Sixteen Years | MetaTalk – Wow, for the MeFites this is pretty huge. @mathowie is stepping down! I remember how stoked I was to get a personal email from him four years ago when his family was visiting Sydney, asking for advice on travelling from the airport and suggesting we meet up. It turned into a proper event with a bunch of other Sydney MeFites, and qwip even got a photo. Thanks for all the memories, Matt, and best of luck on your new adventure!
@nickmaher @stephenlead My team builds a catch-up TV app. I’d say 60% of email feedback is addressed to characters on the TV shows.

Hey @iprofile – why are you spamming me to “remind me” I have a profile that I never signed up for? With job details 8+ years old?
@iProfile @regravity Wow, the exact same thing just happened to me. Details appear to be from a job 8+ years ago.
@regravity @iProfile The issue is I haven’t engaged any recruiting agencies. The information they have on me is nearly a decade out of date.

Fake taxidermied animal heads with Liberty. http://t.co/LzIbOjnMsF (ping @randomknits…)
Wait, what? Sportscraft are selling a shirt in a Liberty print inspired by John Malkovich. Yes, really. @randomknits http://t.co/mMxMJhCBmF
@drwitty_knitter @randomknits It’s my day for crazy Liberty links on the Internet, evidently.
Some of my team built this app in partnership with Mi9 Creative Studios. Very cool to see it actually out there in the wild! (If you think it’s annoying, you should’ve heard it when it was being QA’d. Right @Sarah Lawrence?)

What I’ve learned after 10 years of quantifying myself – Medium – I’m tempted to try out Eternity myself. Here’s my conundrum though: there’s lots of evidence that the act of tracking something – food, goals, exercise, time spent – produces results even if you don’t seriously analyse the results. But what happens when “tracking” becomes effortless? It seems like there’s a point at which the results drop off. If I were using a manual pedometer and logging my steps each day, I suspect I would be fitter and more motivated than I am when my Fitbit just handles it all for me (and sometimes I forget to even look at the results).
How Bad Are K-Cups for the Environment? – The Atlantic – Two things I found fascinating: 1) Singapore doesn’t have K-Cups. Huh. Another tick in Singapore’s favour, as far as I’m concerned! 2) Keurig actually argues that their machines are more environmentally efficient because non-Keurig machines waste too much coffee (since rarely to people measure out exactly the proper amount), and coffee uses a lot of water to grow. That would be interesting to try to quantify. I know that the Snook (and I) thinks that the coffee he produces by grinding fresh beans and using an espresso machine at home is far superior to K-Cup taste… but judging by the coffee grinds all over the counter top each day, there’s definitely some wastage and inefficiency. (Not to mention when somebody – *cough cough* – forgets and leaves the machine on all day…)
