderer, is the will to affect change, to create, and to make better." #
"our discontent is the basis for wanting to improve the things we observe."
exactly. #

@drewm i can't seem to leave TM either after having tried sublime, chocolat and coda. TM2 is nice, though has some quirks to get used to. in reply to drewm #
amazing how AGW proponents ignore very late season snow events like the east just had in favor of heat waves that play nice w/their theory. #
adobe cs6 is one of the rare recent upgrades that seem to be worthy of the money. the subscription-based model sounds decent also. #
this looks pretty sweet… codea for ipad lets you create any kind of visual you want: http://t.co/EFL7g6Yz #
not sure why we're wasting billions on AGW when overpopulation is the real problem, yet no one cares b/c there's no money to be made. #

@joestump yeah, IE. in reply to joestump #

OH: "i like black, period. i'm racial like that." #
why the climate debate is completely broken: http://t.co/WDy6poP9 #
sad thing is proponents of AGW personally attack skeptics rather than logically debate in public, yet they still provide NO factual evidence #
as the article points out, the only reason it seems as if weather is more severe recently is simply b/c the media reports it as such. #
the problem w/the media? that perception becomes the truth for many ppl, thus greatly skewing what they consider reality. #
the facts: there has been NO upward trend in tornadoes or hurricanes as media wants you to think http://t.co/4jdhtVf5 http://t.co/d1Xo71UC #

great. as expected the wunderground global warming propaganda machine is totally eating up the recent warm spell across north america. lies. #
yet they fail to report on the record cold upper levels, the below normal global temps all season or near normal ice extent. not a shock. #

most things of meaning take considerable time, but building trust takes the longest of them all. #
provide someone with a foundation, and they expect you to develop all of it for them. um, no. #
well, as if we didn't see this one coming; @google sees the popularity of something apple releases and decides to copy: http://t.co/nKUAOwBl #
oddly enough, @google harps their "assistant" will be open to developers. but i'm sure iOS 6 will open up siri to developers before then. #
apple is hardly concerned about @google's half-ass attempts at competing b/c they're just that: half-assed. they never follow through. #
case in point: google+, google music, android. oh, and all of these, http://t.co/0pVOIY4S #
in other news, apple must release ipad 3 and new apple tv with siri support to stay in the game on wednesday, unless they have bigger plans. #

um, this guy clearly doesn't get it. no one really cares about specs when buying a tablet; design is why apple leads: http://t.co/ZAIiRA3D #
in other words, the masses don't give a damn about camera size or processor speed. usability and ease of use is priority. #
@chad_wilson nor is apple interested in geeky specs, only things that matter. simplicity. in reply to chad_wilson #
love the days where things decide to suddenly stop working. and i have to figure out the reason. and fix. #

@IIIThreat ha! the icons should also change to include sad or concerned faces. in reply to IIIThreat #
stoked about the apple event today, hoping they live up to all of the latest rumors. #
so my 4-year twitter bday is approaching on the 23rd. my goal: hit 10k tweets exactly that morning. #
having haptic/tactile feedback on the new ipad would be amazing, definitely putting all other tablet makers to shame. hopefully it's true… #
@bbrooks definitely! though looks like we all may be waiting a few weeks based on reports of limited availability. in reply to bbrooks #
getting the feeling today will be rather unproductive work-wise, especially w/the apple event later this morning. #
woot, here we go! #
retina display on new ipad! #
@jakemarsh agreed. in reply to jakemarsh #
OH: "i'm kind of jazzing in my pants." #
hoping for a "one more thing" feature… haptic surface? #
@jcroft feeling the same way, there's something they're leaving for the very end. in reply to jcroft #
new ipad live on the apple site: http://t.co/l1ZYZcbq. glad they're dropping the annoying version numbers. #
@jcroft working fine for me as well. in reply to jcroft #
@jcroft there are a few others that appear broken for me though: http://t.co/D4qOHKqy in reply to jcroft #
sunny and near 60-degrees yesterday. today, 35 degrees and cloudy/rainy.
mother nature has a cruel sense of humor. #
so is there a benefit to pre-ordering the new ipad versus waiting for availability in stores? #
@jpoh yeah remember that, but for some reason thought there was a similar issue even for those who pre-ordered. guess not. in reply to jpoh #
successfully accomplished all i had set out to accomplish today: pre-ordered an ipad. #
wisdom comes from vigorously questioning, not from blindly accepting. #
so before an apple event, everyone is excited about the rumors. then afterwards, those same ppl are disappointed the same rumors were true? #
these ppl are f*n ridiculous. what, do they want the next apple product to live for them too? #unrealistic #
not to mention them getting upset over the form factor not changing any each iteration. why change what isn't broken, just perfect. #
under the hood, the 3rd gen ipad is completely different than ipad2. feature changes come more from iOS updates, not necessarily the device. #
it's fucking snowing. #ugh #
@nmyra and i'm not there to take care of you. in reply to nmyra #
regarding apple not using google maps in iPhoto on iOS, here's a look at their rendered maps: http://t.co/eSXUT9qr #
have to say i'm definitely not a fan of their aesthetic, looks way too old and lacking compared to google maps. hopefully not the direction. #
@jdlathrop hopefully not lying around the apt wasting life away. in reply to jdlathrop #
@jdlathrop eww. if you're truly motivated, there are far better things to do w/your time. lol in reply to jdlathrop #
@jlarsen76 def much worse here, though fortunately you don't get to experience the hellish winter lol. in reply to jlarsen76 #
summer is calling. #
the older i get, the less certain life becomes. #
great article on why apple's competitors are and will continue to be unsuccessful at beating the ipad: http://t.co/QQc9xPGl #
none of apple's competitors can even come close to offering other tablets w/the same specs as the ipad and at the same prices w/o a loss. #
it's the ipod effect all over again, which "still represented a whopping 78 percent of the market share in music players" 10 years later. #
@iA read from twitter-linked article yesterday that apple actually confirmed that the name is just "iPad", not "the new iPad". in reply to iA #
@bbrooks all the critics who are discounting the 3rd gen ipad as boring are clearly creating their own distortion reality field. in reply to bbrooks #
apple dropping the version number from the name is irrelevant, no device has ever had it on the case to begin with: http://t.co/kfsWoUte #
