Pretty cool letter from Ernest Hemingway to his parents while he was driving an ambulance in Italy during WWI: I wouldn’t mind being wounded again so much because I know just what it is like. And you can only suffer so much, you know, and it does give you an awfully satisfactory feeling to be [...]
If you have an iPhone you owe it to yourself (and me) to report Spam SMS/MMS messages. Until I read the write up over at TidBits I had no idea how to do so but now I’m all over it. It’s pretty simple and if we work together maybe we can rid the world of [...]
645 PRO is now available in the app store. This new camera app replacement is unique because it creates “dRAW” data files that you can process like RAW images you get from DSLR’s and higher end point and shoot cameras. I confess that I don’t know all that much about RAW images as I don’t [...]

I’ve had it 3 days now and it’s just wonderful. Does anyone have [...]
The Macalope: If you disagree with Crothers, well, then you’re a “fanboi.” The Macalope has never really understood the “fanboi” variant. Is the idea that you’re like a fanboy, but Frencher? Or are these people just that bad at spelling? The Macalope Weekly Special Edition: Fools of the Year
