you know it speaking of the the old talk show you know this was last week I think
[TS]
00:00:05
◼
►
commemorated I guess it was announced it would have been a week before I skip to
[TS]
00:00:08
◼
►
show that it's it's a year since I started doing the show here at me and
[TS]
00:00:15
◼
►
then didn't commemorate the year
[TS]
00:00:16
◼
►
a week what will have happy anniversary
[TS]
00:00:20
◼
►
that's exciting one year has gone by pretty quickly and power the how are the
[TS]
00:00:27
◼
►
hot hot under the collar longtime fans who who were like kind of not so happy
[TS]
00:00:36
◼
►
about your transition you know i i don't really look at the iTunes I don't hear
[TS]
00:00:41
◼
►
from any more nobody got some email at first but most of it was in the iTunes
[TS]
00:00:46
◼
►
comments and I don't look at them that much anymore but still show up this all
[TS]
00:00:54
◼
►
seems like there's every once in a while I'll look at the comments and there's
[TS]
00:00:57
◼
►
one and I think well as an alt comment because there's somebody commenting on
[TS]
00:01:01
◼
►
it like it just happened and then a look at the data owner comment yesterday and
[TS]
00:01:06
◼
►
it's very mean I get over it you know what I I was actually thinking of you
[TS]
00:01:11
◼
►
and thinking about all the whole way that played out recently when I was just
[TS]
00:01:17
◼
►
kind of Washington commiserating with you know commiserating from afar
[TS]
00:01:21
◼
►
actually with Marco Arment about this whole you know everyone's giving you a
[TS]
00:01:24
◼
►
hard time about how much he did or didn't maker should or shouldn't be nice
[TS]
00:01:29
◼
►
to people and all this stuff and it's just that certain that there's a certain
[TS]
00:01:34
◼
►
kind of personality out there that I think no matter who you are if you have
[TS]
00:01:39
◼
►
some level of success I'm going to try to chip away at it was going to try to
[TS]
00:01:42
◼
►
find find
[TS]
00:01:45
◼
►
I think it's like just like it's like a defensive gesture on their part maybe
[TS]
00:01:51
◼
►
like explain I don't need to be may be jealous or envious of this person
[TS]
00:01:55
◼
►
anymore because they're actually
[TS]
00:01:56
◼
►
horrible person who you know once changed a feature and Instapaper that
[TS]
00:02:02
◼
►
made me somebody mad I don't know what it is but there's like there's two types
[TS]
00:02:07
◼
►
of people as well as more than two tax but there's at least two times people
[TS]
00:02:10
◼
►
one major group of them is this group of people who are like with you and for you
[TS]
00:02:14
◼
►
and strongly in support of everything you do and tell you do this one thing
[TS]
00:02:18
◼
►
we're like oh I thought you were about you were some kind of superhero I also
[TS]
00:02:25
◼
►
think and I think Marco is of particular magnet for this is especially his recent
[TS]
00:02:30
◼
►
run of 17 what's up with that Jesus Christ is selling everything but I think
[TS]
00:02:36
◼
►
he's a particular magnet for this because he's is recent run is a couple
[TS]
00:02:45
◼
►
of things or even really sell the number but he was part of it so he you know he
[TS]
00:02:48
◼
►
did he benefited because you know he had some sliver of a stake in it and it sold
[TS]
00:02:55
◼
►
for 27 gazillion dollars and his personality and the way he is so he's
[TS]
00:03:04
◼
►
not abrasive but he doesn't bend in the face of jackasses
[TS]
00:03:10
◼
►
yeah and and what I think he's a magnet for is that there's a certain segment of
[TS]
00:03:14
◼
►
people out there who feel that if you have or if somebody else has been
[TS]
00:03:19
◼
►
successful and clearly successful then there there are free target for just any
[TS]
00:03:27
◼
►
anything you want to throw at them because it's fair game because they've
[TS]
00:03:30
◼
►
had some kind of success and you can just sort of and and just like let off
[TS]
00:03:36
◼
►
steam in their direction yeah actually thought about this when I was talking on
[TS]
00:03:40
◼
►
my putting show with Jackie Chang from formerly of course you still with us
[TS]
00:03:45
◼
►
technical but the famous Jackie tang and we're talking about this like spectrum
[TS]
00:03:48
◼
►
of celebrity where it's like I think people are so used to for tens hundreds
[TS]
00:03:56
◼
►
of years if you knew somebody's name and didn't know them personally
[TS]
00:04:01
◼
►
then they must be so famous that they could take anything that's a perfect way
[TS]
00:04:06
◼
►
to put it that's a good way to put it
[TS]
00:04:07
◼
►
yeah because it will have its kinda like a modern it's kinda like a modern
[TS]
00:04:11
◼
►
affordances of modern technology that we are afforded like small-scale
[TS]
00:04:19
◼
►
celebrities right like people like you would never have been on the radar of
[TS]
00:04:25
◼
►
anybody right I mean not nice to dismiss what you doing but in the old days maybe
[TS]
00:04:32
◼
►
you would've gotten a job at CBS Radio or something but if you didn't and you
[TS]
00:04:36
◼
►
were just kinda toiling away your stuff then you wouldn't have the site kind of
[TS]
00:04:41
◼
►
tailored made kind of fan base and I think that there's a built-in
[TS]
00:04:48
◼
►
misunderstanding of how celebrities can be treated right and then I was saying
[TS]
00:04:55
◼
►
to Jackie that actually opened my eyes a little bit to the fact that you know
[TS]
00:04:58
◼
►
even the real celebrities I miss guilty of it is anybody I'd say like oh sure
[TS]
00:05:02
◼
►
Madonna can take some ribbing or something but you can step back and take
[TS]
00:05:07
◼
►
a look at like what famous people we know quote-unquote famous people all the
[TS]
00:05:12
◼
►
way up to really famous people and you say you know that John the think tank in
[TS]
00:05:18
◼
►
your mind of the most famous the most legitimate Lee famous person that you
[TS]
00:05:22
◼
►
know well enough to make this judgment about and say doesn't that person like
[TS]
00:05:27
◼
►
actually get their feelings hurt when somebody's total jackass to them and I
[TS]
00:05:34
◼
►
think it's true I think some of us may be hardened to it more than others but I
[TS]
00:05:42
◼
►
got a standard Jackie I bet there's some part of Barack Obama whose like it don't
[TS]
00:05:47
◼
►
you know that's not fair
[TS]
00:05:51
◼
►
anyway that's something that I think people need to catch up to this thats
[TS]
00:05:56
◼
►
hopefully it'll help lead people to understand a lot of what I think people
[TS]
00:06:01
◼
►
view as judging demarco judging judging you judging me judging anybody on her
[TS]
00:06:09
◼
►
behavior and how we handle you know criticism or whatever is it's it's
[TS]
00:06:15
◼
►
failing to acknowledge that that's that's kind of an unusual circumstance
[TS]
00:06:18
◼
►
having that much feedback and having that much exposure to people
[TS]
00:06:23
◼
►
yeah and I almost feel like we don't have a good word for it because I you
[TS]
00:06:27
◼
►
know I'm not a celebrity celebrity is clearly the wrong word but there are way
[TS]
00:06:32
◼
►
more people who know me than I could possibly now and that is something and
[TS]
00:06:37
◼
►
that's and that's not a natural right now thousands of generations of human
[TS]
00:06:46
◼
►
development you to people who knew you and the people who you know is pretty
[TS]
00:06:50
◼
►
much one to one and maybe you were the tribal leader and slightly more people
[TS]
00:06:57
◼
►
knew you then you knew but you still saw their faces right you were still the
[TS]
00:07:01
◼
►
tribal leader to most most cases hundreds are probably not you know i
[TS]
00:07:08
◼
►
mean that that was the exception and that's really closer to you know if
[TS]
00:07:12
◼
►
you're like a king or something like that it's closer to what do you know the
[TS]
00:07:17
◼
►
regular meaning of celebrities yeah it's a relationship
[TS]
00:07:23
◼
►
disparity what you have speaking a well-known people I should say who you r
[TS]
00:07:27
◼
►
everybody always complains because I like start to show you know cold open
[TS]
00:07:32
◼
►
but you know people may not know the things I always assumed to the people
[TS]
00:07:36
◼
►
look at the show this is the disco little Matt on podcasting I assume that
[TS]
00:07:42
◼
►
with the talk show that when the new episode comes in whatever app you're
[TS]
00:07:46
◼
►

[TS]
00:07:50
◼
►
name like first as a special guest Daniel jacket joins John Gruber for work
[TS]
00:07:56
◼
►

[TS]
00:07:59
◼
►
description every time so that you can see all here's who's on the talk show

◼
►

[TS]
00:08:22
◼
►
relationship disparity that's what I call it my fault as you can ask to be on
[TS]
00:08:26
◼
►
I have to ask you but I don't know why I've never ever had you on before it
[TS]
00:08:31

[TS]
00:08:37
◼
►
booster for your show so I'm very happy to see you still doing it and and I was
[TS]
00:08:42
◼
►
for what it's worth not among the hot-headed you know frazzled masses when
[TS]
00:08:48
◼
►
you decide to move over to your radio and you doing a great job there so this
[TS]
00:08:54
◼
►
is working well and are at the bottom line is I I like the show better and
[TS]
00:09:01
◼

[TS]
00:09:09
◼
►

[TS]
00:09:13
◼
►
that you like or whatever if it's in you know you're making apps if you're making
[TS]
00:09:17
◼
►
anything if you're not making something that you yourself like you're gonna be
[TS]
00:09:21
◼
►
miserable I i dont know I can't imagine how anybody would be able to work on
[TS]
00:09:25
◼
►
something if they don't like the thing that they're working on it they're going
[TS]
00:09:29
◼
►
to be miserable you're getting back at you know not to harp on this but you
[TS]
00:09:32
◼
►
getting back at that whole like judging successful people saying where there is
[TS]
00:09:38
◼
►
a huge amount of expectation for like continued service to some PRI's
[TS]
00:09:46
◼
►
previously presumed promise like for example just just to harp on the market
[TS]
00:09:52
◼
►
situation a little bit there are some people out there who undoubtedly feel
[TS]
00:09:57
◼
►
that Marcos commitment must be should have remained and should remain until he
[TS]
00:10:06
◼
►
dies or Intel
[TS]
00:10:07
◼
►
computers are obsolete to work on Instapaper with say right and you know
[TS]
00:10:14
◼
►
or for example that you're never you know I don't anticipate you giving up
[TS]
00:10:18
◼
►
during fireball starting a new blog but if you did
[TS]
00:10:23
◼
►
merely changing just merely ditching during fireball starting a new blog you
[TS]
00:10:30
◼
►
let's say let's say for whatever reason to be decided it's not making you happy
[TS]
00:10:34
◼
►
looking at looking at that blog looking at the articles that come out of it
[TS]
00:10:38
◼
►
you're you're unhappy you decide this is for me I'm gonna start a new blog people
[TS]
00:10:43
◼
►
should be happy for you at that point but they wouldn't be there would be
[TS]
00:10:45
◼
►
saying you killed you killed during fire
[TS]
00:10:49
◼
►
well it would be a vocal minority though like one thing I have found over the
[TS]
00:10:53
◼
►
years and you know and and clearly during fire buzz has become very
[TS]
00:10:57
◼
►
successful I do get a lot of emails from readers and stuff like that most of them
[TS]
00:11:02
◼
►
are just terrific really I mean just it's just amazing and and and I do feel
[TS]
00:11:08
◼
►
like it's it's like the polar opposite of having comments on a blog right where
[TS]
00:11:15
◼
►
a you know an end and I have not had comments the whole time you know like
[TS]
00:11:19
◼
►
people who are in late too daring fireball often think that maybe I've
[TS]
00:11:24
◼
►
turned off comments because audiences so big and it you know and it turned bad
[TS]
00:11:29
◼
►
but I didn't have a min when I had literally like in 2002 when I got
[TS]
00:11:36
◼
►
started like a hundred page views a day and and you know sixty unique visitors I
[TS]
00:11:43
◼
►
didn't happen then either I mean I didn't want him but I think everybody
[TS]
00:11:47
◼
►
knows that if you do have comments for better for worse a lot of them a very
[TS]
00:11:52
◼
►
significant proportion of them are from jackasses whereas and I think see I
[TS]
00:11:59
◼
►
think the reason is is that the jackasses who like to meet jack ass
[TS]
00:12:02
◼
►
comments on my weblog do it because they know that pub the thing is going to be
[TS]
00:12:08
◼
►
you know it's a sort of look at me
[TS]
00:12:10
◼
►
right anonymously it's this anonymous I can be a jackass and get away with it
[TS]
00:12:15
◼
►
urged that that certain personalities have whereas if it's all private they
[TS]
00:12:20
◼
►
don't did they get nothing out so I don't get i get very very very very
[TS]
00:12:25
◼
►
little I mean like you know and fully year emails that I would consider the
[TS]
00:12:31
◼
►
equivalent of comment jackass hurry I get lots of emails from people who
[TS]
00:12:36
◼
►
disagree with me I get lots of emails from people who just want to say that
[TS]
00:12:41
◼
►
they agree with me and that they really like the site but all of it is great i
[TS]
00:12:45
◼
►
mean almost all of it is just super super respectful especially the stuff
[TS]
00:12:49
◼
►
from people who disagree with me and then and I like those emails him better
[TS]
00:12:52
◼
►
than the ones that agree with him because it gives me more to think about
[TS]
00:12:55
◼
►
but it's by email and by any other thing too is on Twitter I it's I think that
[TS]
00:13:02
◼
►
the people you know who who
[TS]
00:13:05
◼
►
reply me based on their entire book content are great but it's because their
[TS]
00:13:09
◼
►
name is on her Twitter account right yeah there's something to that and he
[TS]
00:13:15
◼
►
said you know that the vast majority of comments are like you know jerks or
[TS]
00:13:20
◼
►
whatever that is that is something that becomes more true as the popularity
[TS]
00:13:25
◼
►
scales for the site so if you did have it if you had happens to turn on
[TS]
00:13:28
◼
►
comments on day one I bet you would have had close to 100% thoughtful meaningful
[TS]
00:13:34
◼
►
comments but then you would have had to suffer that gradual decline as people
[TS]
00:13:39
◼
►
like it's like like if there was like a bridge overpass that nobody thought
[TS]
00:13:46
◼
►
there would be there be no graffiti on it right but then like if they put it by
[TS]
00:13:51
◼
►
pathfinder it then there'll be a ton of graffiti up there because it's so
[TS]
00:13:56
◼
►
interesting target now but I you know it's funny as i've i've you know me I
[TS]
00:14:02
◼
►
kinda like my high horse on some issues in a special
[TS]
00:14:07
◼
►
so much the first and last appearance on the taxes let me get on my horse nobody
[TS]
00:14:16
◼
►
has a higher horse of a specialized staircase to get up on my high horse but
[TS]
00:14:25
◼
►
I've been like the guy who defends comments like on a philosophical level
[TS]
00:14:32
◼
►
right now been like I owe everything to my comments because when I started red
[TS]
00:14:38
◼
►
sweater blog I had no readers and you know it's like it's like you're saying
[TS]
00:14:42
◼
►
John hundred readers maybe they took me awhile to get a hundred readers and and
[TS]
00:14:47
◼
►
I did have comments and I thought that it helped me to grow that like small
[TS]
00:14:50
◼
►
community and I think that's true for a lot of people but I did face this
[TS]
00:14:55
◼
►
question when I started my new blog it's putting blog and I have to confess I
[TS]
00:15:03
◼
►
didn't make a big deal out of it but there's no comments on that blog and I
[TS]
00:15:07
◼
►
just kind of said you know what I'd give this a try so you can chalk that up to
[TS]
00:15:14
◼
►
getting off my high horse
[TS]
00:15:18
◼
►
growth don't you think though that the rise of Twitter and sort of
[TS]
00:15:25
◼
►
establishment of twitter-like as traders you know it's came out what 2006 and
[TS]
00:15:30
◼
►
really explode in 2007 2008 among our crowd and now by now it's it's so old
[TS]
00:15:38
◼
►
that it's hard to imagine it got to the point you can imagine what life was like
[TS]
00:15:42
◼
►
without it and it really does help though it's it's not the same as
[TS]
00:15:45
◼
►
comments on your site it's not the same but it's an interesting middle ground
[TS]
00:15:49
◼
►
because their public and because you can safely assume that anybody who might
[TS]
00:15:56
◼
►
want to Twitter account has one
[TS]
00:15:59
◼
►
yeah I think it i think thats helps maybe what you're getting at is it made
[TS]
00:16:05
◼
►
it easier for me to make that decision
[TS]
00:16:07
◼
►
to know that I have a connection with people who want to have a connection and
[TS]
00:16:11
◼
►
it is valuable for it to be public and it is it is a welcome email comments but
[TS]
00:16:16
◼
►
there is he said something to public comments being on the record and helps
[TS]
00:16:22
◼
►
the discourse I think I'm both sides when it's working correctly
[TS]
00:16:27
◼
►
yeah it's definitely is discourse you know and I think it definitely you know
[TS]
00:16:31
◼
►
i mean i i i i read almost all my I know I can keep up with me but I can I do not
[TS]
00:16:40
◼
►
think keeping up with my twitter is is easy I think it's I think it's one of
[TS]
00:16:46
◼
►
the greatest things and I think it really helped make during fireball a

better site I really do just from the feedback you mean yeah I really do but
[TS]
00:16:55
◼
►
in a way that comment would not have well thats that it's like the email so
[TS]
00:17:00
◼
►
it's similar to him to the comparison to email in that it's sort of like
[TS]
00:17:05
◼
►
predictable format of Twitter feed back the reason you can stay caught up on
[TS]
00:17:10
◼
►
Twitter messages this because you know you kinda know how to parse each one and
[TS]
00:17:15
◼
►
you get an email and it's like three paragraphs long you know what's in the
[TS]
00:17:19
◼
►
first i've i've read this and it's from read this i've i've i've thought about
[TS]
00:17:30
◼
►
this and it's part of the genius of Twitter and I truly mean it and it's in
[TS]
00:17:35
◼
►
that sense of nobody gives it the credit it deserves because it's so obvious but
[TS]
00:17:41
◼
►
it's only obvious in hindsight is that they forced brevity of Twitter means
[TS]
00:17:48
◼
►
that you don't have to open messages to read them because the thing you see in
[TS]
00:17:56
◼
►
the list of tweets is that we because it's so short you don't have to have a
[TS]
00:18:00
◼
►
separate open mode vs what it is that in the list and Europe its did it it fits
[TS]
00:18:09
◼
►
with the way that we're our minds are hooked up to read because you just
[TS]
00:18:15
◼
►
scroll scroll through the thing
[TS]
00:18:18
◼
►
and you receive it on reading you know if you're a fast reader you can really
[TS]
00:18:23
◼
►
get through them quickly in a way that that if if your Twitter client were set
[TS]
00:18:29
◼
►
up like an email client would you be the stupidest idea for Twitter at all but if
[TS]
00:18:33
◼
►
it just showed you know something like the equivalent of a subject and you had
[TS]
00:18:37
◼
►
to like just our oh through them one at a time to actually read the tweets
[TS]
00:18:42
◼
►
I'd never be able to keep up its the fact that I can use my eyeballs rather
[TS]
00:18:46
◼
►
than anything else to to to keep up with them all they have to do is look at them
[TS]
00:18:51
◼
►
to read them kids genius right yeah I agree and they speaking of my high horse
[TS]
00:18:55
◼
►
that's one of the many reasons that I'm just like passionately against these
[TS]
00:19:01
◼
►
services like tweet longer I just don't tell me the to me the acceptable
[TS]
00:19:11
◼
►
transgression is a multi multi tweet that ideally limited to two tweets by
[TS]
00:19:19
◼
►
then after that it's like okay you should be writing a blog post or
[TS]
00:19:23
◼
►
something but at least it still has the characteristic in a tent ideally if it's
[TS]
00:19:28
◼
►
if it's like two in rapid succession than even for you or anybody else
[TS]
00:19:33
◼
►
skimming it you still sort of read it completely visible as a continuous thing
[TS]
00:19:37
◼
►
but if you make somebody go on a link to read the rest of your Twitter thought
[TS]
00:19:44
◼
►
thats just like every time I see something I get 50% of the way down
[TS]
00:19:50
◼
►
person yeah exactly it's much much more so than mister some of ya back to the
[TS]
00:19:56
◼
►
point of being able to skip it and being able to process like much more than
[TS]
00:20:00
◼
►
maybe somebody following having path half of what they say be stuff you're
[TS]
00:20:06
◼
►
not interested in you can skip that and there's other genius things that have
[TS]
00:20:10
◼
►
come about you know like the evolution of Twitter like where the image
[TS]
00:20:14
◼
►
attachments which are really just URLs in the tweet because the tweet is really
[TS]
00:20:19
◼
►
just tax
[TS]
00:20:20
◼
►
but putting the thumbnail of them in the tweet it's great it's sound stupid began
[TS]
00:20:28
◼
►
again it seems so obvious in hindsight but when when clients for started doing
[TS]
00:20:32
◼
►
that it felt a little wrong because it felt like tweets were supposed to be
[TS]
00:20:35
◼
►
just text but you know clearly it's the right thing to do
[TS]
00:20:40
◼
►
yeah and that's that that's extended in the whole Twitter cards thing which I
[TS]
00:20:44
◼
►
think when it works well it works really well like another example of that is
[TS]
00:20:48
◼
►
absolutely incredible like App Store URL and then before you would just be like
[TS]
00:20:58
◼
►
what I'm gonna click this thing are now just shows up I think we've done the
[TS]
00:21:01
◼
►
clients I use shows up as a little thumbnail of the app yeah I can see that
[TS]
00:21:06
◼
►
is kind of like a way of of like Twitter and other companies moving in on style
[TS]
00:21:13
◼
►
and formatting of people's tweets but when it's like when it's kinda like when
[TS]
00:21:17
◼
►
you when you take the step to go a step of putting a URL in the content but I
[TS]
00:21:23
◼
►
think you're kind of like inviting any anybody who can make that more
[TS]
00:21:28
◼
►
digestible to readers

00:27:04
◼
►
thanks to finally just like biting the bullet and taking sponsors that was kind
[TS]
00:27:08
◼
►
of a wake-up call for me because I think I've been like gradually coming out of
[TS]
00:27:13
◼
►
growing up on Usenet they know the late eighties and early nineties thinking of
[TS]
00:27:22
◼
►
the internet as a non commercial space obviously do all my commerce on the
[TS]
00:27:28
◼
►
internet have grown past that but there's been some kind of block for me
[TS]
00:27:31
◼
►
for years like me don't you know you don't put ads on things or something
[TS]
00:27:35
◼
►
like that
[TS]
00:27:36
◼
►
well I was wrong about that but add that to my list of things I was wrong about
[TS]
00:27:39
◼
►
John your high horse my horse my horse is load is getting lighter but it's been
[TS]
00:27:46
◼
►
great for us to have sponsors not just because you know gives us a little money
[TS]
00:27:49
◼
►
to keep the momentum going but it's also a kind of a vote of confidence for the
[TS]
00:27:55
◼
►
show so yeah that's true to the strip now you've also got on this is the the
[TS]
00:28:01
◼
►
thing that's relatively recently as you started a new blog and now it's podcast
[TS]
00:28:07
◼
►
to under the bit splitting for and that's wedding dot org I guess it's the
[TS]
00:28:13
◼
►
home of both really yeah dorgan and I just typed podcast into / podcast
[TS]
00:28:19
◼
►
that all came about because you know as you remember jawed over the years I've
[TS]
00:28:25
◼
►
been blogging from red sweater blog company's blog and being up on my high
[TS]
00:28:32
◼
►
horse and doing all my ranting it always felt a little uncomfortable to me to
[TS]
00:28:37
◼
►
have that share space with what is supposedly some whites alike
[TS]
00:28:44
◼
►
issue neutral software company ya like it doesn't it was kind of a mixed
[TS]
00:28:51
◼
►
blessing because it was great when I would when I will blog about something
[TS]
00:28:54
◼
►
and it got some attention and people were thinking at around two then I think
[TS]
00:28:59
◼
►
there was a non negligible benefit to the company to income because I wasn't
[TS]
00:29:06
◼
►
charging for anything on my blog I wasn't having ads on my blog but people
[TS]
00:29:13
◼
►
go there they got products or product helped but there was always this nagging
[TS]
00:29:18
◼
►
feeling either that I shouldn't blog about something I shouldn't rant against
[TS]
00:29:25
◼
►
Apple I shouldn't complain about the most obvious types of things he
[TS]
00:29:31
◼
►
shouldn't complain about like customer behavior or something
[TS]
00:29:36
◼
►
yeah it's a delicate balance I know exactly what youre talking especially
[TS]
00:29:40
◼
►
and I think you know for you personally your personality particularly as I've
[TS]
00:29:45
◼
►
said several times you know you like to get up on it and that's a little bit
[TS]
00:29:50
◼
►
more it's a precarious spot when you want to you know it doesn't even have to
[TS]
00:29:59
◼
►
be politics I mean in in some sense it's all politics is not necessarily National
[TS]
00:30:04
◼
►
Fair politics but talking about the App Store is political in a sense yes and in
[TS]
00:30:09
◼
►
the classic sense but you you know you want to separate that from your software
[TS]
00:30:14
◼
►
business
[TS]
00:30:16
◼
►
yeah and then like lots of things that just didn't try to take a step back and
[TS]
00:30:21
◼
►
say not only like is this appropriate for say the red sweater blog but you
[TS]
00:30:27
◼
►
know as the company you know the company being just me but
[TS]
00:30:32
◼
►
nonetheless as the company gets more popular and has a wider reach and more
[TS]
00:30:36
◼
►
people have heard about it they go to the site and download the products they
[TS]
00:30:39
◼
►
think Oh I should maybe keep up with what this company is doing look at the
[TS]
00:30:44
◼
►
blog and c like well this is what Nokia is doing wrong
[TS]
00:30:48
◼
►
you know what what the heck does that have to do with anything right where
[TS]
00:30:52
◼
►
it's not even even if it's not about avoiding touchy subjects it that you
[TS]
00:30:57
◼
►
somehow feel like the red sweater blog really ought to be on topic for users of
[TS]
00:31:03
◼
►
red sweater software and anything that's not really on topic for the users or
[TS]
00:31:08
◼
►
would-be users of the software is potentially a distraction
[TS]
00:31:15
◼
►
yeah and then in the reverse is true as well as I was lucky enough to start
[TS]
00:31:19
◼
►
gaining this readership of people who were kind of maybe not even interested
[TS]
00:31:22
◼
►
in the products but interested in what I have to say I started feeling like oh
[TS]
00:31:27
◼
►
we're not going to like they're not going to like this like update about
[TS]
00:31:32
◼
►
fast groups like there's a disservice both audiences not to have like a
[TS]
00:31:37
◼
►
distinction between the two to service customers who just want to keep up to
[TS]
00:31:42
◼
►
date with company news
[TS]
00:31:44
◼
►
our company related stuff and the people who kind of stumbled in out of the tech

00:31:48
◼
►
greater tech world and wanted to keep up on my my rants and perspectives so I'm
[TS]
00:31:56
◼

pretty happy with the way it worked out so far just kind of just did a soft
[TS]
00:31:59
◼
►
launch of its putting the blog of several months ago now I guess I'm still
[TS]
00:32:05
◼
►
getting I'm not sure yet another part of this is I'm not really sure how much I
[TS]
00:32:09
◼
►
want to blog but it's really great to have my experience it's really great to
[TS]
00:32:13
◼
►
have an outlet for that at that moment where you're like oh yeah I have
[TS]
00:32:18
◼
►
something to say and eluding back to the Twitter thing when it doesn't fit in one
[TS]
00:32:23
◼
►
tweet or maybe at most two tweets that's when you really need that you need some
[TS]
00:32:28
◼
►
outlet and I think you mostly just do you must do everything through during
[TS]
00:32:33
◼
►
fire but I know you also have a tumblr
[TS]
00:32:36
◼
►
there must be some occasions when you when you're like this isn't really work
[TS]
00:32:40
◼
►
for you know I Ali I guess with tumblr in particular is probably your outlet
[TS]
00:32:45
◼
►
like when you want it you don't usually put photos up on during fireball but you
[TS]
00:32:52
◼
►
know anybody who has no new evil or even followed your work knows that's not
[TS]
00:32:58
◼
►
because you don't like photos just look November 2009 I guess that dates me huh
[TS]
00:33:07
◼
►
I think they've been waiting patiently 23 posts on it I don't know it's not
[TS]
00:33:13
◼
►
maybe it maybe I got a file that away the one I did have the other one that
[TS]
00:33:18
◼

◼
►
you know right crazy cats that tumblr.com but I haven't updated that
[TS]
00:33:37
◼
►
and that's that's an example of something that you wouldn't shy away
[TS]
00:33:41
◼
►
from on a like occasional basis on during fire but you still kind of
[TS]
00:33:46
◼
►
probably acknowledge that that's not as a whole
[TS]
00:33:50
◼
►
clogged up during fireball with that led to something like that but Joe in 2008 I

for like five or six episodes because we think we've got like five or six
[TS]
00:39:31
◼

episodes of car talk to talk about but that's an interesting idea to me because
[TS]
00:39:37
◼

it if you come into it up front with the idea that it's going to be a mini-series
[TS]
00:39:43

Friday it's time to do the show and then like the next week rolls around and it's
[TS]

I'm doing the podcasts is I have the freedom I can do this it's like I say I

show so that I could eventually work my way up to having anything like a terry

gross interview show right part of it the part of the reason we're doing i
[TS]
00:43:06
◼

mean that's truth and and you know you'll definitely helps mean because
[TS]
00:43:12
◼

they tend to the editing and posting and stuff like that so it's a lot of the
[TS]
00:43:15
◼

busy work as off my shoulders so that I can put more time endearing fireball and
[TS]
00:43:20
◼

less time on the infrastructure of the show where an end I don't know why for
[TS]
00:43:27
◼

whatever reason I don't mind I I wouldn't mind doing all of that for the
[TS]
00:43:31
◼

on fireball and so when there are like hosting problems or something like that

kind of annoying work like some of the sponsor booking and invoicing and junk
[TS]
00:44:02
◼

[TS]
00:44:06
◼

spent like ours today in doing the stuff that's not really my quote unquote job
[TS]
00:44:14

it out my thanks to Pocket Informant for sponsoring the show so packed your stuff
[TS]
00:51:52
◼
►
so here's a question for you as the guy who writes mars it which you didn't
[TS]
00:52:00
◼
►
start Brent senator Brent Simmons out you took over at bar it from Brent when
[TS]
00:52:08
◼
►
how long have you been doing Mars lol way longer now them printed yeah it's
[TS]
00:52:14
◼
►
been six years I think almost maybe six years I'm losing track but yes there was
[TS]
00:52:20
◼
►
a point in which I surpassed I think brent maybe started in 2002 2003 and I
[TS]
00:52:28
◼
►
took it over in 2007 I believe so I it's just funny I don't because it came out
[TS]
00:52:39
◼
►
and I used immediately I don't remember how I put the daring fireball before
[TS]
00:52:45
◼
►
mars at it from my Mac I guess I used the web based movable type I i cant cuz
[TS]
00:52:53
◼
►
it must be right in BBEdit and copy and paste yeah I guess that's what they did
[TS]
00:52:58
◼
►
is I drayton BBEdit and pasted into the text fields of it it doesn't seem likely
[TS]
00:53:06
◼
►
you would have to be fair the editing interface is on these web hosted blogs
[TS]
00:53:12
◼
►
have gotten a lot better but that long ago I can't imagine you composing like a
[TS]
00:53:17
◼
►
fireball length I say well the other thing too is that Mars atticus if it
[TS]
00:53:23
◼
►
came out in 2003 it was there
[TS]
00:53:25
◼
►
and this shit with my memory is that I didn't start the linked list part of
[TS]
00:53:30
◼
►
daring fireball until 2004 so all I had world full articles from 2002 to 2003 so
[TS]
00:53:38
◼
►
it wasn't 67 posts today it was two three maybe four posts a week but
[TS]
00:53:46
◼
►
probably more like two or three posts a week and so i i i actually literally
[TS]
00:53:54
◼
►
think that the existence of mars that it made during fireball what it is today
[TS]
00:54:00
◼
►
because without it I would have never started the linked list I wouldn't do it
[TS]
00:54:06
◼
►
if I had to do it through the web interface and movable type right now I
[TS]
00:54:10
◼
►
never would have occurred to me to do because it would seem like such an
[TS]
00:54:12
◼
►
enormous pain in the ass yeah you don't want anything where there's the turn of
[TS]
00:54:20
◼
►
the shorter and more
[TS]
00:54:22
◼
►
off the cuff the thing you're publishing is that respect it's like that's where
[TS]
00:54:27
◼
►
the friction of going to the web can become the most grating and i think
[TS]
00:54:32
◼
►
thats interesting places what's funny is that also there's there's different
[TS]
00:54:37
◼
►
things that drive people to something like mars the opposite is true when
[TS]
00:54:41
◼
►
people are used to just writing like the long form stuff in the web browser then
[TS]
00:54:45
◼
►
go over the years I don't know how many copies are sold to people who just like
[TS]
00:54:50
◼
►
had the browser it's your content bug happen again that something happens far
[TS]
00:54:57
◼
►
far far less than it used to but it's interesting that you could have the
[TS]
00:55:02
◼
►
experience of it just being kinda like very pertinent to you in that sense of
[TS]
00:55:08
◼
►
just like quickly getting stuff up there that would be too much trouble to kind
[TS]
00:55:12
◼
►
of go in login to do but then on the other hand it's also very very useful to
[TS]
00:55:18
◼
►
people who want that like I wrote this on my Mac saved it on my Mac and it's
[TS]
00:55:23
◼
►
not going anywhere
[TS]
00:55:25
◼
►
the long form stuff as well now in brent was doing it I know that Brent and and
[TS]
00:55:33
◼
►
you know this is one of those things were maybe brent is almost
[TS]
00:55:38
◼
►
too sensitive and over thought it but his idea was that if he's writing a
[TS]
00:55:43
◼
►
generic blog editor that's the tries to support every blog or even blog type CMS
[TS]
00:55:50
◼
►
that has a remote editing API support that he needed to be neutral towards the
[TS]
00:55:58
◼
►
mall and so his own blog he wrote his own blog software for so that instead of
[TS]
00:56:03
◼
►
say using WordPress and then a people's it will you use WordPress so that's why
[TS]
00:56:08
◼
►
your app works better with WordPress then blah blah blah where is the truth
[TS]
00:56:11
◼
►
is it works better with WordPress WordPress has better API support then
[TS]
00:56:15
◼
►
some other thing right now I always kind of thought I was interesting that stance
[TS]
00:56:22
◼
►
he took and I did I don't think I still don't quite get it I think he over
[TS]
00:56:27
◼
►
thought it it it also let's also try to look at it from Prince point of view
[TS]
00:56:35
◼
►
where he was so like in the midst of this big like he was a big part he was
[TS]
00:56:41
◼
►
like a you know this kind of like emerging blogging RSS type thing I think
[TS]
00:56:49
◼
►
a lot of people were paying attention to what brain didn't he probably yeah I
[TS]
00:56:54
◼
►
felt that my attitude about that has been almost diametrically opposite
[TS]
00:57:00
◼
►
because
[TS]
00:57:02
◼
►
and sort of like lends itself to my interests in like doing lots of
[TS]
00:57:07
◼
►
different projects at least for a while lots of different blogs at least for a
[TS]
00:57:11
◼
►
while I tried to make a conscious effort to have separate projects on separate
[TS]
00:57:16
◼
►
systems so so as to be able to say ok this this is my wordpress blog this is
[TS]
00:57:22
◼
►
my blogger blogspot blog blogspot blog
[TS]
00:57:27
◼
►
and then I even tried to do a tumblr blog actually start trying to start a
[TS]
00:57:33
◼
►
tumblr blog recently in and got bit by like the inability to add at images from
[TS]
00:57:40
◼
►
from mars at it but I had the opportunity which is like I'm not gonna
[TS]
00:57:46
◼
►
understand what these customers are running into unless I actually try to
[TS]
00:57:49
◼
►
use this system that they're using so like I know I didn't think I could
[TS]
00:57:55
◼
►
really appreciate what people wanted to get out of the apt with say WordPress
[TS]
00:58:00
◼
►
unless I had a wordpress blog that makes sense to me so what are you using for
[TS]
00:58:06
◼
►
bits putting I'm using WordPress for that and I mean the fact of the matter
[TS]
00:58:13
◼
►
is I ended up using WordPress more consistently across my sites in part
[TS]
00:58:20
◼
►
because it has that level of support through the API that some systems are
[TS]
00:58:25
◼
►
are quite at but also just I'm probably an example of what in part why WordPress
[TS]
00:58:33
◼
►
is so successful that you can install it on almost any server if you host your
[TS]
00:58:37
◼
►
self you can customize it and there's like a huge collection of plug-ins for
[TS]
00:58:42
◼
►
getting a head start on that so I for example my it's putting podcast is it
[TS]
00:58:48
◼
►
leans at least a little bit on this podcasting plugin installed and I just
[TS]
00:58:54
◼
►
took some of the work out of that and what does it do
[TS]
00:58:58
◼
►
does stuff like automatically sense that there's an enclosure on the blog post an
[TS]
00:59:03
◼
►
enclosure you know saying a reference to an mp3 file
[TS]
00:59:07
◼
►
if it if there's no closure on the file that it is it says mp3 on the on the
[TS]
00:59:12
◼
►
post then it not only packages all that up in the way that makes sense to iTunes
[TS]
00:59:18
◼
►
but I like automatically reads the size of the file off of that length in
[TS]
00:59:24
◼
►
minutes hours and stuff but so that automatically inserts you know I can
[TS]
00:59:29
◼
►
have this on your networks as well as you can go to the page for an episode in
[TS]
00:59:34
◼
►
his play the episode right there
[TS]
00:59:36
◼
►
automatically inserts media player stuff like that and does it do it with the
[TS]
00:59:41
◼
►
2005 yeah so it works on iPhones and all that and it's magic
[TS]
00:59:47
◼
►
yeah you know I was just thinking about last night because it's a little off
[TS]
00:59:56
◼
►
topic I guess but it it sort of related to that with the 2005 is that the world
[TS]
01:00:07
◼
►
is so quickly like the the people depending on flash player for audio and
[TS]
01:00:13
◼
►
video playback are disappearing at such a fast rate now that it's it's
[TS]
01:00:19
◼
►
surprising when I'm on the iPad iPhone and run into something that I can't play
[TS]
01:00:24
◼
►
at this point just last night before I went to bed I wanted to watch Elon Musk
[TS]
01:00:31
◼
►
at the 11 conference all things D and it was like just posted earlier in the day
[TS]
01:00:38
◼
►
and you know I don't know it's like they're adequate down in the hold their
[TS]
01:00:42
◼
►
whole team is at a conference and I just had to start my head like this is going
[TS]
01:00:45
◼
►
to go away it was going to work for me was I was downstairs only to head was my
[TS]
01:00:50
◼
►
airplay it to my AppleTV and I thought this isn't gonna work out but it's gonna
[TS]
01:00:54
◼
►
need Flash to watch you know in the morning up on my desktop or something or
[TS]
01:01:01
◼
►
just not even watch it and I went to the thing and it just worked because of
[TS]
01:01:04
◼
►
course it has you know it's my five support
[TS]
01:01:08
◼
►
and I just remember there were so many people who when I came out without Flash
[TS]
01:01:14
◼
►
support who were so damn sure that it was now never gonna work nope there's no
[TS]
01:01:19
◼
►
way that people are going to give up flash player because flash is already
[TS]
01:01:22
◼
►
there and just worked and it's you know it's just one of those things where the
[TS]
01:01:27
◼
►
people are so wrong about that are never going to revisit that an admit they were
[TS]
01:01:31
◼
►
yeah well it's one of those things to our depending on what I didn't quite get
[TS]
01:01:36
◼
►
it until I think it really at all cuz I was very dismissive of anybody who
[TS]
01:01:42
◼
►
thought you would require Flash like for the long term and then I had to kind of
[TS]
01:01:47
◼
►
grudgingly admit that for example this whole class of like kids games from PBS
[TS]
01:01:55
◼
►
and etc that my kid played we're all like flash-based
[TS]
01:01:59
◼
►
ok though there is a there is a ton of stuff out there that today or in at that
[TS]
01:02:06
◼
►
time 2010 you can't use that then I think you're right now it's like it's
[TS]
01:02:12
◼
►
getting to the point where you yes all these like all the flash games and stuff
[TS]
01:02:16
◼
►
are still out there and occasional like very I don't know what's wrong with them
[TS]
01:02:22
◼
►
restaurants will still require Flash for their menus or whatever you know what's
[TS]
01:02:26
◼
►
really change that though the iPhone is really change that to it really is
[TS]
01:02:31
◼
►
because I think I think restaurants in particular it's because they want to
[TS]
01:02:34
◼
►
appeal to people who are already out and I like can we get in at this place where
[TS]
01:02:40
◼
►
is this place you know let's go to the New Mexican place you know that the
[TS]
01:02:45
◼
►
iPhone has driven away that have finally driven restaurants off flash-based web
[TS]
01:02:51
◼
►
yeah I think any of them that have like the wherewithal to notice that and/or
[TS]
01:02:56
◼
►
the budget to change whatever they don't you know a lot of these restaurants and
[TS]
01:02:59
◼
►
especially if they're like not glossy restaurants than you just happen to like
[TS]
01:03:04
◼
►
have the misfortune of somebody having like sold them a solution in 2007 that
[TS]
01:03:09
◼
►
they're stuck with Intel
[TS]
01:03:10
◼
►
but but that was that's the way I would put it is not how much Flash content is
[TS]
01:03:16
◼
►
out there now but who is commissioning new Flash content today right nobody
[TS]
01:03:24
◼
►
would be done I know even adobe is finally done it would be something
[TS]
01:03:30
◼
►
experts out there who are battling flash where's tried to make this argument that
[TS]
01:03:37
◼
►
Flash is going to have a big comeback and you don't want to be caught without
[TS]
01:03:42
◼
►
flash on your site when the big comeback comes right but that's as the the plug
[TS]
01:03:47
◼
►
in your time outside sounds like it does the right thing and it's you know and
[TS]
01:03:50
◼
►
it's the same lines of why I like using Marzena and why mars headed really
[TS]
01:03:56
◼
►
inspired idea for the linked list but it made it made think it was something I
[TS]
01:04:01
◼
►
might want to do because like you said you said the word for action taking out
[TS]
01:04:06
◼
►
the friction because it's not complicated it's not hard I give your
[TS]
01:04:11
◼
►
program the markup involved of getting an html5 audio player in to post on your
[TS]
01:04:18
◼
►
website is not as I understand it but if you had to do the market by hand every
[TS]
01:04:23
◼
►
week it's a pain and yes
[TS]
01:04:25
◼
►
whereas you can't just tell the software
[TS]
01:04:29
◼
►
here's the description and it's just text it is right the description and
[TS]
01:04:33
◼
►
here's the file and it's just an audio file and the right XML and HTML comes
[TS]
01:04:41
◼
►
out the other side when you hit a button it's it's just this it's like a weight
[TS]
01:04:45
◼
►
off your shoulders
[TS]
01:04:48
◼
►
difference in all that time he saved is you know it's the time that he's gonna
[TS]
01:04:53
◼
►
give you even the possibility of squeezing this one other project into
[TS]
01:04:57
◼
►
your busy schedule like you know there's a level of complexity for instance if
[TS]
01:05:01
◼
►
you didn't have the help of your networks and you didn't have great audio
[TS]
01:05:05
◼
►
recording software integrate my computer that can handle it all there's a level
[TS]
01:05:09
◼
►
of complexity where you wouldn't do this show and there's these are all the
[TS]
01:05:14
◼
►
little things that add up and that's that really that friction word is what
[TS]
01:05:17
◼
►
keeps coming back to me and I'm sensitive to that that's why for example
[TS]
01:05:22
◼
►
I don't see myself using Twitter if they ever made it so I couldn't use a desktop
[TS]
01:05:29
◼
►
app of some kind
[TS]
01:05:31
◼
►
yeah right I'm not gonna go login to post my you know funny to me and five
[TS]
01:05:37
◼
►
other people thought that just came to mind I can on their website is a fine
[TS]
01:05:44
◼
►
website but if I had to use the Twitter website used for Owen used where exactly
[TS]
01:05:49
◼
►
that's why I think we're a minority actually but yeah but that's why I hope
[TS]
01:05:54
◼
►
that they and I think like the renewed like they've had a lot of renewed
[TS]
01:05:58
◼
►
activity in their own clients yeah like for a while it seemed like not just that
[TS]
01:06:05
◼
►
they were anti third-party clients which they still are I mean they still have
[TS]
01:06:09
◼
►
this disease severe limits that are really I I really hope they revisit them
[TS]
01:06:15
◼
►
the third party thing is different but it really seemed almost like they
[TS]
01:06:18
◼
►
weren't just anti third-party clients but that they were anti clients period
[TS]
01:06:23
◼
►
and that their own apps were and after you know they they really want to be
[TS]
01:06:27
◼
►
able to use the Website and I feel like you know the reason I thought that was
[TS]
01:06:31
◼
►
frustrating was that most people do already the mass market already does
[TS]
01:06:36
◼
►
just use the Website let the people who care enough to want the apps use apps
[TS]
01:06:39
◼
►
and may just make everybody happy it's so hard to go wrong
[TS]
01:06:45
◼

making people happy users customers whatever you want to call them if you're
[TS]
01:06:49
◼

making them happy
[TS]
01:06:50
◼

you really age you're you're on the right track and if you're doing things
[TS]
01:06:56
◼

that make some significant portion of them unhappy that's a good sign that
[TS]
01:07:00
◼

you're you're wrong in with Twitter I think you know I get the argument people
[TS]
01:07:07
◼
►
have given that they had their nest by and they have investors they need to
[TS]
01:07:11
◼
►
make money they need to prove that they can make me to take take control of the
[TS]
01:07:14
◼
►
timeline all this stuff I guess what I'm optimistic for is that once they get
[TS]
01:07:19
◼
►
past that kinda like nervous zone then they can loosen up a little bit and I
[TS]
01:07:25
◼

you know I could even imagine somebody some investors somewhere saying
[TS]
01:07:30
◼
►
what are you gonna make money if you let all these third-party clients do
[TS]
01:07:33
◼

whatever the heck they want right and maybe even somebody at winner could be
[TS]
01:07:37
◼
►
thinking well that's just John Gruber deadlock only two people and they'd
[TS]
01:07:43
◼

still they still want this argument to say all right this is our plan going
[TS]
01:07:47
◼

forward we're gonna take control of the timeline right don't don't fight against
[TS]
01:07:51
◼
►
people's desires of but if it had worked out differently and it ended up that 90%
[TS]
01:07:55
◼
►
of the people using Twitter wanted to use third-party clients if that's what
[TS]
01:08:00
◼

they want and they should go with it and figure out a new way to make money from
[TS]
01:08:04

it if as long as you've got millions and millions of people using it there's
[TS]
01:08:08

gotta be a way to make money on it you know i mean that's really what inspired

google reader it you can see how it just doesn't make sense from Google's

perspective to to support user names and passwords but so instead of fighting it

01:11:26

the most successful thing I had done it but I wasn't afraid to just throw it

away because so many people wanted something where it was never going to

shifting all the time

01:12:43

you're down at the shore and you really don't want the tide to come in it's not
[TS]

a good time for it but if the tide coming in it's coming in there's nothing
[TS]
01:12:59
◼

you can do about it so you better figure out a way to go with the rising tide
[TS]
01:13:02

01:15:39
◼

of it is there's a lot of its 23rd 2013 Daniel I know it's frustrating to me
[TS]
01:15:47

actually that there is no mars at it for iOS part of it is just that just that
[TS]
01:15:56
◼

pure and simple one person running that company it's hard for me to make more
[TS]
01:16:04
◼

than one substantial product and even though it would have the same name
[TS]
01:16:10
◼
►
Marzena for iOS is as you know and iOS app that has a counterpart on the Mac
[TS]
01:16:17
◼
►
has to be a dramatically different product you could share almost certainly
[TS]
01:16:22
◼
►
the backend code that communicates to the various API's that's right right but
[TS]
01:16:31
◼
►
the the interface would be a hundred percent knew absolutely I think I think
[TS]
01:16:37
◼
►
that has to even stuff like the syntax coloring would be different because you
[TS]
01:16:40
◼
►
know a test text and the you i text you used in the UI stuff for texts all
[TS]
01:16:46
◼

totally different yeah all that all of you staff will be dramatically different
[TS]
01:16:50
◼
►
and the extent to which I don't make make no mistake I've been thinking about
[TS]
01:16:56
◼
►
this since day one of the iPhone thinking about how much sense would make
[TS]
01:17:04
◼
►
first of all how much money could I make second of all what kind of tradeoffs I
[TS]
01:17:09
◼

have to make third of all
[TS]
01:17:11
◼
►
and then what are the high-level design differences in the use cases are
[TS]
01:17:17
◼
►
different too for like four if you're using mars added on her iPhone for

[TS]
01:17:57
◼

it's a super cool URL oh and I'd CEO I think that's a double check the ad is it
[TS]
01:18:08
◼
►
what I'm reading today which is how awesome is that if you look at his
[TS]
01:18:17
◼
►
review of the galaxy s4 he says he wrote it on his iPhone and I don't think so
[TS]
01:18:25
◼
►
with draft with drafts on his iPhone those people who do it so i dont have
[TS]
01:18:33
◼
►
you may be underestimated although I do agree though that the average person
[TS]
01:18:36
◼
►
probably well yeah I post a lot from my iPhone especially I'm going on vacation
[TS]
01:18:44
◼
►
something like that but it's a lot shorter typically
[TS]
01:18:47
◼
►
links right yeah but I you know I'll add content stuff like that and I have a
[TS]
01:18:52
◼

bookmarklet that makes it so that I can you know it's it sends me over to the

chote chote and somebody else's six-part Road years ago

but it it just makes movable type look right on the iPhone in actually in many
[TS]
01:19:23
◼
►
many ways actually makes movable types web interface way better than the
[TS]
01:19:28
◼
►
version on the desktop it actually it's not just like a stripped down version
[TS]
01:19:34
◼
►
it's just like just clean it's really good so I don't because of that I don't
[TS]
01:19:41
◼
►
crave Mars edit for iPhone as much as I would without that but I do and
[TS]
01:19:48
◼
►
especially know and I'll tell you know you know what the problem is the biggest
[TS]
01:19:51
◼
►
problem is that you can occasionally wired going back and forth between tabs
[TS]
01:19:57
◼
►
in Mobile Safari if it runs short term memory it'll just wiped out and if
[TS]
01:20:02
◼

you've already SAT there and painstakingly thumb typed couple even
[TS]
01:20:06
◼
►
just a couple sentences and then you come back in it reload the page and it's
[TS]
01:20:10
◼
►
all gone
[TS]
01:20:11
◼
►
agent is so there's a it's like the old walled world browser problems from the
[TS]
01:20:17
◼
►
desktop or start new world problems on iOS
[TS]
01:20:21
◼
►
that almost never happens anymore thankfully desktop browsers but
[TS]
01:20:25
◼
►
definitely happens any iPhone yeah so long you just haven't gotten to it I
[TS]
01:20:30
◼
►
just haven't gotten you know it's one of those things too I have a list of
[TS]
01:20:34
◼
►
unfinished projects that is it's one of my one of my definite flaws is my
[TS]
01:20:39
◼
►
distractibility and interest in new projects jumping into things like making
[TS]
01:20:43
◼
►
a podcast I'm not gonna lie that that takes some time away from you know maybe
[TS]
01:20:49
◼
►
making our customers at it but as just another problem is just completely
[TS]
01:20:55
◼
►
rational mode here it's a challenge to take something like Mars edit this such
[TS]
01:21:04
◼
►
a future filled app on the Mac and then get comfortable with whatever subset of
[TS]
01:21:12
◼
►
those features is that you're willing to to ship the 1.0 s and that is
[TS]
01:21:18
◼
►
that's hard when you're making a new products hard enough when you're making
[TS]
01:21:22
◼
►
a new product right because you have your own personal idea about what
[TS]
01:21:27
◼
►
everything how everything should work can you ship the app and everyone's
[TS]
01:21:31
◼
►
gonna hate the fact that I left out
[TS]
01:21:34
◼
►
XYZ features but when you're sipping a version of an existing app it's really
[TS]
01:21:42
◼
►
easy to get caught up in fears about that like you know it's going to be you
[TS]
01:21:48
◼
►
know mad that it doesn't support this Publishing feature of WordPress who's
[TS]
01:21:52
◼
►
gonna be mad that it doesn't support rich tax would say who's gonna be mad
[TS]
01:21:55
◼
►
this that and the other thing and so for example I can look at someone like you
[TS]
01:21:59
◼
►
john is a wino Johnson gonna be mad if it doesn't support rich tax I know johns
[TS]
01:22:03
◼
►
I can be mad if it unless Tappan interface junking it up never gonna turn
[TS]
01:22:10
◼
►
out exactly so and another example would be happy if it was a movable type only
[TS]
01:22:18
◼
►
starters let's say well i'll be satisfied that would make me happy I
[TS]
01:22:23
◼
►
wouldn't be like gleeful that other people can I would be like he's on his
[TS]
01:22:28
◼
►
support want you might even be staying under your breath love he's an idiot but
[TS]
01:22:34
◼
►
this is quick word present
[TS]
01:22:39
◼
►
left unusual whatever you can use it I'll tell could alter the movable type
[TS]
01:22:50
◼
►
satisfied but yeah it's it's a it's a chance you know you remember I made a
[TS]
01:22:57
◼
►
talk about this at the first singleton where that's already two years old now
[TS]
01:23:01
◼
►
sort of coming to grips with my own inability to start to finish and ship
[TS]
01:23:07
◼
►
this thing but what can I say one of these days is going to happen and then
[TS]
01:23:11
◼
►
and then we will move on from there I just like I'm not one of these are some
[TS]
01:23:18
◼
►
people out there who are still these Mac developers who are convinced that like
[TS]
01:23:23
◼
►
iOS is like not worth pursuing or it's like it so I don't know it's for toys
[TS]
01:23:29

games and
[TS]
01:23:31
◼

MCA's good to be here forever and these people to me I'm committed Mac Developer
[TS]
01:23:37
◼

but these people are sounding more and more to me like the people who were
[TS]
01:23:40
◼
►
convinced Mac OS nine was here forever if if I were starting a new app and it
[TS]
01:23:46
◼
►
was like a utility type AB and it made sense to maybe have iOS and Mac versions
[TS]
01:23:53
◼
►
of the same app I would do i would do the iPhone version first
[TS]
01:23:58
◼
►
not not even iPad iPad 2 iPhone first I have to say maybe they'd be exclusively
[TS]
01:24:06
◼
►
depending on the app because it's becoming a very near and dear to my
[TS]
01:24:12
◼
►
market community but it is a specialty kind of power user market more and more
[TS]
01:24:19
◼
►
maybe it makes it might make sense I know you're saying because the idea
[TS]
01:24:24
◼
►
would be wouldn't be that the Mac doesn't matter but that if you have
[TS]
01:24:27
◼
►
limited resources you're always gonna get more results out of pouring those
[TS]
01:24:31
◼
►
resources into the iOS version because the opportunity is so immensely large I
[TS]
01:24:37
◼
►
think that's the thing that old-school Mac developers maybe are just they can't
[TS]
01:24:41
◼
►
wrap their heads around is just how large the iPhone iPad market is because
[TS]
01:24:49
◼
►
we're just not used to mean we're all happy that the Mac is thriving and that
[TS]
01:24:53
◼

the Mac audience has grown over the last 10 years which is great but you just
[TS]
01:24:59
◼
►
can't fathom how much larger the iOS marketers I can't I just know it is that
[TS]
01:25:04
◼
►
much larger but I really it's almost like it doesn't make sense to me it
[TS]
01:25:08
◼
►
doesn't make a lot of sense to me but the important distinction for me and for
[TS]
01:25:11
◼

a Mac developers out there is it is a huge market and that is clearly not
[TS]
01:25:16
◼

enough for us otherwise we would have all been Windows developers the whole
[TS]
01:25:19
◼

time right that's not a reason that's not yet know it's not the one who's this
[TS]
01:25:22

unique combination of huge market and a compelling interest in platform and a
[TS]
01:25:29
◼

lot not all people because there's no there's clearly a lot of people using
[TS]
01:25:33
◼

iPhones and iPads you don't even care about the quality of the interface of
[TS]
01:25:37
◼

that they use
[TS]
01:25:38
◼

but there's clearly a subset of them who do and you know it still is the

01:25:44

different we can go for another hour and talk about the whole market shared

didn't understand why I was doing it at the moment I was doing it on instinct

was like this is as I think I remember I tweeted I saw the first of all I went to

◼
►
and I just had like an easy breezy run and then I find out afterwards that it
[TS]
01:34:43
◼
►
wasn't a fair run and so you cancel your order so I canceled my order I
[TS]
01:34:47
◼

instinctively and not sure if I would believe me it was a little stressful but
[TS]
01:34:52

I'm thinking this I'm also like I said this is not real they're not really

offering to let me cancel that doesn't make any sense but then I thought what
[TS]
01:35:10
◼
►
if it's like you know what if this is my chance and so they cancelled it and I
