This Week in Browsing

Samuel L. Ipsum – Awesome. (via DF and Aaron Silvers)

Instagram 2.0 – Massive update. Instant filters. Instant tilt-shift. High-res photos.

iTunes Skip Feature – Exactly the solution I was looking for. I’m creating a smart list for these so I can remove them from my library entirely. (via DF)

“While some people might find it distasteful to pay taxes. I don’t. I find it Patriotic.”

The Yoda Pie Chart – There is no try.

Hip-Checked — “For the past year HP has looked like a dog being tempted on opposite sides of the room by two treats. Constantly rushing back and forth so as to not lose either of the treats, but never actually getting either of the treats.”

Welcome to Macintosh

Charge money for your work. Don’t be a jerk to people. Repeat. (via Ben Brooks)

Last Week in Browsing – Third Delayed Edition

Apps vs the Web (via Daring Fireball)

Bluelounge Mini Dock adapter – clever. (via Minimal Mac)

The Birdy – great way to track spending. Simply respond to one email each day. I use Evernote to do the same thing – but I do it live – as soon as I spend it, I email my Evernote account like this: 2011 Taxes – Expense – Software – App Store – $9.99 – but that doesn’t give me pretty charts.

The Birdy would go great with SassyCents, a new “how to be smart with your money” blog from Tammy Thorn.

Viva La Vida, Lego Edition

1.8 Zettabytes – wow.

Meetings are death, death to meetings – YES!

Otis – New Remix From Jay-Z and Kanye

Good song. Great video. Everything is a remix.

I Like Mine With Lettuce and Tomato

They’ll be able to start a band, open up a restaurant, go on tropical adventures, or just stand around partying while listening to Buffett sing about those things, just like they do in real life…

…Many questions still remain unanswered about the game. Will the fins be to the left, or to the right? Will the level cap stop at 40? Where are we gonna go when the volcano blows? Hopefully these questions and more will be answered when THQ debuts Margaritaville Online at E3 2011 next month.

As a lifelong Parrothead (well, okay, I didn’t start until I was eight), I will be playing and reviewing Margaritaville Online when it launches. I’m sure it will be lame. But, it might just be niche enough (and in a niche I give a crap about) that I’ll goof around with it, regardless.

If Songs You Know By Heart are levels or adventures, which of these would YOU want to play?

  • “Cheeseburger in Paradise”
  • “He Went to Paris”
  • “Fins”
  • “Son of a Son of a Sailor”
  • “A Pirate Looks at Forty”
  • “Margaritaville”
  • “Come Monday”
  • “Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes”
  • “Why Don’t We Get Drunk”
  • “Pencil Thin Mustache”
  • “Grapefruit-Juicy Fruit”
  • “Boat Drinks”
  • “Volcano”

Coldplay: Strawberry Swing Video

Incredible – I wonder how long it took to make this.
