This little gem is probably old news, but it’s new to me and I can’t count the times I wish I had something exactly like this. Send mail straight at this thing and you can view it in the browser(JSON, plaintext, html, and source), download originals to stick in other clients, fairly full featured in terms of making sure mail gets sent, and getting an idea for what it might look like. Includes some nifty extras like growl notification and instant refresh over WebSockets.
Oh, hey. How are you? Everything good with you? That’s great…great to hear!
What’s new with us, you ask?
Well…HOW ABOUT EVERYTHING?!?!?
A shiny new Lover.ly rolled live late last night, and we’re thrilled to introduce it to you! Just a few notes on what’s new…the site can really do the…
Well that’s what this song is about, written in response to a critic who said she can’t. For a girl who can’t sing, she sure does alright:
first Female Artist in more than a decade to top the 4 million mark with three consecutive studio albums
as of March 2011, she had sold over 20 million albums and 41.8 million singles worldwide.
listed in the 2012 Guinness Book Of World Records as the Fastest Selling Digital Album by a Female Artist
most Simultaneous U.S. Hot 100 Hits by a Female Artist
the list goes on for a while
After watching her sing for two hours with 16,000 (clearly adoring, read: screaming) fans at Burswood Dome, notorious for its horrendous sound, I’d say I’m a convert.
Singing isn’t where it stops though. For a 22 year old, she can sing, play the guitar (6 and 12 string), the piano, the banjo, the ukelele, she changed outfits 9 times and had a stage with as many changes to rival a theatrical production.
She also greeted the seated fans by performing some of her set from a glowing tree at the back of the concert.
So what’s the problem?
She’s popular.
That age-old problem of being popular so people discard you as being manufactured. Sometimes on pop radio stations, you might not understand the difference, But see Taylor Swift running around the stage, belting out songs (that she writes herself mind you) on a banjo or guitar and you will understand.
Sometimes artists are made popular so that they can perform pre-written music for the record labels, but sometimes artists become popular after they are already accomplished musicians. Miss Swift is definitely the latter. So far that hasn’t seemed to stifle her unique, incredibly personal songwriting. Lets hope she keeps it up.
It’s hard to argue against stories like this and this because any nut job can accuse you of being anti-privacy or an apologist. These stories have some merit, but come on. At what point does this stop? We’re coming up on a year of these types of stories. Next up — BREAKING: Android and iOS…
Facebook just filed the preliminary prospectus for its long-awaited initial public offering (IPO). As rumored, the company is seeking to raise $5 billion. If Facebook manages to raise this capital, it will be on a shortlist of biggest tech IPOs of all time. Investment bank Morgan Stanley wi…
Have been following the Netflix saga for a few months and as a relatively new customer, I’m starting to think a lot of their customer base are spoilt brats.
They thought splitting the DVD rental and streaming components of the business was a good idea. It wasn’t. They lost about 800,000 customers last year.
But now, after all this has subsided, people now think it is bad value. In what alternate universe is Netflix bad value? They may have bad service, and a restricted range, however lets do the math:
It costs $8/month to stream unlimited content. That’s > 700 hours of content a month (the average is 33 hours a month, or 24c an hour). I may not be a mathematical genius, but this sure has me stumped.
