WHYWHYWHY
Me: For some reason, I almost just Twittered this: "What's it called when you try to fart and blood comes out? Oh, right, a blood fart."
Me: That randomly just popped into my head.
Me: WHYWHYWHY
Shawn Morrison: You really should have.
Shawn Morrison: But someone would have responded, "Actually, I have hemorrhoids and it's a serious medical issue. Not funny."
Me: People are always trying to ruin my jokes.
Shawn Morrison: Wait, what is the term for the fart where glitter comes out?
Me: Fancy fart.
Shawn Morrison: Thanks.
Shawn Morrison: Writing a letter to my mother. Good timing.

Sticky Sidebar with Scrolling
A few people have asked me how I made the sidebar of my site stick around when scrolling the page. Normally, that’s just a fixed position setting, but I also needed it to scroll initially and then stay after a certain vertical region of the page was reached. To accomplish this, I use Javascript to detect scrolling and change the position of the sidebar depending on where you’ve...

Dream House
Last night I had a vivid dream about an apartment. It was in a large city, but I’m not sure which one. It’s this city I’m frequently visiting in my dreams. I have a lot of dream stuff like that—I have a city, this mall I’m always at, random houses and parks. They’re usually the same, but they only exist in my dreams.
So I was walking down the street and I...

Computers
Someone at a bar last weekend said to me, after asking for software advice, “I refuse to use a crApple.”
I asked why—ignoring the “crApple” bit—which I shouldn’t have done, because when someone says something that ridiculous it isn’t worth talking more about their computer habits. But I’m a glutton for punishment. He said, “Because it...

Never Limit Yourself
Shawn Morrison: First, but hopefully not last time I ever name a Photoshop layer "Palm Trees and Sausages".
Me: I hope so too.
Me: You should just start doing that regardless of the content.
Shawn Morrison: It's true, why limit myself?
Me: As I always say, Never Limit Yourself™
Me: Also, Always Eat Beans™
Shawn Morrison: God you do always say that.
Shawn Morrison: At the very least stop telling woman that during sex.
Me: Beans are so healthy!!!!

atebits: An Amazing Ride →
I’m happy to say that as of today Twitter is the proud owner of Tweetie—and I’m joining their mobile team and starting work on turning Tweetie.app into Twitter.app, for iPhone and iPad.
Wow. Congrats to Loren. Tweetie is definitely the best Twitter client (on both Mac and iPhone), and now Twitter owns it… can only imagine it getting even better.

Inaugural iPad Post From iPad About iPad
Yeah, so I’m writing this from the future. Okay, not the actual future, as in a year greater in number than 2010, but the “future” the iPad has created. It’s pretty nice here. There’s an app for making orange juice and also one for committing hands-free revenge killings.
The keyboard is surprisingly decent. I was able to quickly type up a ransom note without too...

MorrisonFilm: THE MAGIC PAD →
Shawn wrote the post I wish I had written about the iPad this morning:
It’s really not hard. It’s a 10 inch flat screen where magic happens. Get it? Of course you do. So go fucking buy one. Stop taking everything so damn seriously. It’s just an amazingly cool computer. Don’t you like amazingly cool computers? Stop wringing your hands about platforms and publishing industries and openness. You...

Sounds Like
Stranger on Phone: Hello, is [sounds like "Ashley"] Smalls there?
Me: I'm sorry, who are you trying to reach?
Stranger on Phone: [Sounds like "Ashley"] Sims, please.
Me: Are you saying "Ashley Sims"?
Stranger on Phone: No, [sounds like "Ashley"] Simpson.
Me: Still can't quite understand who you're looking for. Are you saying "Ashley Simpson"?
Stranger on Phone: No. Sir, I'm looking for [sounds like "Ash"] Sellers.
Me: Oh, "Ash Sellers"?
Stranger on Phone: NO. NO. Please. Listen, I'm looking for Nash Lee Simmons. N-A-S-H.
Me: Sorry, there's no Nash at this number.
Stranger on Phone: Is there an Ash Simmons? A-S-H?
Me: No, no Ash either.
Stranger on Phone: Why did you ask so many times if I wanted Ashley then?
Me: I was just trying to make sure I knew exactly what you needed. Have a good day!
Stranger on Phone: Okay. I guess.
