“The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and...”
– US Constitution, Article 3, Section 2. Why is there any question about whether or not the 9/11 highjackers should be tried in New York? I hate this terrorist boogeyman we have created. It (not actual terrorists or actual actions) is one of the greatest threats to our freedom today.

Frantic Steve Jobs Stays Up All Night Designing... →
Middle-of-the-night sources reported that Jobs then began work on double-spacing his Keynote presentation and increasing the font size to make it appear longer.
I lol’d. (via @chillylint)

Things that make me say "meh" about the iPad
Apps come from the App Store only. I can handle having a locked down system for a phone, since I expect a lot less from it. For this large of a device, I expect a more flexible and open platform.
Syncs through iTunes. iTunes is for syncing music and other media to media devices. The iPad takes us even farther from the original iPods, so why are we still using the old system? The iPad should...

Times and Seasons 2009 Mormon of the Year: Harry... →
Just for the record, the last two posts were concerning the above article and the debate it has caused in the Daily Unifarce. Many students were upset at the choice and argued that other Mormons such as Mitt Romney, Glenn Beck, or even Stephanie Meyer are more deserving. Meh.

The Mitt Romney Report →
I find it a bit ironic that Harry Reid was lambasted in the Daily Unifarce’s Reader’s Forum and now multiple students are proposing Mitt Romney for the “Mormon of the Year” award. The most common criticism of Harry Reid was his comments on Proposition 8. Perhaps those submitting Romney’s name should know what one Massachusetts anti gay marriage group thinks about...

Oh Daily Unifarce “editors”. You stay silent while all sorts of dribble and idiocy is printed in the Reader’s Forum. But if someone dares to sully the hallowed name of the greatest of all Mormons, yea even our beloved Glenn Beck, then like the heroes you are, you rise up and set the blasphemer’s falsehoods straight. Thank you for showing your true colors.

What your blogging platform says about you
Livejournal: You have been blogging since before it was cool and you probably like fanfiction.
Blogger: You don’t care if your blog looks butt ugly and you haven’t moved on from 2005.
Wordpress: You think that SEO actually works.
Tumblr: You desperately want other people to think you are hip and a design snob.
Moveable Type: You are a masochist.

Resolved: never again will I buy a tshirt from the Gap. I bought two with a gift card to wear down in Mexico and they are terrible. They got stretched and misshapened just from me looking at them. Never again.

Single's wards
Ani, a friend of mine since, well, the womb, sent out an open letter to a bunch of people in her address book. She gave me permission to republish it and make some comments. Here is the entire text of the letter and my commentary is at the bottom:
To those who are concerned:
I am sensitive to the pervasive questioning within the church of what to do with all these un-married young...

Writing the following preference makes Xcode place the opening brackets according to the Allman style (which is the easiest on the eyes IMHO) for the if block text macro:
$ defaults write com.apple.Xcode XCCodeSenseFormattingOptions '{ "BlockSeparator" = "\n" ; }'
Saved for future reference. Found here: Hidden Xcode build, debug and template settings.

So, Tianna was kind enough to do the research I should have done and pointed me to the info page on the Even More Plus plans. Looks like you do not need a contract for a $79.99 plan with unlimited minutes, texts, and data. A 500 minutes Even More Plus plan is $59.99 (which gives you the equivalent of what comes along with the subsidized Nexus One). The math turns out to be:
$529 unsubsidized...

I don’t really understand how the whole “subsidized phone” thing works. For example, the unlocked Nexus One is $529. The T-Mobile subsidized plus two-year contract version is $179, a $350 difference.
If I buy the unlocked phone and the T-Mobile “Even More individual 500 Plan”, does that mean I only have to pay $79.99 - ($350/24) = $65.40 a month? Can I get that...
