Justin Blanton:

The real problem with me is that sometimes I get so engrossed in what I’m doing on the computer that things like those listed above simply slip my mind, often to frustrating ends (e.g., a burnt pizza). In light of this, I wanted a simple and frictionless way to set up reminders for things that needed to be done in the very near future.

I’ve missed the “Run After Delay” feature since the day I switched from Quicksilver to Launchbar. Thanks to Justin, I have (a version of) the feature back, which is good because this feature is the only reason my laundry doesn’t sit half-done in the washing machine for 2 days straight.

Jeffrey Morgenthaler thinks December 5th should be the US’s official “drinking holiday”:

December 5th is the anniversary of the day the United States repealed the Eighteenth Amendment and gave us all the constitutional right to consume alcohol. I’ve been celebrating Repeal Day for years by forcing this information down the throats of my customers, and now I’m forcing it on you.

Since I generally prefer to celebrate my birthday on weekends, and this year’s celebration will fall on Repeal Day, this calls for double the celebrating…right?

The Manhattan Street Corners is my working title for a project to produce a comprehensive photographic portrait of everyday life at street level in daytime Manhattan. Between March and November, 2006, I systematically photographed each and every one of the island’s roughly 11,000 street corners.

Guess that’s roughly 11,000 pictures I’ll have to look through to decide which ones I want prints of. (via Coudal Partners)

Explaining why it’s a “mystery cafe” will ruin the story. (via waxy)

So, if things are so great for the indies, does that mean loads of people are making loads of money? Not at all. But the false notion there is that any musicians were before! We haven’t moved from an age of riches in music to an age of poverty in music. We’ve moved from an age of massive debt and no creative control in music to an age of solvency and creative autonomy. It really is win/win.
