I quit getting alerts for everything during SXSW. My phone thanked me for it.....

Your phone must be really happy today.

I just checked Twitter, my phone vibrated with excitement at the prospect of having been saved from 238 alerts today.Kali Durga wrote:Your phone must be really happy today.

Jack White + Jack Black = Jack Grey
So, flatter the morons and piss off your most ardent fans? Must be a slow day at TMR.

Re: Jack White + Jack Black = Jack Grey
I had to chuckle over it and the follow-up Tim Burton stream, but it was probably easier for me to laugh about it because I don't do the Twitter thing on my phone, only on the internet

Re: Random Third Man Discussions
Either Jack White and Jack Black are starring in a Tim Burton movie called Jack Grey or Jack is just really bored now that he's stopped touring.
Or they really do want to lose some followers.

I was reading an article in The Guardian today about Quintron and thought this might fit here.
"The second prototype, Weather Witch, was an attempt to “productize” the invention for sale by Jack White’s Third Man Records. “It turned out not to be a good idea; customer support would have made it not feasible,” says Quintron, who gave up after a year of struggle. He did gain valuable knowledge from the experience, as well as some wild memories. “One weekend we were at Third Man … Neil Young was recording an album there and we watched. He checked out the invention. At one point he picked up a light sensor. He immediately did something really musical with,” Quintron laughs, “Some people can make music with anything they touch. He picked it up and a little song emerged.”
