“Please say when you are feeding your fish, because I worry about them. I can’t see if you are feeding them, so please say you are feeding them out loud.”
Katie’s father explained. Katie was blind, and, in her father’s words, “she does cry if you don’t say that you have fed the fish.”

The Power of Introverts
I heard today that Susan’s book “Quiet” is a great read. When the book was brought up by a friend, it reminded me of Susan’s TED Talk, which impressed me when I saw it about a year ago.
I want to read the book soon, maybe on vacation. I think this is needful in our business culture.
Anything that is Delicious →
I'm not usually in the mood to use another social service online, but after 20 minutes of playing with the recently revamped Delicious.com I was hooked.
The new version of Delicious is my way of sharing links. Anyway I can de-clutter the Facebook stream I will. If you want the everyday items of the Internet that intrigue me, then check out my Delicious feed.
Note: everything I want on Jiving Jackalope will still be here. I'm just offering you more awesomeness elsewhere.
Photos Every Day
It's one of the more compelling TV ads I've seen for the iPhone. I enjoy the wide array of scenarios. It doesn't feel 60 seconds long.

Boy, can she doodle.
We Choose Superman →
I better understood what Superman meant when I watched the most recent and final trailer for Man of Steel. When Lois Lane asks him what the S stands for, he says, “It’s not an S. On my world, it means hope.”
When a twisted someone believes that they are delivering an important message by blowing up innocents in a city that is a cradle of our liberty, I choose hope. I choose unrealistic and unbounded hope. I choose Superman.
The Smart Shopping Pyramid →
Work your way through the pyramid in this order when you’re thinking about buying clothes. If something doesn’t fit, stop there. If it fits, but it seems cheaply made, skip it. And if it fits and is of good quality, but doesn’t feel right for your style, wait for something more suited to your tastes.
With advice like this it’s made clear that shopping for clothes online is out of the equation. Most clothes need to be tried on.
“Man of Steel” Soundtrack List →
If you care to potentially learn more about the “Man of Steel” via the track names of the soundtrack, be my guest. As geeky as I am, I can't bring myself to read the names. I already know too much about the movie already from the trailers.
Come to think of it, I'm not sure that I like them releasing this track list in advance in the first place. Without listening to the music along with it…
Tobuscus “Dramatic Song”
“Oblivion” GFX
This film has some exceptional design standards:
It definitely surpasses the quality of UIs in “The Avengers” where the graphics were displayed on translucent glass (very poor for visibility and readability).
