Waze (a social driving-directions app for iPhone and Android) has updated to allow voice commands. You don’t even need an iPhone 4S or Siri to take advantage of it. They’ve even built in hands-free activation.

I haven’t used Waze for a few years, but I’ll be turning it back on today. The voice commands are pretty limited now, but I imagine they’ll become more expansive in future updates.

Get Waze.

DOUBLE FINE ADVENTURE

You guys. This is an unbelievable thing.

Overnight, through Kickstarter, the fans of Double Fine Productions have exceeded the goal for funding the next amazing game. I cannot believe how wonderful the fans have been to Double Fine through the years. It makes tears happen on my face. I am proud to have been a part of the Double Fine family all these years.

This particular project is rules, you guys. Because it is getting back to the adventure game roots! But also, it involves YOU the COMMUNITY! Watch the video for it to see what i mean. Backers are involved in the process and the documentary they are making along the way will shed light on the awesome process that goes into making a game. Oh, man, this is going to be the best.

so anyway, the higher it goes over the goal means the more platforms it will be for and the better the game will be. So you can still be a part of it, if you want.

Thank you, everyone, who has ever supported Double Fine through these years. You are great people.

this will seriously rule, you guys. damn.

love, scott c.

Pretty incredible. Click the links above and back this great project.

Full disclosure, “Camp Vibes” is the slogan for Poler. Great stuff.

It's Time to Give GoDaddy a Break

It's Time to Give GoDaddy a Break:

Marco Armant, creator of Instapaper, sums up my own feelings on this article from Mashable’s Todd Wasserman .

I disagree. Even if you’re OK with their support of SOPA, their sexist and tasteless commercials, and their elephant-killing CEO, they’re still a terrible registrar: their upselling is misleading, sneaky, and sleazy, their control panel is horrendously confusing, slow, and buggy (like the rest of their site), their DNS servers are unreliable and randomly ignore changes you make, their support is terrible, and they often block outbound transfers for no apparent reason. They don’t deserve “a break”.

Robert Reich: My Political Prediction for 2012: It's Obama-Clinton

Robert Reich: My Political Prediction for 2012: It's Obama-Clinton:

robertreich:

My political prediction for 2012 (based on absolutely no inside information): Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden swap places. Biden becomes Secretary of State — a position he’s apparently coveted for years. And Hillary Clinton, Vice President.

So the Democratic ticket for 2012 is Obama-Clinton.

Why…

!? (thumbs up)

Go Daddy's Position On SOPA

Go Daddy's Position On SOPA:

PSA: Go Daddy supports SOPA. I’d urge you to read their statement before losing your shit over it, but if you’re in opposition to SOPA in any way, I’d suggest taking your business elsewhere.
