Bird singing dubstep!
Just my bird Harvey dropping some fat beats. Sorry about the poor cropping filmed this on a phone. EDIT: Just for all concerned we have never played dubstep to him i just beat boxed around the house and he picked it up. There was no initial intention of teaching him this.

Improve iOS Screenshots with Status Magic
Improve iOS Screenshots with Status Magic
Status Magic is not a “mainstream” app: you’ll only need it if you care about quality and precision in your iOS screenshots. I write about a lot of apps on a daily basis. For these apps, I take screenshots, which, when it comes to iPhone apps, are automatically resized and combined with a Keyboard Maestro

The El Camino of Computing
I have to admit I was rather charmed watching a demo of Microsoft’s Windows 8 tablet. I bounce back and forth between my iPad and MacBook Pro quite often during the day, so merging the two into a single device looked appealing. After a few minutes daydreaming about the unification of iOS and OSX, it struck me that I don’t want an El Camino.

For me, the amount of email that arrives is inversely proportionate to my amount of free time. This means the less time I have to read mail, the more mail that arrives. Greater minds than mine have attempted to tackle this unfortunate time management situation, so I'm going to keep it simple. You an

Todd Akin and the Anti-Science House Science Committee
Todd Akin and the Anti-Science House Science Committee
Aside from the sheer biological ludicrousness of Todd Akin's ideas on female physiology, one unsettling subplot to the debacle is his presence on the House of Committee on Science, Space and Technology. That's right: A man who, to put it gently, ignores what science tells us about how babies are made, helps shape the future of science in America.

The Only Earthling With a Facebook 'Dislike' Button
About 15 years ago, Chuck Rossi became what’s known in Silicon Valley as a release engineer. This is the person tasked with gathering up all the code written by a company’s many engineers and making sure it works together as a whole. Rossi coordinates the process for looking over code for bugs, chatting with engineers about their work and deciding which new features are ready to get baked into a particular version of a product.
