John's Tumblr: Computers = Trucks →
lilly:
A couple of years ago at D8, Steve Jobs said on stage something like this: computers as we know them won’t go away, but they won’t be used nearly as much. They’ll be like trucks: most people don’t drive around in them all the time, but they’ll use them for special purposes, to get particular types…

Idea: mobile group shopping list
Mobile app where a person creates a shopping list and invites others to contribute items via SMS or app.
Example: Mom creates grocery list. Son and daughter receive invite text telling them about list. Son replies back to text with “chocolate milk”. Daughter downloads app where she sees others most requested items. She chooses pineapple. Mom is alerted of both requests and opens app to review. ...

Eminem: 'Not Afraid' To Make Amends →
hitchcock:
I must be getting pretty lame these days — I’m learning about new Eminem singles from NPR. On Eminem’s new single Not Afraid, he drops the following verse:
“Let’s be honest / That last Relapse CD was ‘ehh’ / Perhaps I ran those accents into the ground.”
Yes, yes you did run those accents into the ground. It wasn’t cool. I’m glad you realized this.
I don’t think...

Create vs Consume
Lately I’ve been thinking about how much I create vs consume things in my spare time. What is the ratio? How often do I write a poem vs watch Hulu? How would my life be different if I tried to consume less, and make more stuff?

Digging for Substance
Last night my friend Tim K and I went digging for vinyl records at Dusty Groove. I’ve collected vinyl for a while, and Tim is just getting started.
I don’t want to debate the sonic properties of vinyl vs digital, but rather examine the listening experience. I feel like I listen to vinyl records, where mp3s play in the background. Note the active vs passive nature for the listener....
