Edge of Tomorrow: Awesome. Groundhog Day in action movie form. Definitely a sleeper, but I enjoyed it way more than any movie I’ve watched in recent memory.

X-Men (2014): A disappointing follow up to First Class. It’s slow, lumbering, and suffers from being back in the hands of Bryan Singer. His X-Men movies only look good compared to the crappy super-hero movies that came before.

Listening to ATP and couldn’t disagree more with Marco’s feelings about humor in the Apple presentations. It’s goofy and dumb, but isn’t having an event to unveil new gadgets goofy and dumb? I like it.

Clearing out my email inbox is such a rare moment of satisfaction.

Nothing beats Beethoven’s 9th when it comes to focusing on something.

Upon reflection, I think my snippets do need their own URLs.

Getting ready for a day of meetings and fun with Mighty in the Midwest at UICA.

I’m recording a video tour of my snippets feed.

I wrote a blog post about a great book I recently finished, Blood and Thunder by Hampton Sides.

Note to self and other web designers/developers. OS X’s lack of visible scroll thumbs in browsers can blind you to the fact that, on other OSs, people rely on them for wayfinding. So be careful using overflow-style: none.

Great writeup on McCullough’s biography of John Adams. My reaction was very similar when I read it.

Instapaper’s text to speech feature is my new favorite thing. I hope it comes to the web app soon. I had previously created an automator action that did something similar.

I watched first couple the Star Wars Rebels episodes. They’re available on iTunes if you don’t have Cable. They were fantastic and really captured the feeling of the original trilogy.

I wrote a blog post about the process I use for organizing files while I design things for screens.

Finished a great book, Blood & Thunder, last night. Very excited about writing something about it soon.

After listening to the latest Up Up Down Down I finally tried Threes. Send help, I might be here a while.

Prefab homes seemed cool for other people who aren’t me until I saw this.

Every new trailer just gets me more excited for Interstellar.
