Tea Brewing Standard

From “Wikipedia: ISO 3103“:

ISO 3103 is a standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (commonly referred to as ISO), specifying a standardized method for brewing tea. It was originally laid down in 1980 as BS 6008:1980[1]. It was produced by ISO Technical Committee 34 (Food products), Sub-Committee 8 (Tea).

Funny! I’m sure Mr. Rose is a fervent adept.

TUAW's 1.1.3 iPhone Update Liveblog

From: “1.1.3 iPhone Update Liveblog“:

It’s time to kiss my beautiful jailbreaked iPhone goodbye and to surrender to the inevitability of the 1.1.3 update. Goodbye delightful shell access. Goodbye beautiful 3rd party applications. I’m upgrading for the sake of my readers–and hopefully downgrading soon after! Read on for the liveblog…

I salute you, Erica, for taking a bullet for the team once more. :)

Read/WriteTalk Speaks with the New Mozilla CEO

From “Read/WriteTalk: John Lilly – CEO, Mozilla“:

In the interview we review both the lessons he’s learned at Mozilla and his plans for the organization in the future. I also think many of the leaders at DataPortability.org will find his comments quite interesting.

Interesting. Very interesting!

And while I’m at it: See “New Video Explains the Basics of Data Portability“, if you’re unclear on the subject.

Best Skateboarding Movie in Years

I watched Lakai Footwear‘s Fully Flared last night (thanks Stevey). Saying it’s the best sk8 video I have seen in years wouldn’t quite do it justice. It’s absolutely insane and I cannot recommend it enough.

My two favourite thrashers in the movie as far as style and technique, if I had to choose: Marc Johnson (by far) and Anthony Pappalardo.

I’m not going to say much more since I don’t want to spoil it for you, but do yourself a favour and go buy (or rent) it. You won’t regret it.

Oh, did I mention Spike Jonze was on the directors crew? Nuf’ said! :)

Update: I had to change the embedded video to a trailer, because it turns out the intro I had linked to got taken off YouTube. Oops. Just check out Lakai’s video archive for more clips.
