Eh, not really. My anti-fanboy fanboyism is not based in logic, like most people's dislike of fanboys is. It's based solely on being invested in the anti-fanboy ecosystem and system of beliefs.

Doesn't stop there.

Well stated. The thing is there are, real world 'sunk costs' that should cause you to stick with your ecosystem. The problem is entirely as you (and Throin) say, that the act of keeping with an ecosystem causes you to irrationally demonize the competition and give yourself an unwarranted post-purchase self-esteem…

Ha! Depends on the reasoning, I suppose.

I like the advice from the #1 video. My two takeaways: 1. Keep your build even from the beginning and 2. Get a good case and reuse it.

Yes, the worst is the manager who likes to 'ride to the rescue.' Saving the villain customer and making the valiant employee look like a fool for doing his job.

Yeah, it's really frustrating being technologically literate and having to deal with them. The problem is that the first 10 steps they walk you through usually work for the dumb masses of unhappy customers, so to them, it makes complete sense to make customers first walk through the dum-dum stuff.

Guess what that conversation sounds like, probably something like: "Don't…

I get a good feeling inside for not throwing a tantrum because I'm not 'that a-hole that I hate.'

Until I found this app, I didn't type in landscape because the keyboard would generally take too much room on the screen. You couldn't see the app you were typing in, just the text box. (see my OP for screenshots) I'm much more likely to type in landscape on my tablet, which has a little more real estate.

Maybe he should try soccer. I hear you don't have to throw.

Yeah. I have a really hard time buying nice quality clothes for some reason. Above $50 and I start thinking, "this is getting too expensive for something I could reasonably spend $30 for."

Me while I'm ironing: "Why the hell do I buy 100% cotton shirts? From now on, all of my new shirts will be a blend "no iron" types!

Just tested it out. Pretty neat. I don't see the animated gif yet on the url, but I bet that just takes a few minutes(?). It would be great to easily show menus/mouse clicks for how-tos that involve hitting menu options.

Creating a Meal Plan has been a godsend for us. I am horrible at looking at the available ingredients in the fridge/pantry and visualizing what meals I can make with them. Having a list of a few meals that I know we've planned for and have the ingredients to save me from my horrible thought process, "I should start…
