I didn’t get to swim today because I had sprained ankle wrapped.

The weird thing is that last night, I vividly remember waking up to take a picture of my ankle for the purpose of posting it here. But when I just checked my phone just now, there’s no picture! Dammit!

Anyways, I came across this new site called PostPost.

What it does is that it creates your very own Facebook newspaper.

The whole layout is pretty sweet. At one glance, you can quickly sift through all the stuff that your friends posted.

I actually get to see much more stuff that I would normally have if I was just scrolling down the news feed. Now it makes more sense to “Like” certain pages.

Try it!

So here’s a video I watch this morning taken from TechCrunch which I found rather interesting.

But our annual love for Apple remains mostly unrequited. We shower them with awards and praise, and they don’t even send so much as an intern to accept their monkey statues. In the past, we’ve filled the sad, awkward void with humor.

But this year with Apple CEO Steve Jobs back on medical leave that didn’t seem fitting. Instead I tracked down some of the industry’s biggest luminaries including Facebook founderMark Zuckerberg, Foursquare founder Dennis Crowley, LinkedIn founder/Greylock partnerReid Hoffman, DreamWorks founder Jeffrey Katzenberg and Kleiner Perkin’s John Doerr to do the acceptance speech for Apple. I asked why they thought the iPad was more than just a cool device.

To me the best line came from John Doerr where he shared a story of a jounalist asking Steve Jobs what market research Apple does for building products. To which he replied,

“It’s not the consumers job to figure out what they want.”

LEGEN – Wait for it – DARY!
