Trent Reznor’s new band “How to Destroy Angels” – done by a dude with an acoustic guitar late at night

It seems like trying to type on a flat screen has got some disadvantages.  Almost like the laptop form factor was designed for a reason.  There are lots of ideas for how to position your iPad for typing friendliness – Lifehacker even features a photo of an iPad user employing their cat as an iPad stand. I think another approach might be to reconsider the keyboard.  the device still looks to me like a lot of people will be holding it from the corners of the bezel when they are holding it (sadly I don’t own one, but would like to) – and if this assumption is correct, then maybe...

Just tweeted about this as one of my fave summer drinks today in response to @thehypercube’s Question of the day.  Totally tasty – and you can try your own variants. Ingredients: 7 cups Water 2 cups white sugar 2 cups water 4 tea bags (black or orange pekoe) 1 12 oz can frozen orange juice thawed 2-3 cups of rum or brandy (or vodka or gin) Mix: Ginger Ale (sprite, 7up or sparkling lemonade work good too) Instructions (pretty easy – just need time to freeze it up – 24 hours or so) Boil the 7 cups or water and dissolve the 2 cups sugar. Cool. Put in an ice cream pail...
