iTunes playlists that don't suck
Step 1: Get rid of everything you don’t want popping up at random.
Create a playlist that goes something like:
Genre contains: Christmas
Genre contains: Classical
Genre contains: Spoken
I call it Archive. You don’t want to listen to it, ever.
Step 2: Set up playlists for differently rated songs.
This will take some fine-tuning, but mine are set up like this:
Rating is: ★★★★★

Tradition
It’s Friday, and that’s when I go to the Soup Lounge for lunch. Today is sunny and there are two ways for me to walk there: by the canal, or along the edge of the old quarter.
I can’t tell you how awesome the walk is, either way you choose. The street by the old quarter has all those iconic gabled lowlands houses. There’s even a fricking castle there, right in the center....

Yep, turned out that apple didn’t think Bjorn (my name according to my credit-card) and Björn (my name according to everyone else) could possibly be the same person, so they put my iPhone Developer Connection application on hold until I called them.

Crazy kids, sneaking girls into their rooms with their dirty magazines.
In Thailand, perhaps.
In Thailand, perhaps. Somewhere tropical. Bus arrives.
Close up of Goldie Hawn and Meryl Streep crossing a bridge on foot. They look back towards the bus and smile at a fat, overloaded guy creeping across the embankment, comically struggling in the heat.
Cut to other famous faces, most of them arguing about silly things. One of those supporting actors you see popping up again and again is...
Bad Apple, bad.
So I signed up for the iPhone Developer Program, and within minutes I got an email telling me to go to a web page for further information.
That website told me how to download Quicktime Pro, but had no mention of iPhone or anything related. A few clicks later, I went back to The Apple Developer Connection site, which told me I would need to activate my account, using a code in an email I might...
What is Stephen Harper Reading? →
Author Yann Martel has been sending books to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper every two weeks since April 16 2007. Looks like a good list, and I intend to follow Martel’s suggestions and try to read the ones I haven’t already. Starting at #1.
