Three years? I didn’t know I had a blog at tumblr for that long.
Albert Guerard in his This I Believe essay.

The duo met and formed in 2008, when Miller was waiting tables on Alexis and her mother in a diner. Miller mentioned he was looking for a female vocalist to work on a musical project with, which Alexis’ mother immediately volunteered her for.

I already liked this, but it was funny enough that I had to reblog it.
-Slaughterhouse 90210 on how they come up with the quotes to pair with the various TV screencaps on their blog.

I saw this post on Hacker News today about an iPhone developer waiting on Apple to approve his latest app. The first App he created was rejected by Apple after eight months, so he is a bit unsure of what to expect with his newest creation (a Boy Scout merit badge app).
I clicked around to see what other entries were on his blog and saw that he has only posted five entries. The timeline they describe is an interesting snapshot of his life as an iPhone developer:
Seeing the arc of excitement, pride, anguish, disappointment, and finally a sense of tentative excitement laid out like that was really interesting. I admire his desire to stick to the path he started out on. I wouldn’t have much desire to do another app if Apple didn’t bother to get back to me within eight months.
This was mentioned in a recent posting on Mark Pilgrim’s blog.
I’m so glad we have wikipedia to catalog ideas like this.
An example of a snowclone is “gray is the new black”, a version of the template “X is the new Y”. X and Y may be replaced with different words or phrases – for example, “comedy is the new rock ‘n’ roll”. Both the generic formula and the new phrases produced from it are called “snowclones”.
This reminds me of what life is like at home.
