One of my favorite songs in a super cute delivery. Heartwarming.

Talented Kids Being Talented of the Day: The fifth-graders of the PS22 Chorus strike cute gold yet again with a heart-expanding cover of Pheonix’s “Lisztomania”.

This must be the longest a sure thing has ever had to wait to become a TV show.

[hyst.]

The PS22 Chorus can do no wrong!

So beautiful that it made me tear up a little.

Following the spirit of the Linux desktop, I’m slowly and steadily building a Taskpaper-like app for Gnome.

I’m not their target demographic, but hey, here’s some Skype spam as a tip for all you married people with an adulterous itch to scratch.

It's leaving little things like 1Password for less elegant alternatives (such as LastPass) that makes me sad for not having a Mac at work.

I’m weary of this notion (even when presented as satire) that anyone who can’t master a computer must clearly be mentally retarded. The personal computer of 2010 is hard to understand for novices and people who struggle with abstract concepts. Macs, PCs, all of them. Folks, it’s us, the freaks who understand drive partitioning, regular expressions, virtual disk images, task switching, and shell scripting — we’re the exception.

Count me in among those who can’t stand the vitriol about how dumbed-down the iPad is. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, of course, but the Internet sometimes feels like that “SportsShouting” gag on 30 Rock: everyone has something to say that he/she has clearly thought little about, or that shows how little empathy goes around for people who don’t connect to a DTrace probe whenever they want to know how something works.

It’s ok to want a netbook because you think the control you get is enough to muscle down the wilfull machine. An iPad would probably make you join the flock of all the people who just want to enjoy their experiences and think for once there’s not a lot of setting up and managing minuntiae and worrying about perfect taxonomy. But dismissing something new because it’s different is just incongruent with the openness most smart people claim to have.

Let it be clear that I get why people want to hate it: what the iPad will actually be in the hands of its users is yet to be known. But for all the talk about how tinkering is dead, I personally think it may finally be the computer for those of us that are familiar with the innards of the machine but want to choose how much complexity we wish to deal with at a given time. I don’t want to go down to my Terminal more than I need to (even though I do more than I should), and if Apple’s new thing provides that balance in the long run, it may be the device for me.

Merlin Mann, where are you now?

I can’t stand suffering from hyperlinking syndrome anymore, good golly. If an idea pops up in my head, instead of going for broke I keep trying to refine the tech used to implement it, the words to describe it, the target demographic.

Guess what? All my lovely thoughts remain stillborn. I know a shitload about lots of unimportant stuff, but accumulating knowledge is not getting any closer to achievement. It has GOT to stop.
