Number of times this weekend I tossed my phone at the couch only to watch the still-firm cushions (you’d think maybe after 4 years they’d have squished a bit, but nooo [which isn’t a real complaint; good couch!]) send said phone flying to crash land on the hardwood floors: 5.

You know it’s been a very long day when the screenshot you just took is “Picture 50.png” (you also know I’m not yet running Snow Leopard, but that’s a separate issue).

And…I would be annoyed and frustrated that the bug I estimated at 10 minutes actually took 2.5 hours, except that in the process of fixing it I got to clean up a whole bunch of crufty business in the stylesheet(s). Woo!

Magic Hour (App Store, $3.99) (hat tip to Dave).
I’ve had this app all of…12 hours and I am 100% smitten with it. Look how well all that information is presented! 4 stages of daylight, current stage, and moon visibility in one bar.
Terribly useful for photographers and flat-out excellent for nerds like me who like knowing which phase the moon’s in at a given time (a secondary info panel shows the upcoming phase dates and moonrise times! eeek).
(Like the Clock app, I add cities I’ve visited and very much want to visit besides my current location. (: )

The company I work for has a mission statement in need of and missing (!) the serial comma.

Snapped— captured? the Emigre homepage for the blockiness and the colour combination. Also: Mr Eaves is aces! Look at that Q!
(It’s a Britishism to drop the period after Mr, Ms, Mrs, etc. right? Anyway, I like it.)

The lesson here, kids, is that underware pretty much always gets it right. (Their Bello is a longtime fave.)

nerd alert.

Reading the Declaration of Independence.

It bothers me that the section title says “A Historic Misquote” and not “An Historic Misquote.”
