Blueprint version what? →
Ever since we moved Blueprint to Github, the version number has been a bit of a problem. Git uses hashes to represent versions, which makes absolutely no sense to me but seems to be one of those…
8tracks: Love & Romance →
Another 8tracks mix: Love & Romance. This is my most “ambitious” mix to date, since the 9 songs tell a story when played in order (and since 8tracks randomizes playback after the first time, you…
WatchMy latest 8tracks mix: Love & Romance. It is very important to listen to this in order, as this one actually tells a story. So, I guess, it’s never as good as the first time.
Also, dear Tumblr: either make some sort of integration with sites like 8tracks and imeem that feature embeddable players, or make the video-player-toggle in the dashboard height-aware. What do you guys even do...
On post-delete reviews →
marco:
iPhone OS 2.2’s rate-on-delete dialog has destroyed my averages. And if you look at many of the greatest apps in the store, you’ll find the same problems: despite many credible, positive reviews, many excellent apps have mediocre or poor star-averages and increasing numbers of completely invalid one-star reviews.
Facebook has recently implemented the review-on-delete form for...

HADOPI Law →
The HADOPI law is creating an entity which is named HADOPI and which will punish [Internet piracy] with a 3-strike measures: e-mail, mail, disconnection from Internet. In the version of the 9 April, the ones who are disconnected would be forced to continue paying their Internet bill for up to two years.
Double dose: my new game & my new mix →
I’ll have more in-depth posts soon, but in the meantime, check out my latest game, Battle City, a fighting-adventure RPG, and my latest mix, Recent French Electro.

WatchRecent French Electro, my third 8tracks mix. If only I could actually “mix” songs like these, the transitions do not do the set justice.
Dear Tumblr
I would like mytumblraddress.com/likes to show a paged display of my likes, within my theme, so that I can add another tab to my theme navigation and people can see the stuff I’ve liked lately. I think this is useful because, whereas I might reblog a post to add to it or give it more attention among my friends, I “like” as a way to simply bookmark a post / show thanks the the...
In Warrantless Wiretapping Case, Obama DOJ's New... →
dstrelau:
Again, the gulf between Candidate Obama and President Obama is striking. As a candidate, Obama ran promising a new era of government transparency and accountability, an end to the Bush DOJ’s radical theories of executive power, and reform of the PATRIOT Act. But, this week, Obama’s own Department Of Justice has argued that, under the PATRIOT Act, the government shall be entirely...

The dark side of Dubai →
inky:
Dubai was meant to be a Middle-Eastern Shangri-La, a glittering monument to Arab enterprise and western capitalism. But as hard times arrive in the city state that rose from the desert sands, an uglier story is emerging.
This is a long but worthwhile read. To call it eye-opening would be an understatement. Here’s just a fraction of it:
