Got Diptic for iOS free today

Love how dead simple it is. It's a keeper.

Triple-nerd score in the "nailed it" column

Predicted Apple might offer email addresses for iPod touch users’ FaceTime accounts (now available through iCloud), that they’d need to offer carriers a concession for FaceTime over mobile (looking to be the case), and that non-iPhone iOS devices would get a separate icon for FaceTime calls. In fairness though, this was all after I said “no FaceTime on iPod touch” (but for reasons that still stand).

Following the "Gold"

While the rest of the Internet was scratching their heads over why Apple changed course on EPEAT certification, I followed the “gold”.

Another pot-stirrer http://tinyurl.com/6uvhsrj

Second post this week drafted this way. (See Tuesday’s Ramble.) Must have something to do with my thoughts coming together while I sleep.

Amazing what I can draft while on the toilet http://tinyurl.com/d7m5t2w

Yeah, I edited it at a keyboard later, but my thoughts on how Microsoft Could Win It All With Surface were 90% drafted on my iPhone while I was keeping my morning appointment. I’m so damn talented.

One pound of metaphoric beef stretched into 5 lbs of meat loaf http://tinyurl.com/bm6nzjb

One partial spec sheet. 437 words. That ain’t bad, right?

Also need to try #vegan @BeyondMeat at Roots Market @consciouscorner

Just learned some Twitter founders are investors (and one is vegan) in Beyond Meat, and Roots Market in MD is on their store list. That’s two road trips for vegan treats on my calendar.

Vegan sandwiches coming to Subway in DC Metro area! Thanks @TryVeg

Got to drive out to Alexandria to try one of Subway’s new vegan sandwiches. Need to make it a success so the local franchises will pick it up. Great work by Compassion Over Killing.

My demotivational mug is fractured. How appropriate.

Huffington Post (@HuffingtonPost) 5/27/12 12:38 AM Naked man shot by police was reportedly chewing off another man's face huff.to/LyKP6a Zombie or not, I'd call that a justified shooting.

A simple way to improve chocolate bar wrapping

Make the wrapper open to the top of the bar instead of the bottom. Helps those who only eat one brick at a time.

Finally cold brewing my coffee...

...and it is strong as hell even cut with soy milk. Must reduce proportion.

Two tales of Lincoln: one is revisionist fiction...

...the other is about him hunting vampires.

Vegan sorbet from thecupcakeladi.com

thecupcakeladi.com didn't have the vegan cupcakes this morning so we had to settle for sorbet.

I find broken iPhones to be strangely beautiful

Don't worry, it's not mine. Thinking about an iPhone skin that looks like this though.

HK with an AK

Last meal before leaving the islands

Was running late so had to stop here on way to airport. Just potato and carrot in curry.

Last breakfast at home

Potatoes & spinach in a cheese-style taro sauce, plus leftover manapua from Legend.

Packing and cataloging my worldly treasures

Didn't finish but trimmed not quite six long boxes of comics to 1.5. Will be listing a lot of eBay in the coming months.

Closing time deals at Shirokiya. So tempting.

Would have eaten two of everything if I wasn't vegan.

Local flavor x2: SPAM flavored macadamia nuts

Ingredient listed as "SPAM brand flavoring". Assuming it's not vegan.

Autobots vs. Decepticons in Honolulu

Star Wars LEGO at... a hair salon?

No explanation. Just a lot of LEGO Star Wars above and around the hair products.

Jollibee at Ala Moana food court

Never seen this place before and not vegan. Just struck me as interesting.

Dim Sum at Legend Vegetarian Restaurant

Will have to return at least 99 more times. Only tried one menu item out of a hundred.

Is it still hoarding if you're selling the stuff?

Ah, Chinatown.

Best pharmacy in Honolulu Chinatown

According to my mom who helps out here part-time.

Just another bright morning at Kailua beach.

...and the food I could not eat tonight.

Had I skipped lunch, my willpower wouldn't have lasted.

The food I could eat tonight...

Plus, my mom made an excellent pot of vegan Portuguese bean soup.

Civilized version of yesterday's #Vegan breakfast

I returned to Morning Brew for a late breakfast. Repeat of what I got yesterday from Kalapawai Market, but with proper dishware.

Yesterday's #Vegan Manapua from Down To Earth

Forgot to share this glorious snack yesterday. Tofu and mushrooms were prepared to mimic the usual chewy insides. So good.

Keeping it #Vegan this morning

Hummus bagel and a soy mocha.

Getting a taste of Sweet Greens (Reston Town Center)

What's old is new again: Tablet PC Vs. Laptop http://tinyurl.com/7qqd55o

Mother f-word. This “article” is so vague it could have been written 7 years ago. My gift of pattern recognition really is a curse with all these rehashed tablet vs. laptop arguments returning to haunt me.

My Creative USB sound card still rocks after 7 years

Last night, I ran optical audio from my Apple TV to my Windows Media PC through a Creative USB sound card (my PC lacks optical input) bought in 2005 for my Tablet PC. Still sounds great. So easy to Airplay music to my living room stereo now.

Five years later and I still love the iSanity http://tinyurl.com/6q6eu9f

“Love 'em or hate 'em, Apple stirs up emotion and gets people talking. I wish they'd hurry up and release a tablet so the mainstreamers can remind us how the form factor is dead yet continues to grow.”

Jesus (Diaz) is a prophet. http://tinyurl.com/y9d3cfz - Read 2nd to last P

I pat myself on the back often enough for nailing predictions, so I thought I’d give someone else a shout-out. The clincher is in the 2^nd to last paragraph where he gives a sequence of events that is currently being fulfilled. Truly insightful.

Multi-angle, 360 degree, suction cup mounted gadget holder. Where have you been all my iPhone-using life?
