I wanted to play the Doodle Jump tie-in for Hop (2011), so I rebuilt the old App Store. Then I needed something to run it on, so I emulated an iPod.
Both free and open source. Links below.

While waiting for X to get updated for the iPhone Duo I made myself a quick client for it that sorta takes advantage of some of the nice folding it does and screen size

“You’re a 51 year old guy... you’re not trained to share everything with everybody [...] The first time I read that Tree had listened and journaled about our day, that was emotional, it was giving my story value.”
Grateful to Steve (and to Tree!) for sharing their story with us.
i like the part in Magic – BoB where he goes “a ha ha” in a very matter of fact tone. not laughing really just a show of confidence. hubris even

Your post inspired me to build CityWhen: citywhen.allsbai.com/
Pick a city + stay dates to check overlapping conferences, festivals and sports events, with source links. Free, no signup. It uses a selected event calendar and doesn't track hotel prices. Would love your take.
finally, a mac mini with panel gaps

All credit to @paularambles for the excellent frame here… this is something we think a lot about at Tolan. I wrote more about it here: xitter.cf/quintendf/status/20908…
You should be nice to your toaster. Not for the toaster’s sake. For yours.
Quinten Farmer (@quintendf), Tolan CEO, on how he hopes people end up treating their AI:
“You can show simple gratitude and respect for even everyday objects. And it’s actually almost a little corrosive to our soul to not do so.”
“There are many religious traditions, Shintoism, even Catholicism, that venerate certain objects. They create space for us to show spiritual respect toward entities that are not alive.”
“We are not imparting religious valence to them, but we still treat them respectfully, thoughtfully, as we should with anything that is an important part of our lives.”
Credit for the framing goes to his colleague @paularambles: you can be nice to your toaster.
when I was younger, I didn’t understand why I would need a credit card since I wasn’t planning on using credit. but it was explained to me that the price of using a credit card is already baked into most things that you buy, so you might as well just reap the scraps of benefits.
