Sergey Chikuyonok has created a beautiful Ambilight video effect with HTML5 and Canvas.

Amazing ambient lighting behind an HTML5 video player (using a canvas): bit.ly/cV2trs

Do you like me, hate cancer, or both? Pay money to a bunch of little kids and I'll shave my head: bit.ly/bSBS0F

They have this charity event called “St. Baldrick’s.” It’s an event where a bunch of people collect money for kids with cancer and then shave their heads in solidarity with those kids.

Do you like me? Or do you dislike cancer? Or do you just want to support me getting a haircut? Please donate money.

Would you like to really donate money? I’ll shave it off for the right price. What’s the right price?

The reason people blindly follow pitchfork? They're so often so right. The new Titus Andronicus is amazing: bit.ly/aHcGGf

I just got my first sales information from selling my album a few months ago. I sold 32 songs and 56 songs were streamed by the end of the first month (I’m not sure how many days that includes).

I made $22.96.

I consider it a smashing success.

If you’re interested, it’s available in most digital stores. Including iTunes and Lala.

I’ve posted about this before, but it’s still strange. So I’m posting it again.

All of these users, clearly fake, are following me, the staff blog, and nothing else. They have no posts or anything like that.

Anybody else getting this?

Custom order, yo!

How awesome is this color combo going to be on a toddler (with a huge head)?!

The lady started knitting using t-shirts a while ago. Now she’s accepting shirts in the mail, making things out of them, and sending them back. Etsy is cool.

Wow, I'm really missing out at SXSW... an actual tweet I just got: "I'm at P.F. Chang's w/ 19 others." #whoisatchevys?

6 stages of debugging: 1) can't happen 2) doesn't repro 3) shouldn't happen 4) why is that happening? 5) I see! 6) How did that ever work?

Coming Soon

These days, when I see a list of features that are coming soon, I see a list of features that don't exist yet.

So instead of "look at all this awesome stuff that's coming," I see, "look at all this awesome stuff you can't do."

(Same applies for my projects).

My heart (and what little common sense I possess) is telling me to simplify my focus and it has always been my policy to listen to my heart.

The @betaworks crew (@arctictony and all) read @therealtimebook and suddenly they have a huge investment. Coincidence? nyti.ms/bdpYaq

Often hopping out of coffins, steady rocking while you’re rotting

Perhaps the greatest guest appearance ever? Percee-P (on the previous) track would have an argument with that, but still. Solid track all around.

No Other Distribution Authorized Under this Agreement

rentzsch:

Apple’s iPhone Developer Program License Agreement:

7.3 No Other Distribution Authorized Under this Agreement
Except for the distribution of freely available Licensed Applications and the distribution of Applications for use on Registered Devices as set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 above, no other distribution of programs or applications developed using the Apple Software is authorized or permitted hereunder. In the absence of a separate agreement with Apple, You agree not to distribute Your Application to third parties via other distribution methods or to enable or permit others to do so.

Diabolical.

Apple’s developer tools license mandates use of their distribution channel.

Because, you know, Cydia is such a threat to Apple’s business model.

Imagine if gcc’s license required your resulting executables run solely on Linux.

Imagine if Google required hosting your web apps on solely App Engine if you used Closure.

I hope section 7.3 comes back to bite Apple during their Department of Justice investigation.
