Usability: Suspending and Resuming Shuffle

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

So I'm actually using my old iPod again rather than using the ultra-fantastic Pandora (highly recommended by the way) and I had an idea for a feature it should have. Keep in mind I'm several generations behind on my personal media player so this may be in the current iteration. What I'd like to be able to do is suspend shuffle mode, listen to a few songs by the artist that came up in shuffle, and finally resume shuffle mode. That's it. I can do this but it requires navigating through multiple menus. Not so convenient.

I just don't feel funny this week.

Flat Organization: The "Lost" Episodes

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

Before I started putting the comic directly on my blog, I had a few other episodes of Flat Organization. Since many people never click through to my BitStrips page I'm going to lump all of the "missing" episodes into this one post. I could post them individually but that seems more annoying and like it would require more effort. Apologies to those that have already seen these.

Nobody Paints Baby in a Corner

Unfortunately this week's comic just feels like I'm getting more and more bitter. Maybe the next one will be funny.

Gracie Cameo in The Incredible Hulk

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

There are quite a few little cameos in The Incredible Hulk but the one I was happiest at having spotted was Rickson Gracie. Remember in Portuguese that 'R' sounds like an 'H', so it's pronounced "Hickson." Unfortunately they've listed him as an Akido instructor despite the fact that he's a bad ass in the family business of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I know it doesn't sound like it, but that's a colossal fuck up in martial arts land. Besides that it's a fair movie but after all the rumors about heavy editing changing the nature of the film I'd really like to see what the original "Norton" version was like. Maybe 25 years from now we can have 8 versions of it like Blade Runner.

Flat Organization: Have Laptop, Will Travel

Friday, October 24th, 2008

Yeah, I'm not doing so well at sticking to the new "publish once a week" experiment. I either need a new rule allowing overflow or need to be more willing to stockpile these crappy jokes.

Flat Organization: Our Next CEO

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

While I'm going to try and publish once a week, I have a hard time sitting on finished comics. I just can't resist the temptation to do two this week.

Flat Organization: This Doesn't Feel Agile

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

Hey, we're so agile we're bordering on chaos.

Flat Organization: Sales Ninja

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

I think I'm going to just start putting my infrequently updated comic directly onto the blog. This will allow my to jam my junk in more peoples' faces and allow people to comment on the comic without having to create a Bitstrips account. I'm also going to try and update the comic at least once a week. We'll see how that goes.
