Back from Hawaii! Suddenly Germany feels cloudier than ever. #
Why am I sweating more in Germany than in Hawaii? #
"Sun Certified Developer for the Java

Copy a control element designed for touch and bring it to the desktop: "Be what's next" right? http://isne.at/1h #

Doing the obvious thing and following WWDC keynote live blogs: http://next.cinnamonthoughts.org/ #
Farmville is coming to iPhone. I hope there will be some real announcements… #WWDC #
iPhone 4 display: 4 times the pixels, will render hi-res text and GUI controls automatically even in "old" apps. Nice. #
iPhone 4: Gyroscope, 802.11n, better battery, A4 (iPad CPU). These make up for the Farmville announcement on stage. #
"This product desires that stick out of lens uses electively to only long some digital camera than Dicapac hard packing length." — Okay… #

Hey TNT, I'm home—where are you? #
I've got iPad. Yay! #
Syncing… Damn you entertaining content! #
My iPhone suddenly feels tiny, light and cheap. Thanks for confusing my senses, iPad. #
iPad is just great. Enjoying @reederapp (fantastic iPad beta), @instapaper, @twitterrific, iBooks & Mirror's Edge. #
Amazon.de charges for packaging below 20€. They didn't for my order of 19,90€. Thanks @amazon! #
You can select several photos on the iPad by touching & holding one until the selection mark appears, then move your finger to select more. #
Ollie (@twitterrific) — connecting blue and grey iPad icons since 2010. http://embr.it/BTc #
Good news for iPad owning Google Reader users: "Just submitted Reeder for iPad (via @reederapp)" #
I'll collect links to live coverage of Monday's keynote on http://next.cinnamonthoughts.org. The web app links to mobile sites from iPhone. #
Wanna play a game of @CarcassonneApp? Invite me or tell me your mail address via DM. #
This is just wrong: "Just got notified that the review process will require additional time..". /via @reederapp #
28°C and the train will be 30 minutes late. My favorite thing on a Sunday! #

Twitter for iPhone (Tweetie 3) is out. The retweet button replaced the paperclip (URL actions). Expect lots of accidental retweets by me. #
Good thing Twitter 3.0 asks before retweeting. Just prevented my first accidental retweet.
It looks mostly like Tweetie 2.0 which is good! #
Removing the username and NOT focusing the password field after a failed login attempt is bad design. #
The fantastic Google Reader client @reederapp is coming to iPad: http://isne.at/reederipad #
Bought the Missing iPhone Dev Manual by @chockenberry for $10 as PDF+ePub. http://isne.at/idevbook — IT COMES WITH http://isne.at/FLESHYPALM #
Windows: cleaned. Hours spent: 4. Light intensity in rooms: at least one order of magnitude more. Victory beer: tasty. #
My lovely wife made me a Tequila Sunrise. Thanks @Mrs_GTM! #

Just pre-ordered 64GB flash memory in a nice aluminum and glass package. #
Ukulele cover of MGMT's "Kids" http://isne.at/ukekids /via @danfrakes #
"The cake is a lie!" — Portal is free on Steam for Mac. #
Wow, Portal is short — and great! After three hours you're rewarded with a funny song during the credits… and maybe cake. #
Finally bought Transmit 4 (http://panic.com/transmit/) by @panic. The trial got me hooked. Goodbye substandard file transfers! #
Taxes: done! 36 pages of pure fun. #

"A simple «Hello World» app created in Flash and compiled to work on the iPhone would take up 8 MB" (Wired, http://isne.at/8mbflash) #
NASA TV: "the mission which will be commanded by canned ham…"
Clearly the video stream I'm watching isn't of great quality. #
Received my first iPad case in the mail today. Still four days until I can pre-order an iPad. This is not ideal. #

Collection of well designed iPad apps — or as they say it: http://ipadappsthatdontsuck.com/ #
Gave up trying to convert http://isne.at/m2 to ePub. Isn't there one decent ePub converter? Will read in @instapaper instead. Always works! #

Just realized my desktop browser displays 1098 × 772 pixels. Close enough to a certain device's resolution to know it is great for surfing. #
My iPhone web app GPS Coordinates is "Featured web app" & "Staff Pick" on http://www.apple.com/webapps/utilities — http://embr.it/gpscoords #
BBQ! #
Damn you Apple! Universal binaries for @instapaper and Delivery Status by @junecloud start appearing in the German App Store. 1 month early… #
Tried to watch a video about web standards and HTML5/JavaScript. Flash didn't want me to: http://twitpic.com/1cu4aa #
Got no iPad, but the iPad simulator is now available to everyone. My web apps all work on the iPad: http://cinnamonthoughts.org/iphone/ #

"Articles" by @sophiestication is basically a Wikipedia-only version of a better looking Mobile Safari — which is a very, very good thing! #
Many thanks for the best newsreader, @reederapp! I didn't have a single crash since 2.0 beta 7. Fingers crossed for a quick approval. #

Visited the four-letter shop (IKEA), "built" a table for our grill and planted some flowers on the balcony. Spring, we're ready! #
Naming things: one of the hardest tasks during coding. Second place goes to writing databse. #

Apple's Tim Cook asked about new markets for them: "I don't want to take away your joy in the surprise on Wednesday." /via http://isne.at/16 #
On the go during Apple's tablet event? I've updated my keynote web app with more links to iPhone friendly live coverage: http://isne.at/live #
My mandatory iPad tweet 1/3: Awful name. «Canvas» would've been far better. #
My mandatory iPad tweet 2/3: Will buy a 16GB one (I guess). That's plenty. iPhone is for music, iPad for reading @instapaper and news feeds. #
My mandatory iPad tweet 3/3: I'd be very puzzled if we don't see optimized C&C, Settlers, etc. soon. «iPad, made for strategy games.»™ #
My iPhone runs 5 to 6 hours on one full charge again. Up from 1 to 3 a few months ago. Didn't change anything. Now installing the new OS. #
"Coffee" must never be followed by a questionmark. Ever. #

The Apple tablet will have a see-through glass display. Because it's cool. And my fanboy ideas are rumors, right? RIGHT? #tiredofrumors #
For simply downloading a file on the Mac OS X terminal "curl -O" is a good "wget" replacement. #
How did I miss these handy shortcuts while using TextMate? http://embr.it/dQ
Also noteworthy: paste from history with ⌃⌥⌘V (Ctrl+Alt+Cmd+V). #
After 15 mails with 30 tasks in the last 24hrs sent to myself I've realized: I need @thehitlist for iPhone! (Oh, and start using Notes.app.) #
Last night's 4.5 hours of sleep were a welcomed improvement to the 3 hours the night before. I'm tired of this. #badpun #
I've joked Apple's tablet will have a transparent display (because some ppl. even hate glossy ones). They're real: http://isne.at/thefuture #

Mac OS X: You can Cmd+click on a link in Mail.app to open it in the background. Same as in Safari. #protip #
Pastebot from @tapbots: clipboard manager for iPhone w/ Mac prefPane; copy & paste both ways. Will replace mails to myself. http://isne.at/p #
Payed 6.66€ for groceries… #
Snow fell tonight and didn't melt instantly. That's a new one and makes for one happy wife. #
Dinner: eaten. Mulled wine: cooking. Yummy! #

Fixing my laptop bag. In a hotel room. MacGyver style. (Ok, I've cheated: glue was involved.) http://isne.at/q #
Wrote a WP plugin for Twitter Tools http://isne.at/r (tweets posts) to use YOURLS http://yourls.org for URL shortening. May release it soon. #
Thought after a few days of heavy MacBook Pro keyboard & trackpad use where glass trackpad looks pristine & keys need cleaning: glass keys. #
