Wow, didn’t expect that. AOL’s own new mobile client software. Looks like the Y! Go 2.0 client up side down. 🙂
Disclaimer: I worked on Y! Go last year. 🙂

What FlashLite content is selling Japan
Good thoughtful insight on the business side of FlashLite in Japan.
The last broadcast of KQED Pacific Time is tonight.
It’s been 7 years since 2000. The radio show about Pacific Asia and Asian American is coming to an end tonight. It’s a radio show I always look forward to when I drive home from work, or try to catch up on iTunes Podcast when I was at Germany.
I am angry.
What the fuck is the KQED pledge drive for? Isn’t the pledge drive all about keeping shows like Pacific Time alive? Why is one of the best and the most unique local radio to the Bay Area being canceled? I don’t understand.
More details here. The profanity is because I am really upset at KQED.
Designers Are Wankers
With a book title like that, the book has to be good. Edited and intro by Lee McCormack. I don’t think that’s the same Lee Mc that I used to work with. I hope.
Bender’s 86 Rules of Boozing (on your mobile)
New mobile service by Russ. Text BENDER @ 41411. You’ll get one of the 86 rules back. Good times.
Processing Sister Project – Processing Mobile
Check out the site here. Only a few projects are up at the moment, but this should be interesting over time.

Yodlee 1. Mint 0.
So much hype around Mint. Anyone can sign up now. I gave it a go today. None of my accounts works on Mint, or I got stuck on downloading data or what not. What’s going on? Digg effect?
Time to go back to Yodlee – pretty much does all the “See all your accounts in one place” thing minus “Find a lower price on your everyday bills” (to me is just marketing stuff anyway), plus Yodlee gives me a good overview of all my retirement and investment accounts too – which Mint doesn’t support.
Good times.
Where have all the Designers (Heroes) gone?
When I was in school, the designers I look up to are Neville Brody, Clement, the three Michaels (can you name all three of them?), David Carson (I still have the first Ray Gun magazine somewhere), Paul Rand, Designers Republic, Peter Saville, etc. etc… They all have their distinct styles.
I am totally out of touch these days, I have no clue who are the designers design students look up to these days. Or do they look up to any “Designer Heroes” at all?
Also, I was very lucky to have worked with Clement and Susan Kare in the past… Food for thoughts….
