He just wanted to live and make life a movie sized adventure.
Before I turned nineteen, I had never traveled, and lived at home with my...

Anyone know a solid iPad app for wireframing...
iMockups is a little rough, OmniGraffle seem to be built for diagramming, not wireframing…
I wish MockFlow or Balsamiq had apps.

Cool piece in WSJ. All you Mission folks are too cool for school. Article reposted in full below. Did I mention that I enjoy defying their paywall? Best line:
“I knew it was an area we could attract people to,” says Mr. Nivi, 33. “I like intense people, and intense people like the Mission.”

This Tokyo architect built an apartment with moveable walls. The rooms he’s not in are “compressed” to save space. Efficient!

They were fortified by a substantial breakfast: medium-rare steaks and french fries for three of them, a cheeseburger for another and sandwiches for the remaining two. As a joke, they donned blue and black smoking jackets, white shirts and black bow ties — probably the most formal attire ever worn by astronauts on launch day …

Job boards are lame, so I decided to try something different and make a donation to a charity for every reblog of our Photojojo Super Job.
It went like this:

Tuesday, 1:55pm, Topherchris picked Habitat for Humanity. (Thx, Topher!)

My iPad got jealous that my MacBook Pro got skinned so I covered her up in style too.
These are rad.
