Just tuned in to the Grammys. Totally missed red carpet and all that snazz. At least I still got Album and Rap Duo to look for. There really aren’t any strong Album of the Year nominees. My vote would go for Taylor’s Fearless, even though I don’t listen to country much. The Fame and The E.N.D. are annoying dance crap, DMB I’ve never really listened to, and Beyonce just has...

Oh btw, I was talking about literally “leaving Earth”. As in Mars or something, not the kind of “leaving Earth” that gets people worried.

My quick opinion on the iPad →
Oddly enough, I’ve noticed that iSlate.com and iTablet.com are both down while iPad.com is still up (and is not owned by Apple).

Toyota's in a hell lotta trouble →
Because of the stuck gas pedal issue, not only is Toyota undergoing the largest vehicle recall in history, they have temporarily halted sales of the Corolla, Camry, Avalon, Matrix, RAV4, Highlander, Tundra, and Sequoia. Yeah, that’s like everything.

In case you fall into an icy pond..
“Roll away from the hole. Don’t stand up right away. The ice around the hole may be weak, so you want to distribute your weight over as much area as possible. Roll away from the hole or crawl on your belly until you are several feet from the hole. After that, you can crawl on your hands and knees until you are certain you are out of danger. Only then should you stand up.”

Subpixel considerations for AMOLED screens
marco:
The alternating red/blue PenTile subpixel pattern, as described here, interested me when considering AMOLED-specific design tweaks for Instapaper’s text view.
The Nexus One’s AMOLED screen displaying black text on a white background.
Most significantly with OLEDs, power consumption is greatly reduced when displaying black or very dim colors, so a dark layout option is even more...

Then he remembered — he had an app for that.”

How silly is this? I found three different cell phone carriers all by the name of i-wireless. The first one owned by Kroger (the grocery store chain), the second one owned by Cincinnati Bell (think Ma Bell), and the third one an affiliate of T-Mobile. All three of them have some pretty good rates, but I’m surprised they haven’t sued each other to death.

Did you know those crazy jumps and flips from 007 movies and Assassin’s Creed aren’t just anonymous moves made for show? They actually exist as a hobby, with specific names for all the moves. If I had free time and free space I would love to practice this.

Little upset with tumblr.
icodeforlove:
They still have the activity page down… Which broke tumblrstats, they will probably be making their own system that’s just like the one I made. For the time being I fixed it so it can still track posts, and followers.
Large sites like this should not be killing a feature for weeks to release a updated version. The development process doesn’t work like that.
use it while it lasts:...

First-person Tetris →
The game will hold you for only a few minutes, but I loved it for its presentation.
Cool! They also got rid of Tumblarity and added some messaging thing (ask me anything). And I got a Haiti ribbon.

I guess I might’ve been a little busy or something since I didn’t come on Tumblr for weeks. I’ll just do a little recap on what I was up to this whole time (not much). And I’ll resume my normal schedule of visiting Tumblr a dozen times a day and wasting time.

Why do I not come on Tumblr anymore?! I don’t hate this place, I promise. Why do I procrastinate something I like?
