MacBook Air 11" build-to-order options http://tantek.com/w/macbook-air-11 cc @tessa @kzurawel @mies. summary: AppleCare is a must. BBEdit + Firefox + Terminal are my "creative suite". The 11" is plenty snappy - flash storage vs hard drive improves typical use performance (e.g. compared to MacBookPros etc.) more than a ~25% processor speed difference.

[#needspost #ux] "It's not meant to be a strife. It's not meant to be a struggle uphill. Undo undo. If you're bleeding, undo. If you're sweating, undo. If you're crying, undo." Good advice for relationships and user experience design. Interfaces shouldn't be a strife, a struggle uphill, nor make you bleed, sweat, or cry. Interfaces should be generous, the kindness kind, quietly ecstatic, and forgiving. Gmail Labs' "Undo Send" extension gets this right (without the cognitive load of previous attempts like scheduled sends). All forms of send/post/tweet verbs should be as forgiving. If you're regretting your sending, undo. See related article on Undo Send: http://gigaom.com/collaboration/google-tweaks-gmails-undo-send-labs-feature/
On a train to Brighton listening to Björk. Next stop: Taylor Street Baristas for coffee and lunch ETA 12:30. Recharging in the bright sun... "All that she said was true. All that she meant was good."
