Just refound this, watch it and you will understand why The National is one of the most

What would happen if you were to connect all the ZIP codes in Canada, Australia, the US or for example Germany in ascending order? Is there a system behind the assignment of ZIP codes? Are they organized in a grid? The result is surprising and much more interesting than expected. (via eagereyes.org)

implodr: This is what the world would look like without designers. I’m sure the Stevens Creek Software folks are capable of creating decent software in terms of code, but the UI is clearly an afterthought. You’re going to walk away from this gold rush very disappointed if you don’t have someone on your project with an eye for design and detail. marco: Via John Gruber: Check out the UI on this upcoming iPhone app from Palm OS developer Stevens Creek Software. This is not a joke. Damn. If that’s my competition, my app will do just fine.

Update errors

Very true and it happend before.

twitterstatus:

People are reporting errors when they update.  Updates appear to vanish on the web (requires a page reload) and clients like Twitterrific & Twirl aren’t able to update at all. We’re working on a fix and intend to deploy it today.
