Zissou is a very nice color scheme for Sublime Text and Text Mate. By way of @SublimePacakages

Very Funny. Isn’t it fun redesigning an OS without having to worry about the implementation at all?

From Randall Armor on cellphone photography versus classic photography: “You’re an idiot” she said. “And I’m not one of your students, so don’t even start. That’s a cool shot. It’s two-thousand-freaking-thirteen, old man. Who cares how I made it?” This is a great piece. I tend to hate all of these over-processed images. I honestly believe that for the vast majority of photos, the filters are a net negative.

Max Masnick has a great review of moving to FastMail from GMail. I’m moving from, well, a bunch of stuff to one consolidated email account. I like the FastMail search options and web interface. But really, Max sold me. I used Marco’s: http://www.fastmail.fm/?STKI=1335305, which means he made $6. Referral links are just one bonus of using FastMail so far. Here’s my referral link if you want to give me some modest credit: http://www.

Possibly the best incident report of 2013 You have to feel for someone when this is the best part of their night: Hall took his few possessions and moved out of his fiancée’s home and into a tree at Mclaren Park.

Andreas has started a nice little series of MindNode tips. They are short and sweet and very useful. What’s not to like?

Alt is a an alternative interface to NewsBlur. It’s very reminiscent of Google Reader. It’s compact and efficient. I still love the NewsBlur filtering options. I never spent less time reading news than I do now with NewsBlur. That’s a compliment. You can check out Alt for free on their demo page By way of One Thing Well

Chris Brecheen: The real antagonist may have been society, but our personification of it was well cast. He had a sort of Christian Bale look about him, if Christian Bale were playing a role of a douchecanoe. Revisionist memory is always suspect, but I’m telling this story, and I’m going to stand by the fact that I thought he looked like a creepy guy long before he started acting like one.

Digg is back from the brink and better than ever (in my opinion). They’ve done a really good job with the transition to a full service news outlet. The RSS reader is extremely fast. Definitely worth a look if you are in the market for a Google Reader replacement. Digg (yes, that Digg) has released a new RSS Reader for the web, iPhone, and iPad (Android coming soon). The design is sleek and clean, and the apps are speedy and efficient.

I use Backblaze every day. It’s great and does what it should. I’ve restored files that I thought were gone and I’ll never go without it. They didn’t need to sponsor this site for me to recommend them, but it sure is nice that they are. 1 in 2 computer users lose data every year. Back up all your data with Backblaze online backup. It’s unlimited, unthrottled, uncomplicated, and unexpensive.
