- Want a year of Popular Science magazine (the tree corpse version) for $5? Amazon has a bunch of cheap mag subs today: http://bit.ly/80oqJB #
- Heh. Looks like I cost a few of you $15 with that post about the Monoprice iPhone battery. Hope you like it – it's a great piece of kit.
# - Wanna hear a secret? I used a new iPhone app, TrueHDR, to make the photo in my Monoprice battery post: http://bit.ly/6KkquO #
- @gregleff yes, magazines and news printed on tree corpses are very 1998. in reply to gregleff #
- You know, the touch scrolling of the new Apple Magic Mouse is like, um, magic for scrubbing around video clips in iMovie. #

Monoprice.com (source of dirt cheap cables – seriously, don’t pay full price for cables. I have no affiliation with them, other than a happy customer) has had a $15 external 2200mAh iPhone/iPod battery for a while now. I’ve seen it, and kind of steered clear of it, because I was uncertain of the quality. But then I saw a couple of reviews (at TUAW and Minimal Mac) that were happy with it, so I took the plunge. I also picked up two iPod cables, two USB AC adapters, and 2 12V car USB adapters in the same order. The total price was about $23.
- Should be in bed. Instead I'm in a hotel room with a lime Creamslush from Sonic that I really must finish. #

- Woot! Tweetie 2.1 for iPhone is out with Lists, Retweeting, Geotagging, and more. Yay! http://twitpic.com/ribu8 http://twitpic.com/ribub #

- Home sweet home, after a great weekend with family in Springfield. Nice to be back, but I don't wanna go back to work yet! #

- Cool! Tweetie 2.1 fills in the gaps in my tweet stream when I press the clearly indicated gap. Thank you @atebits. /via @tokerud (me: nice!) #
The post title almost says it all. I’ve been waiting for this update to hit the App Store ever since Twitter started deploying these new features widely. Now it’s here – go get it from the App Store (free update if you already have Tweetie 2 – the absolute best $2.99 you can spend otherwise).
Huge thanks to Loren “@atebits” Brichter for single handedly raising the bar for developers and users everywhere. You rock!
I brought my Rubik’s 360 puzzle with me to the Thanksgiving Festivities, for people to noodle on. I haven’t solved it yet, nor have I resorted to Googling ways to do it.
But this morning, my ten year old nephew Jayden solved it – got all six colored balls out of the concentric spheres and into the corresponding domes. Nice job, Jayden!
(And yes, he’s wearing a Gnomedex t-shirt I gave him.
I told him I’d give him something cool if he did it, and now I have to decide what. A harder puzzle, perhaps? I’m thinking something like a Perplexus…
