You Should Follow Daring Fireball on Twitter ★

A few months ago I started an official DF Twitter feed. Everything I post to Daring Fireball gets posted to Twitter automatically. Effectively, it’s a Twitter version of the DF RSS feed.

(Yes, some Twitter clients don’t correctly parse the ✪df.ws URLs. That’s because these Twitter clients have bugs. Also, yes, when you open one of these URLs in Firefox on Mac OS X, you have to manually hit Reload. Again, this is a bug in Firefox. Don’t ask me to use another domain name for the shortened URLs. If no one uses IDN domain names, what will motivate developers to fix (or work around) IDN bugs?)

Bob Sheppard Officially Steps Aside as the Public Address Voice of the New York Yankees ★

The man whom Reggie Jackson dubbed “The Voice of God” officially retires at age 99.

Amazon’s Apple Store ★

Huge discounts from Amazon on Apple kit. E.g., the current price for a new white MacBook is just $884.98 — savings of $114 off the regular price. iPods, MacBooks, iMacs — all on sale. Shop from this link (for anything from Amazon) and I’ll get a kickback.
