Mobile tabs

02/10/2010

Neven Mrgan (the original vowel-dropper) gave me a cool link-sharing idea (well, I think it's cool anyway). He occasionally posts collections of Wikipedia links that he's viewed recently and they make for interesting reading. You end up in some weird-ass Wikipedia articles if you spend long enough browsing. Same with sitting, watching crappy TV or waiting for trains or whatever.

With that in mind, I've been saving my mobile tabs because they're representative of the random browsing I do! Steve Jobs seems to think that people don't search on phones like they do on desktops. Physically, he's got a point, but I don't think there's a huge difference. I make more impulsive, general knowledge searches on my phone, but that's probably due to not doing my day job on my phone.

So, here's the Safari tabs currently open on my phone:

Steph Thirion's (Eliss developer) tumblr

Music from The Hard Times of RJ Berger

LaTeX, document formatting markup

The girl who plays Celeste from Two and a Half Men's Twitter

Programmable Midi footswitch thing - I really hope something like this comes out for AmpKit/iPhone.

Operation: Hulk Edition - I was convinced that Hasbro didn't make Operation. Turns out Hasbro makes all the board games.

This song always gets stuck in my head and I always forget who it's by (When in Rome - The Promise)

I don't use last.fm any more, but this is cool-looking

This song is featured on all the TV shows. Heard it on Numb3rs - those guys are so good at picking music.

(as a side note, I wrote this on my phone - 3 fault starts because WordPress for iPhone sucks and crashes all the time. Horrible app)
