I forgot just how great this song and video were – until now. This totally brings me back to my teenage years.

The Ultimate Lock Picker – Wired
An invincible lock is almost as real as Santa or The Tooth Fairy. The only difference is, not even kids believe in the lock.

How much work can you do on an iPhone? by InfoWorld: Yahoo! Tech
Interesting article investigating whether or not the iPhone can replace a laptop. It should be pointed out that, while only a moderate success for the author, it was only moderately so because of his specific use cases.
In my use, the iPhone could easily replace 95% of the situations where I need a laptop. In fact, there have been many recent instances where I have plain regretted taking my laptop along. It has sat in my bag while I performed everything I needed on my iPhone. It is now the case where I must make a fairly serious case to myself in choosing to bring it (and grumble silently to myself even then).
In this way, the iPhone has been a real game changer for me. I love my laptop and it is my “principle computer” but more often than not it acts as a desktop computer, not a mobile one.

“Continuing to insist past that point that good manners, thoughtfulness, and grooming oppress you in some way is inappropriate and irritating.
Grow up.”
Great advice for anyone over 25. Please reads and abide by the rules – especially if you think you aready know them.

“What are people doing taking titles like “Social Media Manager?” To me, this is a scary thing. Why? Because it’s like being the fax manager or the email manager. You’re naming yourself after a tool.”
If you are naming yourself after a tool, best check yourself to make sure you are not a tool in the first place.
