Hey there, I'm not sure where that came from! Did you find it on Rob's bee blog?

@Charlene, I've forwarded your comment to Richard. I think having an application on the website is a very good idea and have suggested that as well. Good luck!

Hi Debra! It's from Gwent outside of Wales. Disturbing video, the level of gore is pretty extreme. I am sure someone is writing more about this kind of stuff, but I don't know where...

Yeah, it's pretty shocking when you see it laid out in a graphic like this. Brutal times.

Keith! Thanks for commenting. You work at Skitch? I don't think I realized that, even tho you mention Skitch in your post. If you do, let me thank you personally for contributing to such a killer tool. Nice work!! I'm going to have to check out that pattern link. There are some great design pattern resources out there. An obvious one is YUI as well. Looking forward to more posts from you!

A little jaded, are we? :) I'm serious, I think making stuff that is suggestive of greatness can be very powerful. Most big companies have a hard time doing that well, primarily because their decisions to go "simple" are often motivated, as you say, by limited resources, conflicting directives and crappy implementation. But when you're looking at the individual inentors and startups that are making stuff that is "simple" but evocative, it's often because they have passion + limited resources that force tough decision.

Hi Mark! Thanks for commenting. I know I'm one of many people who have parallel blogs on Tumblr, and of course I've used & am amazed by the ease of Posterous. That said, I find it tedious to have to go back and forth from the Tumblr Dashboard to the Typepad Dashboard ad nauseam. I'd really appreciate the amalgam of Tumblr's clarity, reblogging and somewhat passive community & TypePad's strengths. I certainly wouldn't want to see them wither, but I vacillate between advising people to use WP and TypePad and pointing people to Tumblr as their web front end. This is one step closer to an ideal wholesale package. You guys have made some great updates lately. Nice work!

Hi Mary! I had no idea that you are a SEO maven! Yeah, it'd be good to talk! Just curious, how did you stumble upon this post?

Thanks Daniel! I've been there myself, whenever I start a new blog. How do I make this worth doing? The thing I find time and again is to just start posting and then work out around to making sense of it all!

Hmm, that's cool! What brand was it? I don't really stress about spending a little bit of coin for the Moleskines, but cheap is always good, especially for the kids. I could always feel the difference in using quality paper. I think it's important to impress upon them that quality paper doesn't need to be treated like something precious. I've sen way too many people "save" their thoughts instead of jotting on a nice notebook. It's madness.

Ha. YES I did know that, but then they sent the check a day early for some reason and my entire life bounced which resulted in ~$400 in overdraft so I decided to go the safe manual route. It's all about the cashiers check.

It's excellent. Subtle and totally great for showing to other people.

Twice now I have been editing a post and have lost my changes despite the constant feedback that the post is being auto-saved. SO FRUSTRATING. The issue happens when I am editing image metadata. If I hit "RETURN" when the dialog is open my expected behavior is that the dialog's "OK" button will be hit, but instead it reloads the post and says my changes have been saved, but the post content is from the previous save.

Yeah, too bad CA doesn't have umlaut as well!
