Grab bag: Not delicious
-
Guess I know what I’ll be doing on January 6.
-
The irony of my using Delicious to comment on the impending closure of Delicious is not lost on me. Anyone got another recommendation for a good shared bookmarking service?

How to do an app-store-less install with iOS 4.x.
Grab bag: Change your passwords.

Grab bag: Errors and Jimbo
-
Brilliant initiative that pushes news organizations to crowdsource fact checking, and pushes readers to demand it.
-
The wall of Jimmy would be really interesting, and really creepy. I’m reminded of an old Drew Friedman cartoon: “fer crissakes, we’re all Borgnines!”
-
This is just ridiculous, and probably legally actionable: ” He then says “they” (aka TSA) saw me coming, have it out for me (from my complaint against TSA the week before when they didn’t know the breast milk rules then either), and I should travel out of a different gate in future weeks.”
