Rounded Corners 265 — Recommended

Drinking game. MongoDB gotchas for the unaware user. Just a few to get you started. For the next party, we’re going to have a MongoDB gotchas drinking game. That will be quite the event no one will remember.

Swipe. Cool trick you can pull with WebKit image masks and animation.

Sparrow. I didn’t like their beta, but the 1.0 release of Sparrow is growing on me. It got the speed and the simplicity that GMail lost somewhere along the way. If you didn’t like it before, give it a second try.

Tower. Speaking of desktop applications, check out Tower, a new full-featured Git client for the Mac. As you can expect, most things are actually more cumbersome and slower with the GUI, but the few places where the command line tools are lacking (browsing history, partial commits) are where Tower shines.

Trunk.ly. All the links I share with you on my Twitter account are now fed into my Trunk.ly page, where they get tagged and become searchable. I wrote this edition of Rounded Corners by curating my Trunk.ly timeline.

Awesome waffle iron, via happy things.

  1. Glad you’re finding Trunk.ly useful!

    Looking at the links you’ve shared here, it might interest you to know that most of the database is built on MongoDB.

  2. Sparrow is pretty, I just wish it had the power of Gmail’s search.

    Dumb thought: Also, if it’s name is Sparrow why is it a Gmail client? Shouldn’t it be a Twitter client?
