How to get someone already in a relationship but who you love to fall in love with you using a made-up time travel story:
Step Eight: When she asks you what’s happened you should ignore her questions. Instead you must act confused and ask the date. If it’s September 15th she will say ‘September 15th’ to which you must reply ‘No, what year is it?’
This is genius. (via kottke)
Ego 1.3.3
After many days of waiting, version 1.3.3 of Ego is now available in the app store. This update includes a new yesterday view for Google Analytics widgets by popular demand.
There’s also a new version of the Mint Ego Helper Pepper, which you should upgrade to at your earliest convenience.
Go get it already why don’t you?

Shure SE310-K Mini-Review
The SE310-Ks sound pretty good—let’s get that out of the way immediately. While their bass is stronger than other pairs, it’s not nearly as strong as the V-Modas, but it’s clean bass. On a whole the sound is pretty good, although a little muted in places.
These earbuds require the cord loops over your ear, which doesn’t bother me, except in this case they aren’t quite the right shape for the cord to stay over my ears. When walking the cord kept falling off. Additionally, the cord system for the Shure headphones is a little intense—it’s a one-foot cord with a plug which you then plug into an extension (in this case I’m using the Shure MPA-3C adaptor which adds a microphone and remote), which is less than ideal.
The sound is good but not the best I’ve heard and the cord and fit isn’t quite perfect. For $190 (plus $30 for the iPhone adaptor), I would prefer the cording was better and stayed on my ears. Verdict? Returned.
Note: I’m trying to find a suitable pair of in-ear headphones to replace two broken pairs of V-Moda Vibe Duos. This is an ongoing series of mini-reviews in which I make clear to the world that I will never, ever find what I want.
MacFormat Gives Ego 4.5 Stars
There was a brief review of Ego in the June issue of MacFormat magazine, in which the app was rated 4.5 out of 5 stars. Their verdict on the app was short and sweet (and true!).
That’s now two Mac magazines who have given the app near-perfect reviews. If you’re not using Ego, you should be.
