I can’t believe that I just reblogged the greatest living artist. Like an amateur.

It’s here: a zine version of our comprehensive geological analysis of lunar samples collected in 2007. “Moon Rock Report,” printed in color and hand-sewn, is available now at www.tomsachs.org/item/moon-rock-report.
Someone trashed a perfectly good vase that was broken to pieces. Then I sealed the cracks with precision and reinforced them using a papier-mâché method. It also houses about 48 ft. of usable extension cord that I installed, so the vase will now be practical in addition to being beautiful.
Minimal Mac: The Best Upgrade Is You
I have come to believe that the best and most cost effective technology upgrade that one can make is to themselves. I’m not talking cyborg implants here. I’m speaking about knowledge. That is, increasing your skill, aptitude, and understanding when it comes to any device, application, or tool.

This timely piece is worthwhile.
How I phone: Introduction
What a clever title, right? I know. It’s a gas. Well, such titles will henceforth be used to amass a collection of related posts instead of trying to write a monolithic response to this question. I have been meaning to do this, so thank you, good buddy. I have also gone back and tagged a few older posts with how i phone because that’s how I roll. Naturally, many of them will also be tagged with how blank because, you know, that is ostensibly the meat of this blog. But you don’t have to take my word for it.
I do not care about sports. I am an atheist. I am not a woman. There are probably many fine iOS apps designed for sports fans, Christians, and women, bless their hearts, but you won’t find them covered here. Except for that one time. Look, I am merely introducing an explicit way of organizing this stuff.
Perhaps more substantial posts about iOS will supplement observations. I don’t know. I use an iPhone 4. I do not have an iPod touch nor an iPad. However, this content will largely be applicable to owners of those devices as well.
I have been using Mac computers since System 7. I used to work at an Apple Retail Store. Now I work at a professional photo lab. I also work at a furniture consignment store on the weekends and do freelance design work occasionally. Anyway, I know things. Just like you.
But this is about how I use my iPhone. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My iPhone is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My iPhone, without me, is useless. Without my iPhone, I am useless. Sorry, that’s the Rifleman’s Creed. I thought that I had something interesting to say. Maybe next time.
And speaking of going through everything in the Settings app, developers should try Enabling and Using Web Inspector in Safari on iOS Devices. It may have been there before, but I only just discovered this feature in iOS 6. Using Web Inspector with a real device is better than using Simulator, which is part of Xcode. It’s kind of a tedious setup but good for doing finishing touches on mobile or “responsive” projects.
View source on the iPad and iPhone | Ole Michelsen
As a web developer I’m frequently looking at the source code of various websites. Lately my new iPad has become my primary tool for surfing and reading documentation, but alas it completely lacks a view source feature.
A fine solution is to create a bookmarklet, which is a piece of JavaScript saved as a bookmark. When you want to see the source of a web page, just click the bookmark and the source of the page is displayed. I was inspired by this bookmarklet by Rob Flaherty, but it has a few shortcomings. To improve upon the bookmarklet concept, I created my own version with a few more bells and whistles:
The bells and whistles are quite nice. I recently started using this. It works like a charm.
I just got an iphone, what apps, tips and tricks can you recommend?
It’s nuts, right? Just play around with all of the default apps first. If you haven’t already, go through everything in the Settings app. That may sound boring, but you’ll learn how many of the apps work. Also, some of them provide different features when rotated from portrait to landscape orientation. Calculator, for example, becomes scientific and Calendar shows the week view. You can go full screen with Safari in landscape too.
I’ll write more when I have time. If anyone has a specific question they’d like for me to address, just ask.
