Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

It's pretty good at remembering things like that.

Hey. New board.

I can use my tablet as a phone on Wifi with a Google voice phone number

What app do you use to do this? On my old iPhone I used Talkatone (which is essentially a Google Talk app that will connect with its voice service) but I haven't found something similar for android...

Hey. New board.

This Lifehacker article gave me my favorite Google Reader UI fix - makes it look like a Mac native program, very pretty.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Gris,

that's a good recommendation but I fucking hate the font. I am not sure why I am having such a negative reaction to the font, but that's where it is. I'm going to use it for awhile longer to see if my hate lessens.

I fucking hate the font

If you're using Chrome, it's fucking easy to change it. ;)

Click on the Stylish icon, and then edit, and you'll see the font-face css.

Coding and Sleeping

The new look on the Google apps seem okay to me if I set the display density to compact (the other settings have too much spacing for my liking).

IMO, I like the aesthetics of the new style better, but the old style seems a bit better in terms of functionality. So a big, eh, overall.

Hey. New board.

I actually had to download and install the font it was trying to use (Open Sans) on my work computer. Before that my computer was defaulting to some very seriffy font that exploded my brain. Could that be the problem?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Gris,

I am not taking the time to find out. I love the look of reader from the link above and I'm sticking with it until the script breaks. it is not as stylish as the LH link, but I've given up on that.
