Eleventh Hour
The new Del The Funky Homosapien comes out tomorrow. However, since I pre-ordered from the label, they sent it early and it just arrived... autographed.
I'm pretty psyched and after listening to the first few songs, it sounds pretty good. Here's hoping a new Deltron 3030 is on the way.

The reasons developers are willing to accept a 70/30 split are simple: convenience and exposure.
Or more likely this: 70/30 a way better rate than a developer will get with any other publisher with the amount of reach of Apple/iTunes. If you thought the developer gets anything close to that for a boxed product in the physical apple store, or wherever people buy software, you’d be very wrong.
goto-minibuffer
I almost posted this yesterday, but I got stuck trying to explain when it's useful. Every example that I came up with seemed to have a perfectly acceptable workaround.
However, after another day of emacs usage, I decided that there are indeed times when you need to move the focus to the minibuffer window. Sometimes that is easier said than done. It's especially hard if you have a lot of windows open in one frame and move around a lot, particularly when you do that in the middle of entering a command in the minibuffer.
I couldn't find anything built in that would do that. So I wrote a tiny function to handle it. Without further ado, here is some elisp to move the focus directly to the minibuffer.
(defun teds-goto-minibuffer () "Move cursor to minibuffer window" (interactive) (select-window (minibuffer-window))) (global-set-key (kbd "C-c m") 'teds-goto-minibuffer)
If you know of a simpler1 way of doing this, please let me know.
1. Hitting control-o a bunch of times doesn't count as simple. We're talking about when you have a bunch of windows open.
… an important feature upgrade as Apple (AAPL) competes head-to-head with Research In Motion’s (RIMM) BlackBerry smartphones, … punishes competing products from Microsoft (MSFT) and Motorola (MOT)
Didn’t we cover this already? It’s the second thing on the list!
Workplace Experiments - (37signals)
Very interesting. The main points:
- Shorter work weeks
- Funding people’s passions
- Descretionary spending accounts

Fleet Foxes - Ragged Wood
This is great. A more acoustic (perhaps folk) version of My Morning Jacket, complete with a wonderful Jim James sounding vocal… which is a good thing.

Complaints
A have a few complaints and suggestions regarding the web, I'd like to list them for you now.
- Please don't make any more products that are "The YouTube of X," YouTube already is the YouTube of X.
- You don't need to put the stock symbol next to company names on your blog. Trust me, if I have trouble finding out what symbol to use when I want to buy Microsoft, Google or Amazon, I'll ask.
- On your podcast, if someone says "nice transition," it is no longer a good transition.
- You shall not resize my browser window.
