What was I thinking? Such a contest can't possibly get you more followers - the only people that hear about it are the people that are automatically disqualified for already following you! In fact, I lost followers almost instantly.

ok who unfollowed me??

iOS 7 Design Quirk

It took me a while to figure out why I'm still uncomfortable with the design of iOS 7. It's not the flat design, I think that is so cool. Yesterday I realized it:

1

What if her name was longer? Would the name butt up against "< Messages"? I decided to find someone with a longer name:

2

Dang, still a pretty short name. What about a phone number?

Grooveshark Machine

Getting children to sleep can be... challenging. Our oldest is almost at the point where she can put herself to sleep, and music really helps relax her. We typically leave a phone in her room, playing her favourite playlist (currently the Wizard of Oz soundtrack).

This is working really well, but sometimes it feels like my (or my wife's) phone is being held hostage. That's why I developed the Grooveshark Machine, a headless device (that is really an old computer or a Raspberry Pi) that can be controlled with the phone.

Grooveshark Machine Controller Interface

Just enter your Grooveshark Playlist ID and press Play, and the machine will start playing.

Check out Grooveshark Machine
