Pointage 
Tailor-blogged
| | English Cut is the discreetly professional blog of Thomas Mahon, bespoke Saville Row tailor, London. |
| | In an unrelated post, Hugh goes public as a Kottke micropatron. (You have to follow that link.) A Hugh Clugh: |
| | Rule of thumb with taking-the-plunge-wonderful-insane projects: Figure out the ABSOLUTE MINUMUM amount of money you will need to earn in order to make the project viable. Now divide that number by twelve. That's usally how much you end up making. |
| | Well, start out making, anyway. Ed McCabe, one of the best copywriters who ever lived (and who now lives doing something else), says I have no use for rules. They only rule out the possibility of brilliant exceptions. |
One less
| |  I just learned that Jef Raskin has died. Never met him, but always wanted to. Jef launched and named the Macintosh project at Apple. Dave writes, He struggled to see his vision implemented, and in the end it was a compromise. Raskin wanted computers to be radically simpler, not just evolutionarily simpler. The Macintosh, a project which he started at Apple, morphed when Steve Jobs took it over to become the evolutionary computer it is. Not sure who was right, but Raskin didn't live to see his vision implemented. |
| | Imagine if every Thursday your shoes exploded if you tied them the usual way. This happens to us all the time with computers, and nobody thinks of complaining. |
Oddcasts
| | An xml feed that describes the usage patters of reading XML or RSS information. |
| | All of this is about the second order of magnitude of RSS information routing that's going to occur as people switch over from a Web-based or browser-based model to an RSS reader or consumption pattern. |
| | Important stuff. Especially for those of us whose list of worthy feeds have grown unmanageably large. |
Corpo 
It's about time
Now (don't) hear this
| | Anybody got some pointage to good research on computer (or laptop) fans exacerbating tinnitus? One fan in particular is driving me nuts, and I'd like to address it somehow. |
And the dwarfkeeper is...
| | Not too coincidentally, my nickname in Junior High was Sleepy, because I fell asleep in class all the time. I hated the name so badly that I crossed it out in my yearbook. Now I look back at it fondly, since I still do the same at conferences. |
| | Anyway, seems to me we need a Snow White go go with all these other guys. Given his extrapodcastular preoccupations (and copious wintry imagery), I believe the title should go Mike Dunn (of nomadic_audio) himself. |
