Fountain: A markup language for screenwriting →
I’ve wanted something like Fountain for years. It reminds me of the TextMate bundle Oliver Taylor wrote back in the day, only this time it’s not a single-app hack, it’s a true, Markdown-esque formatting syntax for writing screenplays. And because it’s only a syntax, it can be used my any application in the future to render correctly-formatted scripts on the fly, while...

Monday Night
Me: Would you rather... read all of the Harry Potter books, back to back... or eat a Subway Philly Cheesesteak three times a day every day for two weeks?
Stacey: Oh god. Harry Potter. Can I eat just one per day?
Me: No, you have to eat three. Just three cheesesteaks and water, nothing else. Two weeks.
Stacey: Yeah, Harry Potter.
Me: Okay. Would you rather eat Subway Philly Cheesesteaks three times a day for two weeks or... drink a cup of urine?
Stacey: Urine.
Me: But you don't know whose urine it is. The only guarantee is that it's human and disease-free.
Stacey: Urine.
Me: But it could be some dirty old homeless man's urine!
Stacey: Yeah but it's disease free... oh, god. Ugh. Is that Harry Potter offer still on the table?
Me: No.
Stacey: Just as well, I think I'd still choose the urine.

powerllama asked: Did you bring your CR-Z with you to LA? How are you liking it after owning it for a while? I'm looking into getting a small hybrid myself, and everything is just too big. I don't need 4 doors. I want something as small and economical as possible. What kind of gas mileage do you get? I'm excited to see how the Prius C turns out this year, seeing as it'll get somewhere around...

Jawbone UP Review
Here’s the TL/DR version: Don’t buy this piece of shit. It doesn’t work, it will fail, and the software is terrible. Jawbone is still selling them even though they know they’re all future bricks. Don’t buy one. Feel free to read on if you’d like the nitty-gritty details.
Update: Jawbone recently sent out a letter from their CEO offering a rebate policy for all...

Matt Gemmell: Latest Version →
Terrific post by Matt Gemmell regarding supporting latest-only versions of iOS. He makes some solid arguments for why you should, including this one about “better customers”:
I think that there’s a correlation between the kind of people who keep their OS updated, and those who are willing to actually pay for software. I don’t have any data to back that up, but it makes sense that...

Anonymous asked: I currently do a small bit of iOS and Android contract work on the side. I really enjoy it since what I'm working on changes somewhat frequently and I have more control over how I work. I'll be graduating from college in the spring and would like to do contract work full time. Any tips other then simply meeting people and creating great work for clients?

Forever's Not So Long →
At some point over the past week, our short film passed the 500,000 plays mark at Vimeo. That’s absolutely amazing. We were blown away by the initial reaction to the film (awards, hundreds of amazing comments and emails), but the fact that we still receive messages from viewers every day is just plain fantastic. We can’t thank you all enough for the support and for telling your friends...

Fixed Two Bugs
Bill Griesau: I fixed two bugs that were a really big pain in the ass.
Bill Griesau: That I knew were there, and I was hoping they'd go away on their own.
Bill Griesau: I thought if I ignored them they'd leave me alone, like bees.
Me: That's my favorite kind of bug fixing.

Anonymous asked: Jawbone Up review? Looks like you had a blast in Seattle, and your wife is adorable like kittens on YouTube, but get back to work. And by 'work' I don't mean Karbon, but the other thing where you provide me with free advice on products and/or services. Thanks, Murray.

Fliers Still Must Turn Off Devices, but It's Not... →
Nick Bilton for the New York Times’ Bits blog:
Nevertheless, Les Dorr, a spokesman for the F.A.A., said the agency would rather err on the side of caution when it comes to digital devices on planes. He cited a 2006 study by the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics, a nonprofit group that tests and reports on technical travel and communications issues. The group was asked by the...
