Nils Riedemann recommended Rant: I Love Photography from wired.com:

And more people consume more photography than they ever did thanks to things like Facebook, Instagram, iPads, blogs, and “best of” compilations. This is the golden age of photography. Everyone takes photos now, and there is inspiration all around us. History is being made, and we’re capturing it.

Nils Riedemann recommended Vim speed is not really the point from wrongsideofmemphis.com:

we act like samurais in anime, just staring at the code, analysing them carefully. Thinking, thinking, thinking. And suddenly, in a blink of an eye, we draw our sword and hit with precision, to then stand still, in a dramatic pose, as we see our enemy cut in half.

Nils Riedemann recommended Don't slog away at the end of the day from threads2.scripting.com:

Nils Riedemann recommended Mew-Genics! Official announcement on gameplay! from edmundm.com:

I think most would describe Mew-Genics as a cross between The Sims and Pokemon with a sprinkling of Animal Crossing and a dash of Tamagotchi , but at its core the game really isn’t like anything we’ve seen before.

Nils Riedemann recommended Bruce Lawson’s personal site from brucelawson.co.uk:

Attempting to compete on standards support is like opening a restaurant and putting a sign in the window saying “All our chefs wash their hands before handling food”.

Nils Riedemann recommended 2013: Das Web zurück erobern from spreeblick.com:

Das Web sammelt Wissen und dokumentiert Menschheitskultur. Es ist für jeden zugänglich, der einen Internet-Anschluss hat. Wenn dieses Wissen und diese Dokumentation jedoch immer mehr hinter verschlossenen Türen in Räumen stattfindet, die von wenigen kontrolliert werden, die nur diejenigen eintreten lassen, die zunächst ihre Daten hinterlassen und ihre Rechte abgeben, dann wird das Web verkümmern, zu einem obskuren Nerd-Spielplatz werden oder ganz sterben.

Nils Riedemann recommended Why Programmers Work At Night from businessinsider.com:

This is why programmers are so annoyed when you distract them.

Nils Riedemann recommended X-Surface: Don't believe everything you read. from x-surface.tumblr.com:

At 1:41am GMT today I sent out an email to a bunch of gaming sites claiming to be a Microsoft employee working on the new Xbox. I made up every single word of it along with a couple of specs copied from other rumours that have been appearing on the Internet.

Nils Riedemann recommended Why I Love Being A Programmer in Louisville (or, Why I Won't Relocate to Work for Your Startup) from erniemiller.org:

Life's too short to spend so much of it in between the places you truly want to be

Nils Riedemann recommended One step ahead and two steps back: are apps really the future? from christianheilmann.com:

Of course you can now list 23123 reasons why apps are better than web apps on mobile devices, but I dare you to find one that is not based on the device or OS vendor blocking access to functionality for non-native code. We praise a model of distribution for its simplicity based on lockout.

Nils Riedemann recommended Von iOS auf Android umsteigen, ein Erfahrungsbericht (Teil 1) from carstenwolfram.de:

Die NFC-Funktionalität ist toll: Man kann sich NFC-Tags mit Befehlen beschreiben und dann das Telefon ranhalten und es führt diese Befehle automatisch aus. Beispiel: Am Bettrand. Man legt das Telefon auf den NFC-Tag und es geht automatisch in den Silent-Mode, stellt den Wecker, etc.

Nils Riedemann recommended The Basement from cabel.me:

Somewhere in Portland, there’s a very old building, and that very old building has a very, very old basement. An incredible basement, a video-game-level basement, a set-decorator’s dream basement. And when you walk past the janitors office, with the wonderfully decked halls…

Nils Riedemann recommended How a Videogame God Inspired a Twitter Doppelgänger — and Resurrected His Career from wired.com:

@PeterMolydeux was becoming an outlet for the widespread dissatisfaction within the industry, a voice for the thousands of developers who had grown tired of the limitations of mainstream gaming.

Nils Riedemann recommended Some advice from Jeff Bezos from 37signals.com:

It’s perfectly healthy — encouraged, even — to have an idea tomorrow that contradicted your idea today.

Nils Riedemann recommended The Homely Mutt from stevelosh.com:

Now that Sparrow is effectively dead many of its users will be looking for a new email client. If you’re not afraid of the terminal you may want to give Mutt a try.
