The Other Drummer

Don’t cry. I know you’ve been missing me. But you shouldn’t be here anymore. You should be here. And you should be subscribed to this.

Come. I miss you. Let’s talk again. I have candy.

Update your bookmarks and RSS feeds accordingly. Thanks.

Totally digging this. Even if they don’t completely get rid of the Home Button, this is still monumentally awesome.

Honestly, I’ve hated the Home Button for while. It’s great to only have one physical navigation button to worry about but at the same time I always feel like I’m going to break the thing if I use it too much – not that you have any choice because it’s the only button.

And no matter which phone I use, mine always seems to lack that satisfying “click” that everyone else seems to have on their iPhones/iPads. (Pout)

These gestures will make multitasking seem much more legit and awesome and shiny and good.

I’m so getting an iPad 2.

Ugh. Groupon. Please. I’m about ready to unsubscribe. In the last month I’ve received deals on the following:

• Photofacials (whatever those are)
• Heavenly Hands Massage
• Laser Hair Removal
• Luxury Dental or Skin Spa Package
• Mani-Pedi
• Spa Services
• Salon and Spa
• Hair services (which seems creepy to me for some reason)
• Spray tanning
• Jazzercise
• Propulsion Pilates

A full third of their offers from last month were selling ways to make women look better. Or, in other words, they don’t apply to me.

Shut up. I know laser hair removal applies to me.

I understand that your offers won’t always be a perfect fit, but cramming so many similar offers finto such a tight timeframe tells me you don’t care about your users: just take the money and send out the offer.

Then again, if I were a stressed out woman with peaky white skin and a mustache who needed to lose a few pounds I’d be loving Groupon right about now.

Yes, the “blizzard of the century” amounted to little more than a couple inches of snow and some chilly temperatures. But c’mon people! It’s not like the news has ever blown things out of proportion and gotten everybody riled up over nothing just to bolster ratings, pageviews and circulation.

Well, if there’s one thing we’ve all learned from this shared experience is that the next time the news says some catastrophe is on its way we’ll all know not to bother preparing.
