I really like Firefox 4’s new App Tabs. I have about six tabs open regularly that I can reduce into these little nuggets now. Makes things a lot cleaner.
Also, I can’t see how many new tweets or Tumblr posts have popped up since I last checked. That’s good for the ol’ attention span.

So you’ve got a new product in the works. Maybe it’s still an idea, maybe it’s in development, maybe it’s two weeks from being shipped out the door. When taking an idea from a thought to completion one question always stands out in my mind: When do I start to build hype?

Just came across this on Flickr’s blog. Gorgeous shot.
From season 1 of “The Wire.” I love this scene. Classic television.
(NSFW Language) Old school Bunk & McNulty just because.
I was told about this promo Amazon is running. It’s too good not to share.
If you’ve got a .edu email address from your college or university, Amazon is giving away a free year of Amazon Prime to students who sign up. It’ll get you free two-day shipping on anything.
My Reading List got a nice write up today on iPadDaily.com:
Sometimes less is more and this app really proves that point. It fills a great need for readers of lots of books that want to make even better use of their iPad.
Apple just approved My Reading List 1.1. Now add up to 99 books to your reading list. The title field now auto-selects when the popover is activated as well.

LeBron James’s announcement yesterday was one of those events that really made me put who I am and what I do in perspective. It was like the time in astronomy that I learned that the universe was huge and expanding at a rate that I couldn’t even comprehend.
Yesterday made me realize that if I added up all of the attention that I get in my lifetime, all of the hugs and kisses, phone calls and high fives, all of the emails or attention from friends, nothing will ever equal the amount of attention that LeBron James got leading up to that dumb announcement.
Well, shit.
This is great. The Onion can do no wrong.

My talk from Ignite Boulder just went up. It’s on Accelerated Learning and why you should find and take advantage of smart people.
Thank you to everyone who voted for me to speak in front of 1400+ people. It was an incredible experience!
Ignite Denver 7 is coming up later this month and I’d love to be on that stage in Denver! My talk is called “Everything I know I learned from ‘The Wire.’” It’s about me growing up in Baltimore, watching The Wire and the somewhat unorthodox lessons the characters of The Wire had to teach.
A YouTube video will be posted after the event so you can see how your vote turned out.
A big thanks to everyone who voted for me to speak at Ignite Boulder 11! It was a blast speaking in front of 1400+ people. That video should be coming online this week (Hopefully. One of the organizers puts them up.)
The Gaslight Anthem - 1930 (Cover)
I don’t know who this girl is but she does a damn good cover of The Gaslight Anthem’s “1930.” I’m seeing those crazy guys in 19 days. It’ll be good to catch up.
By the way, for those missing this blog. I’m back. For real.
