Watched "Shooter" tonight. Much, much, more interesting than expected. I like Fuqua 's direction.

Where could I post an interesting link with a bit of commentary that wasn't limited to 140 characters? Hey, a blog! http://t.co/SNpbihny

Do I know anyone on Twitter with the ability (and willingness) to take a simple line-art logo and convert it to a font file?

@lmorchard I read your tweet but all I heard was MUPPET TRANSFORMERS.

Here @leahculver makes a point, but few iPhone apps stand alone anymore. Most connect to something we have to build. http://t.co/YZ58LRtQ

When I hire a designer they will not be a ninja rock star, who tend to trash hotel rooms and then disappear.

Trent Walton writes about responsive web design in Flexible Foundations:

> If I could go back in time 3 years I'd tell myself that the red jacket is going to make me look like an asshole. Then I'd slap myself and point out that flexible grids and flexible images are great, but ultimately I should be focused on making things truly scalable by thinking twice before I used pixel values in my CSS.

Trent has a great quote from Andy Hume, too:

>If you think about it, responsive layout is not a new thing. Open a simple HTML file in a web browser, and the content automatically adapts to fit the width of that browser. The web is responsive on its own—by default. It's us that's been breaking it all these years by placing content in fixed-width containers.

I don't spend a lot of time these days on the front end, but I'm going to be thinking about this the next time I am.

Can I tell LEGO that I only want VIP emails regarding sets from the Creator, modular building, Architecture, and train series?

This site is now hosted on markbox, my new Dropbox and Markdown blogging platform.

Markbox is running on Google's AppEngine, which is a pretty great platform, even with its warts. All posts are sitting in my Dropbox (in /Apps/markbox/posts/) and template files live in /Apps/markbox/templates.

I can post from Mou, my favorite OS X Markdwn editor, or (as I am now) from within the app itself. It's pretty much my ideal blogging platform right now (it should be, I wrote it :-) ) and I've got even more ideas coming.

@bbum yes, makes sense. Thanks for the rec.

@bbum @GeekAndDad Hey Bill - what welder did you end up getting? I'm looking to start up a home studio in the next few months. MIG at first.
