I love this post for its funhouse mirror effect: what Greg describes as dreary and uninspiring is what I, in contrast, find invigorating (also: EOD is back! yay!)

Why does the MTA need an RFP and a special service? All they have to do is create a Twitter account for a responsible head-office assistant. New Yorkers can sign up for it and get alerts as they happen.

I remember reading this article when it came out. Good stuff. (Linking to this blog post for the great Michael Sippey comment)

Fascinating back-and-forth about unwanted mass mail. While I sympathize, I can’t help but think Chris is wrong in his tactics; he has basically stooped to the flacks’ level, which, as some of the comments point out, solves nothing

Cancel Computer, Daring Fireball. First I wanted to blog this post for one fantastic quote: “To be trustworthy is to do what you say you will do; to do whatever someone else wishes you to do is to be obsequious.”
Then I got an even better, if more irreverent, one: “It’s hard to work the concept of a ‘software update’ into a cow analogy, but here goes: You willingly purchase a cow, which, the purveyor of said cow makes explicitly clear, is intended only to be used to produce milk. You buy it and figure out a way to make cheese. Two months later the purveyor of the cow offers you a pill, free of charge, which, if administered to the cow, will result in slightly better-tasting milk, but which pill comes with a stern and plainly worded warning that, if administered to a cow that had been used to produce cheese (which, recall, was made clear from the outset the cow was not intended for), the pill might kill the cow, and that, even if it doesn’t kill the cow, will prevent all previously known cheese-making hacks from working. Further….”
Great pull quotes aside, it’s a nice bit of analysis, too, and John Gruber is the wisest (if unapologetically biased) Apple observer around. So we’ll just link to the whole post.
