“What Our Saviour Saw from the Cross”

This is how working with new CSS elements feels.
I have an awesome wife
In this video, she’s performing a forgotten Broadway piece, the Alto’s Lament. The song is a medley of the alto and supporting parts of famous Broadway numbers.
Announcing Forecast
This is a great looking weather app, and since it’s from the makers of Dark Sky, I feel like I’ll be able to trust the data.
We’re extremely excited to announce the launch of Forecast, a new global weather service.
About a year ago, we released a little app for the iPhone and iPad called Dark Sky, attempting to do something new and interesting for weather forecasting, a field we think had become pretty stagnant. Approaching 100k sales, it’s been fairly successful; however, we’ve been continually asked for more: international support, longer-term forecasting, an Android app, and so on.
Rather than cram these things into Dark Sky, we decided to do something grander: create our own full-featured weather service from scratch, complete with 7-day forecasts that cover the whole world, beautiful weather visualizations, and a time machine for exploring the weather in the past and far future. You can access it from all of your devices, whether it be your laptop, iPhone, Android phone, or tablet…
Paris is the Paris of things that other things are the thing of.

Tip anyway
Even when the food’s not perfect. Even when the server mixes something up (as long as they fix it). Even when there’s something stinky that comes with the order.
Goodbye FeedBurner
With the recently announced demise of Google Reader in Google’s Spring Cleaning post, it looks like Google is getting out of the blog reading business. Therefore, I’ve decided to transition away from FeedBurner, their blog feed publishing platform, as well. (Goodbye RSS subscriber stats of questionable reliability).
The new feed for this site has a link up in the header and here. Please re-subscribe when you get the chance. If you use RSS, you’ll know what to do. (The old feed is still around, not deleted or broken, so it will still work as long as Google lets it. Update: Actually, I ended up having to delete the feed to get rid of the redirect loops.)
If you regularly read RSS, you’re probably looking for a good Google Reader alternative, but I (and many other sites) might add email subscriptions in the future. Email isn’t going anywhere. Let me know if you’d be into that.
