why apple succeeds? their users identify with their products, something pc nor android users do with their own, nor ever have. #
i'm not a bitter person, but having to deal with people's bullshit definitely makes me so. #
@CrucialMemory your website is running insanely slooooowwww… #
macbook is a lot slower w/lion, so finally doubling my memory from @CrucialMemory. #

not much different than apple, amazon wants to lock you in: http://t.co/0RnuTNQY #
was going to check out @mixel, but the fact that it requires a FB account just to use is a major turn-off and flaw. ridiculous. #
anytime you require me to signup for a third-party account just to use your own product leads me to believe you benefit from that somehow. #

what good is developing in java for these days anyway? case in point: android. #
steve jobs was right for not supporting adobe flash afterall, @adobe focusing efforts on html5 instead: http://t.co/SiGVUUpL #
apple confirms they have no plans to support siri on older devices: http://t.co/MEfq9toX #

going deep, the way nature intended. @friskyradio #
having privilege and why it's important to understand what that really means: http://t.co/8KAXzO0q #

@jrgamlieli knowing you own isn't the issue, it's knowing others… and trusting them. in reply to jrgamlieli #
yet another apple copycat, this time the asus zenbook copies the macbook air: http://t.co/821hJSzY #
why do ppl make such a big deal about the date (i.e. 11/11/11)? can't wait until we move beyond 2012 just to be done with it… completely. #
you know it's friday when you just stare off into space waiting for the first sign that your coffee has finally kicked in. #
finding comfort in knowing that if i ever feel the need to be pissed off, i can always count on photoshop to be there for me. #
yawn. more lies: http://t.co/64jSVkVD. yes, there has been warming. no, humans aren't to blame, nor is it dangerous warming by any means. #
these are the same ppl who said a decade ago there would be more hurricanes and more severe tropical seasons. lately it's quite the opposite #
a stat you won't see mentioned by the AGW fanatics: october was the 15th coolest october since 1979 (cold pacific): http://t.co/0KdBCEEC #

the weather used to be one of the few sources of excitement while living in minnesota, but lately even that's been eliminated completely. #
"there was [a] capacity for wonderment, the artist’s belief in the ideal, the still more beautiful later." http://t.co/Wk0QFvRP #
since bush changed our DST state/end dates, we no longer fall in line w/rest of the world; can we eliminate such stupid-ass laws already? #
@F_i you guys should open an office in seattle. #
way too much inspiration. way too little time. #
milking the riding season as long as i can http://t.co/OWEpIlaL #
@ijustine though not nearly as bad as the hell that is la guardia. in reply to ijustine #
always ensure you're working for yourself, never for the man. #
morning of computer fail, guess it's been a while since they all demanded my attention… #
AGW fanatics can't just look at surface temps; mid-level temps now nearing record cooling: http://t.co/woDWnyJB #
finally, the more we stand up against corrupt corporations, the more we control them instead of them controlling us: http://t.co/Dn2wqkDx #
so far today, i'm about 1 for 15 w/computers.
fuck. technology. #
if you want to know what happens when a group of developers try their hand at design, just visit the new gmail and google reader. #
more lies: http://t.co/A9vPpupL. the wild weather lately is a direct result of the negative PDO and a cooling atmosphere, not AGW. #
weather extremes come from a cooling atmosphere, not from endlessly warming temperatures everywhere. #bullshit #
although sunny, riding the motorcycle in 40-degree weather doesn't have quite the same effect as a mild 70-degree day. http://t.co/Ub4tKM2Z #
"pacific cooling, mid and upper levels of atmosphere cooling. only in a world of denial does warming cause cooling." (via @BigJoeBastardi) #
"there is no evidence that climate is changing dangerously or faster than in the past, when it changed naturally." http://t.co/t9qY5342 #
so what’s the incentive for scientists to exaggerate climate change? money. http://t.co/t9qY5342 #
as predicted, today is quite the struggle. #

@nmyra same here, though no vacation for me anytime soon unfortunately. a snowboarding trip would be awesome in reply to nmyra #
there's nothing a pot of coffee can't fix. #
why apple gets it: "focus on good design and you will make the product more usable by default." http://t.co/Ez102adj #
geeky, but awesome: logos in css http://t.co/Ft1kL2Wz (via @yocline) #
you can always depend on my brutal honesty, which doesn't mean i can depend on your ability to take it. #
it's snowing in texas, before it even comes close to it here in minnesota?! #wtf #
why android will ultimately fail, a must-see visualization of android fragmentation: http://t.co/YhWKIH3I #
regarding my previous tweet about the failure of android, just look at how google handles most everything they launch. abandoned over time. #
um, yeah b/c microsoft products speak nothing but innovation and forward-thinking: http://t.co/2qqQZvXm #joke #

probably more irritated that i just lost two months of workout data due to an iphone backup/restore clusterfuck and no versioning in icloud. #
so i guess there was AGW in 1958 too? note how current arctic temps aren't far from 1958's warmth: http://t.co/ExcLE9GB #
iphone 4s sales top 4 million in three days! http://t.co/0RfjkzQP #
the monotony of this everyday routine is killing my spirit! missing the days of working from home… #
the problem with android: http://t.co/G773JgOG #
"the overall android experience is lacking compared to the cohesiveness of ios. there seems to be no common 'language' when designing apps." #
as a developer, finding it rather accurate and amusing that most of these contain profanity: http://t.co/6v2vsMcW #
yet another case of apple leads, everyone else follows: http://t.co/Ob9cEe8E #
the worst thing about releasing a new service/product: writing the documentation. #aeris #
@DavidHughMartin can't wait to see the finished product! in reply to DavidHughMartin #
in the end, the people will prevail. not government. #occupy #
@jcroft i've seen them in the grass at the pike/i-5 overpass before, grazing away. odd. in reply to jcroft #
uninspired people are uninspiring. #
here we go. again. #
finally mentally prepared for snow and a bitter cold winter ahead, and also snowboarding again! however, not prepared for even worse traffic #
OH: "milk it baby!" #

recommending these liveblogs for the apple event: http://t.co/r4KRpTUw http://t.co/PMeaF3bl #
damn, i love apple and all, but these apple freaks are a bunch of whiny bitches, crying about no iphone5 yet. #
we all forget that w/o apple, all of these other competitor mobile devices would be nothing (b/c they would have no one to copy). #
the new voice control on iphone is great and advanced, but needs to be pretty damn flawless to be better than touch interaction. #
why apple is better? they push us to accept more natural ways of human-computer interaction. everyone else = mouse + kb. #siri #
if an ugly and inconsistent UI and shitty usability is what you want, please go to android. #
don't get ppl's reactions… so no iphone5 w/new form. aside from a slightly larger screen, don't all android devices look the same anyway? #
regarding no iphone5, "why change it if it works fine?" (via @hwlee). agreed. hardware + software are more important than overall form now. #
"the iPhone 4S is a significantly different device under the hood" http://t.co/7SnIdGyV #
plus, why would apple release an iphone 5 that doesn't support 4G? that likely comes next year. #

checking out the gradient app beta by @jumpzero, nice tool for quickly generating css gradients quickly: http://t.co/7yo56Myg #
a life saturated by distractions (internet, computers, phones) loses its capacity to wonder. #
@peterlombardi haha, nice pouting face. in reply to peterlombardi #
amazon takes inspiration from apple: "if you are just building a device you are unlikely to succeed." http://t.co/VNYvInpJ #
so facebook now sends email notifications to let you know you have notifications pending. auto-opt-in. stop, just fucking stop! #
@padbury haha, looks like a seal. in reply to padbury #
these walls only get stronger. #
nothing beats a backroad motorcycle ride on a cool, crisp fall morning.
well, maybe hitting high speeds on a motorcycle does. #
the closest thing to perfection i've ever come across, @DucatiUSA: http://t.co/sOpmZdF1 #
whoever said gym workouts are supposed to give you more energy was clearly lying. and not working out all that hard. #rundown #

twitter weekly updates for 2011-09-25

By {ns} | September 25, 2011

the older i get, the more unsure of everything i become. #truth #
enjoying the very seattle-like weather today. http://t.co/v1FCCCfY #
glad to see my motherland (texas) finally getting a break from the heat along w/some rain. definitely well-deserved. #
@chad_wilson wtf. is that xmas stuff out at target already?! in reply to chad_wilson #
@chad_wilson ugh, someone seriously needs to. in reply to chad_wilson #
was a more pleasant person when i worked from home and didn't have a daily commute, dealing w/idiot drivers everyday. #
really loving @testflightapp for pushing out and tracking iOS adhoc builds to testers! #
total awesomeness, @ijustine! http://t.co/AMwbOPCM #
ppl only brag about the number of emails they receive in order to make themselves sound and feel important. truth is, most are likely spam. #
same goes for number of hours worked, which doesn't necessarily mean you're overworked, just inefficient and unproductive. #
haha, they make 100 mph on a sportbike sound outrageous, yet 100+ is pretty common http://t.co/BUFioRT8 #
"global warming" was supposed to mean snowless winters for ski resorts. yet, it's already snowed in alps and whistler: http://t.co/yeKWt2H9 #
less arctic ice releases more heat from oceans into space. oceans are cooling more rapidly, now causing global cooling. ice rebuilds after. #
@AI_AGW yeah only b/c 1970-2000 was a period of prominent el nino cycles; la nina cycles are becoming more prominent now w/-PDO. try again. in reply to AI_AGW #
pure hotness: @DucatiUSA 1199 panigale http://t.co/2or4bS6h #
glad to see yet another update (where FB copies twitter) causing outrage amongst facebook users. only means more ppl flee. and FB dies. #
facebook is evolving the way myspace had at the end of its lifespan, except this time it's more for companies than music/bands. #
@rig0 haha yeah wasn't quite sure what was going on… figured your account was hacked or something. lol in reply to rig0 #
@simplySportBike when it looks like the snow is here to stay for the season. in reply to simplySportBike #
is it me, or does this f8 stream remind you of some type of after-school special? or mtv blunder? http://t.co/W1jn6BjF #ridiculous #joke #
a well-lived, fulfilling life cannot be represented as data. nor should it. #
@mike_dawson fb is already heading down the road myspace went down, except more for companies than bands/music. ppl r bored w/it. in reply to mike_dawson #
@mike_dawson but based on your tweets you're a huge fan of the network, so your argument is inherently biased. what's the usefulness of it? in reply to mike_dawson #
@mike_dawson how is organizing my life's events into this timeline view going to prove beneficial to me, other than some superficial desire? in reply to mike_dawson #
@mike_dawson private is one thing, sharing w/rest of the world is another. have we all become so self-absorbed to think ppl want to know? in reply to mike_dawson #
@mike_dawson fb was at its prime years ago when it stuck w/what it did best: photo sharing and messaging. now it's a total clusterfuck. in reply to mike_dawson #
@mike_dawson yes, but only when ppl *ask* to see those albums rather than "here, look at my life, isn't it amazing" in reply to mike_dawson #
@mike_dawson perhaps i see things differently, preferring to discover on my own rather than having it shoved in my face all the time. in reply to mike_dawson #
@mike_dawson but i disagree w/the one-stop-shop approach fb is taking on, which leads to half-ass solutions across everything (i.e. google). in reply to mike_dawson #
@mike_dawson i'm not sharing is beneficial in many cases, but the majority of fb users use it only as a means to hide behind a virtual self. in reply to mike_dawson #
@mike_dawson errr.. "i'm not saying sharing…" lol in reply to mike_dawson #
officially checked out for the day. unfortunately it's only mental at this point. #
OH: "uncircumcised penises look like they’re wearing little hoodies." #
struggling. #
disturbingly true that "on the road to high and glorious things, [america] let go of decency." http://t.co/rmyOmgAR #
@weatherchannel "snowmageddon", overly hyped snow storms. in reply to weatherchannel #
@StevensBikePark wish i were there today! in reply to StevensBikePark #
