This is pretty incredible. The tweets themselves are linked audio files that Twitter users are then translating and transcribing.
Hearing the people’s voices that are part of this project make everything so incredibly real. Words and pictures don’t do the same justice. The potential to build a site organizing and archiving all of these audio messages and their translations...

No Saving on iPad
While doing “work” on the iPad I’ve come to notice I miss stopping to save my progress. Command + S has become such a natural action I actually find it disruptive when the key command doesn’t do anything.
Saving is a small act of accomplishment. I usually take a moment to breathe, lose focus and look at what I’ve just finished when I save. It’s a nice pause in...
This Week
Girlfriend is out of town, freelance work is pretty much buttoned up, real job is slow, I ain’t got shit to do. I don’t remember the last time I’ve had free time like this.
What should I do? Any thoughts?
Girl Talk
So I’m listening to this old school hip-hop collection I have and I’m anticipating every song breaking out into the Girl Talk song from which it’s been sampled.
It’s pretty crazy that any hip-hop from before 2000 I associate with Girl Talk before anything else. I guess he’s doing to hip-hop what hip-hop did to old funk and soul.
I guess these are the breaks.

Hey Sharks — accompanying the release of our Android update (2.2) is this letter from @skylerslade, our head Android developer:
We’ve received a lot of complaints from HTC EVO users regarding the infamous “Unknown Media Player error.” After a thorough investigation, we’ve identified some of the…

While offering pointed criticism at architects, Mau’s argument applies to anyone in the creative field.

Damn. That’s one hell of a title.
Twitter
I’ve noticed recently that I’m finding more value in Twitter for the conversations and sharing, and not the jokes or performing.
Anyone else notice? Or care?

Dear Christina,
What a sad, sad thing that you can’t be here to see it, but you did something with your life that no politician in yours ever did or could: you unified the United States of America. Today you’re making people think more than speak. And maybe when they’re done thinking, they’ll speak differently. And then maybe after they speak differently others will want to think...

Gaspard Noe’s ‘Enter The Void’
great credits… not so much for the movie… anyone else seen this? thoughts and feelings?
I’ve tried to watch it a few times and can’t get through it. I’m more interested in the idea of the movie than the movie itself.

Truthful Tuesday
I’m working on something I’m really into. So much so, I barely notice the hours passing by.
That’s a sweet feeling.
