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 only has one mouse button.”
I laughed hard for about 15 seconds and then said something along the lines of “go fuck yourself.”

The fun part about this is that it makes my life so much harder.

Generic and slightly witty statement about how I’m looking forward to this film.
Today was apparently cat/chair symmetry day.
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.
Or: My answer to a recent question about adding Tumblr support in Ego is now completely void. Or: Yes, Tumblr support in Ego is coming soon. Or: Happy Friday.
I get this question constantly, but I always responded directly to the asker and have never made a public answer available.
The simple answer is no yes (see update below). I would LOVE to include Tumblr in Ego. I use Tumblr for many projects, and I love the platform. But Tumblr has informed me they have no plans to include statistics (followers, tumblarity, etc) in their API.
I spoke with Marco about this again at SXSW and he confirmed once more they will not offer the API hooks I would need to support Tumblr in Ego. So until that changes, I can’t do it.
Update: Just got an email from Marco, and both follower and post counts are now available in the Tumblr API! So my answer above is now invalid. The new answer is: Yes, soon.
