Someone pass this along to the guys in Austin please? They’re not as bad, but still.

Done Arrival. Meh. Story was predictable; saw it coming miles away.
But it’s also very linear, and considering that one of ME’s hallmarks is your ability to affect the way events unfold, I would’ve liked to see Shepard escape and plot a counter measure rather than be captured if he’d survived the battle for Object Rho. Maybe he can call the Normandy to shuttle in a couple...

Amazing! I have a build of Taptivate’s Friends that actually runs smoothly on an iPhone 3G with iOS 4.2.1, Twitter and all.
It’s tagging incorrect location data to my tweets though.

Just woke up from a dream involving Carla from Scrubs, four lesbians, and Instapaper.
(Insert JD‑esque punch line here.)

Watching F1: 2011 Australian GP
Too bad they don’t stream in HD online yet. Also: more duvets dammit!
I wish Williams had kept Hulkenberg. I want to watch him.
It’s not always as fancy as last year’s, but the BBC has got some much clearer graphics this year.
On the one hand, it’s nice to see the cars go as quickly as they can, but EJ’s right: the DRS is not necessary during qualifying.

Your Emails Are Too Long →
zen habits:
Here’s a rule: a long email is never necessary. Never.
A lot of stuff mentioned here I already do, since I pretty much treat and use email as IM and text messaging; I wish push email will eventually replace those two. Heck, I even eliminate and avoid salutations, valedictions, and the random fluffy pleasantries. I just wish more people would do the same.

One, twenty fucking three five. Six, if you count that last KERS-free run. No KERS. Wow.

I wish I can have the option to not have a Japanese flag dangling off my Tumblr avatar.

So even though every thing was moved over to the new Xbox using the hard drive transfer kit, I still have to re‑download all of my content from the Marketplace after a licence transfer‽ I’d classify that as inconvenient, especially since my download history apparently consists of 433 items.
Every thing still runs when I’m logged in since they were originally downloaded or bought...

Just me, or do all sites involving Windows Live IDs fail to load in Mobile Safari because of too many redirects?

Days like today and weather like today’s just makes me miss Kent and Cranbrook that much more.

Please, Let Me Pay →
Same here. I’d love to pay for Tumblr, even if it’s just a donation or a tip. It’s something I appreciate and love — irrationally perhaps, considering the high error rates these days — and absolutely deserves a slice of my wallet. T‑shirts are nice and all, but I very much doubt they’re anywhere near enough to keep the servers running, let alone pay the team.
Deep down...

I’ve got it! That line — albeit not word-for-word, but close enough — was from Ocean’s Twelve, when Linus’ mom came to pick up the gang and was just wrapping up her questioning, about to leave the room. Can’t explain why I thought it was M’s line though.
Anyway, back to work.

Hang on, Reach is already available via Games on Demand? When did that happen? That’s got to be the quickest a retail 360 title’s made it to Xbox Live Marketplace. I like that.
But £50‽
Fine, anything for you Bungie. But somebody should remind MGS that there’s this thing called ODST as well.

My Vaio UX →
Sebastiaan de With:
The UX is one of the few UMPCs to have gathered a true cult following. A group of people dedicated to modding it have gone as far as to solder in new, faster dual-core CPUs, integrated full 3G HSPA wireless and more crazy upgrades.
It’s like the Cube all over again. Sounds exciting.
UXs on eBay seem to be available for £320–£360 right now.
