I have combed all my server space and hard drive space and backup disks and have managed to pull together almost all the posts that were ever a part of pinkasphalt.com.  The very earliest things I wrote are gone forever, I think. All of 2006 is missing too, but who knows, it may still turn up. It’ll take me a bit of time to get everything in order so in the mean time, please excuse the mess.

Today Danny and I were hanging out in bed and at one point Ben came running down the hall towards us. Danny caught sight of him, flashed one of his whole-face-smiles, made a kind of squealing noise, and started to bounce up and down because HIS BROTHER WAS COMING TO SEE US!

Ben came in the room, jumped onto the bed, and gave Danny a Ben-hug, the kind where he hugs you so tight he grits his teeth together a little bit because he loves you THAT much. Then he kissed Danny on the head and ran off, and poor Danny was left looking a bit sad and wistful. Until he started bouncing again because HIS BROTHER WAS COMING BACK!!

Let’s be honest. Figuring out what adapter to use when you are traveling is a bitch. Do I need Adapter B Plug 6? Or is it Adapter E Plug 11? Well Josh and I worked together and launched a new feature at FLIGHT 001 where you can just type in the country you are traveling to and we will pull the adapter you need. Your life, simplified.

Check it out.

Link: Why you’re never going to see Flash on the iPhone

The only time the lack of Flash on the iPhone upsets me is when an entire website is Flash-based and I can’t see anything. In the rare instances that this happens, I don’t get mad at Apple for not including Flash support, but at moronic web-developers that develop inaccessible sites. I use Flash on our homepage at work, but if you visit our website on your iPhone, you’d never know it.

I guess it’s true that everyone is on Facebook.

There are many issues you could have with the iPad. No multitasking, still no Flash. No camera, no GPS. They all fall away the minute you use it. I cannot emphasise enough this point: “Hold your judgment until you’ve spent five minutes with it”. No YouTube film, no promotional video, no keynote address, no list of features can even hint at the extraordinary feeling you get from actually using and interacting with one of these magical objects.

Could Mr Fry be right?
