“Someone needs to let these people know about the upcoming new iPhone.”
– Daring Fireball - “Uncontacted Amazon Tribe Photographed” Gruber has his priorities straight as always.
Ramble On - Lightroom Direct Positive →
A short, interesting and technically informative blog about Lightroom’s “Direct Positive” preset. Feels apt to link this as I’m getting rather fond of Direct Positive.

Six Degrees of Wikipedia →
craig: well done! nosmo: A frankly amazing mapping of Wikipedia done by one of my friends in college whose skills frankly terrify me. This is seriously impressive. They will frighten you, his madskillz.
Jaguar XJS - Vintage Car Ads →
At the same time a fun and sad look at old world car advertising. My mind boggles at British Leyland pushing it’s logo and brand into a Jaguar ad. It’s like putting a VW logo on a Bugatti ad or, more apt and even worse, a Proton logo in a Lotus ad.

An Engineer's Guide To Weight Loss →
marco: By Ted Dziuba, formerly of Uncov. There are a lot of diet guides out there that will bullshit you into thinking that the process is easy. This is a lie. Dieting and exercising suck. This is possibly the most miserable thing you can do to yourself. You are not going to have fun. I want Ted Dziuba to write inspirational books.

Come on Eileen
yourmonkeycalled: Oh no. I just realized that there are no commas in that song’s title. Does it mean something totally different than I thought it did? What kind of sick, proto-Lil Jon shit have I been Stairmastering to for the past 15 years?
Streaming in my pants
mrgan: This is what I want: My iPhone should be able to stream iPod content just like any other iTunes computer. I know this will pain the battery, I know. But I want it anyway, because then I can go to my friends’ house with a movie on my iPhone and say, hey there, wanna watch a movie? Fire up that AppleTV. And within seconds, we’d be watching a movie I brought in and never actually took out of...
Brews to Accessorize the Modern Hipster →
