So it Turns Out Maybe old Steve Was Right About Mobile Flash

I got to say, whether you love or hate Apple, the writing has been on the wall for Flash, and especially mobile Flash, for years. I mean, they can’t get it to run well on a core2 on the desktop, why would anyone think that they will somehow be able to optimize for the ARMs and A4s of the world?

“Now every purchase I make comes with a second-guess: Do I really need this? Like really, really need this? In the past year, “impulse buy” has left my vocabulary. I found myself buying fewer things, but also nicer things. On the whole, it’s led me to cherish my few purchases more. Every possession also requires a certain amount of upkeep, and I find myself with more time and less possessional guilt. Every thing owned begs to be used constantly; every second not utilized comes a shred of buyer’s remorse. Everything I own I use at least once per month, save for my winter clothes.” Mark Frauenfelder, The nitty-gritty of whittling down your possessions (via mnmal)
