http://www.tumblr.com/listen →
[via nostrich]
Tumblr has a great hidden (AFAICT) feature that shows all available audio content on your Dashboard in one neat list. And if you’re following Hipster Tracks like me, you’re getting great music streamed over Tumblr in a Last.fm-esque playlist, perfect for new music away from your own computer.
Awesome.

The Potential of Web Typography →
[via df]
A beautiful demo page for @font-face, which is part of the upcoming CSS3 official spec and available now in Firefox 3.5 and Safari 4.
I have wished for embeddable typefaces and advanced web typography control [1] since Mac OS X brought typeface anti-aliasing into the 21st century, freeing us from the crisp-at-small-sizes but shitty-at-any-size-bigger-than-14pt Windows ClearType.

There, I Fixed It →
A hilarious collection of FAIL Blog-worthy fixes and life-hacks that will make MacGyver proud.
My favorite is the ghetto water heater. It may be redneck, but it’s pretty darn ingenious, if you ask me.

#MichaelBayFact →
@justinmilam: Michael Bay once made an explosion so big it never went out. We now call it the sun.
@tylerdexter: Michael Bay criticized the Big Bang for not being big enough.
Comment on io9:
I always kind of wanted a day of my life filmed by Michael Bay.
Gets up. Bed explodes.
Brushes teeth, spits in sink, sink explodes.
Makes eggs. Stove explodes.
Drives to work. Massive shootout on...

Happy 20th birthday to my lovely sister! You are by far my favorite sister. [The fact that she’s my only sister should be ignored.]

One last thing from Josh Friedman →
Josh Friedman, the creator of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, pens a wonderful last entry on FOX’s TSCC explaining the cancellation without pointing any fingers or stirring any negative sentiments.
What a class act.

WWDC 2009
A favorite time of the year for any Apple fan, WWDC 2009 is currently midway through its five-day schedule of nonstop Mac and iPhone nerdery. The actual conference itself is focused mainly on developers—hence the ‘Developers’ in the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference—and much of it is covered by a non-disclosure agreement, so the only highlight for non-attendees—like yours truly…—is the...

Random thought #2
I was reading past entries on my tumblelog—something everyone should do; I often amaze myself with all the cool stuff I linked to and wrote about—when I realized I have a thing for black-and-white photography. Everything just looks classier and more beautiful in monochrome. Keep an eye out on my newly realized fetish with the new ‘black and white’ tag.
This is entry number two in an ongoing...

I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I’m awake, you know?
