It's also awesome.

Re: On the pleasure of using a ‘dumb’ phone

Ross Graham — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 14:15:50 -0000

I myself went the route of dumb phone (Moto W233 Renew to be exact) for about five years alongside my trusty first gen iPod touch. I sucked free wi-fi left and right and paid only $40ish a month for my cell service. Plenty of free texts through Google Voice anytime I was within wi-fi, which was perfectly easy at home.

I got tired of the chase and jumped into the iPhone 5 back in November. I'm not looking back. Ya just gotta shut off notifications and learn some self-control. Just because you have the internet at your fingertips doesn't mean it needs to substitute for your brain. Dig deep and try to remember things. Chew on them. And then maybe look them up later.

I live my life by leaving my phone at home sometimes, shutting it off, ignoring it. It's pretty pleasant.

I'm glad you've found a way to do the same. I'm interested in hearing your report about this experiment after you've been at it six months to a year. :)

Glad you dug 'em! The boys are fantastic. :)

Re: Mac Tip: Move Menu Bar Contents Around In Mac OS X

Any way to do that with non-Apple installed menu items? I've never been able to figure it out. And I think you can get away with just Command-click. No need for the shift.

Am I missing where the submissions for the Bankziety stories should go? I am interested in reading the member feedback

I used to use Backpack all the time. Don't now since I strive to find ways to integrate and streamline my todos and other action items into the other systems I use. For my purposes personally and at work 37signals offers are a bit more than I need. Awesome stuff, but just more than I require.

BTW, I think you mean Backpack in the post. There are a couple references to Backback.

I'm wondering myself if it's good or weird. I'll get some when I find it just to try. What's cool is my folks who need gluten free stuff will be happy. :)

I'll check out Crown Downtown for sure, and see if I can get a couple of the shops nearer me in Broad Ripple to carry it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Slid in at the end of the show. Ended up at Barley Island after a great dinner at Flatwater on the canal. Will definitely be hittin' The Wellington up again for a full set of Touch of 'Grass in the near future tho, I'm sure.

Oh my God. You just made my day. But I swear Primer is even MORE complicated than that.

I desperately want to see a chart like this for the time-travel flick Primer that was out a few years back. If you haven't seen it, and are an Inception fan, you have got to check it out.

You know how long they plan on making this variety of Grain Belt? I need to get up there and pick some up before it's long gone. Was always one of my faves.

Scroll about halfway down to the Global Expansion section.

"What a refreshing outlook this trend presents. Time was that any company involved in international commerce gave some passing consideration to a globe as their logo. It's a solution that has become terribly challenging to address with an original perspective. These logos at least have the honesty to step back and say, "Hey, we may not be fully global yet, but give us time." All of these marks rely on a centric pattern that diminishes at the edge and then warps out to wrap the sphere in symbolic expansion.

Cato Purnell Partner's diverse group of solutions for Dubai Airport succinctly communicates a key message. Commerce, travel, and tourism have made Dubai a true crossroad for international travelers, and this world-class logo has found a unique way to express the point. Using the Islamic sacred symbol of an octagram, or eight-pointed star, the logo starts to envelope the global sphere with its spreading tile mosaic. The dissemination of a culture is no accidental message in this mark."

Huh. I never noticed that about the M&W logo, but heck in the grey tone it sure does look like Target.

I'm not riding you about the logo. :)

When I saw the update on the Star/Twitter/etc today about your company I thought, "Huh, that looks familiar." I got a letter from HardingPoorman not 10 minutes later and noticed the spin graphic in their logo as well on the envelope. Just noticed the similarity. There are several other companies with the same icon as part of their logo as well, I just didn't take the time to dig 'em all up. It's pretty noticeable when both companies are in the same city (albeit not the same industry).

Yes beer!
Upland's moving in at 49th and College for sure. They have a tasting room there that should open in October. Awesome! And Noblesville's Barley Island Brewing Company is going into the spot where the old Bake House was in Broad Ripple. I love it. I'll have four places to get fresh beer within walking distance of my home soon. Uh-oh.

Re: There are better alternatives to Evite

Ross Graham — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 09:34:28 -0000

I think this is a great option as well. Clean, clear, uncluttered and professional looking. We'll use Anyvite for our next corporate event. Thanks for putting it together!

Definitely looks worthwhile this time ... Was planning on tossing old CDs up on eBay ... that app could make it a pile easier. And I get all the other stuff to boot to boot.

Yea, if I got that, I'd have to figure out how to oust the number one me. Can't seem to beat him. :)
