So I have a question for Anchor…

Does the service have an API? Or a way to listen to peoples waves inside a regular pod catcher? Do the people behind Anchor intend to play nice with the open web or is this just another silo that want to usurp the web?

I’ve searched their help and found nothing regarding APIs or XML/RSS.

More Lego Star Wars: Droid Tales

As I’ve mentioned earlier, Iris and me have been watching Lego Star Wars: Droid Tales. I was really entertained by the first episode and found it hilarious at times. Unfortunately the rest of the episodes where not as great.

The plot of the show is just an excuse to let Threepio retell episodes I – VI. The retelling of The Phantom Menace was amazing. It managed to parody all the things that are silly in that movie. The other prequel-retelling was okay, but not as funny as Episode I and once the series started retelling the original trilogy I felt like the funny moments were fewer and further between. I guess the jokes in ”Droid Tales” are very cheap and a bit lazy, which works as long as the movies they riff on are so lazily written but once they face better movies it just starts seeming cheap, rather than fun.1

Anyway, watch an episode or two of ”Droid Tales” but if you find them losing their way a few episodes in it’s okay to stop. There are plenty of other things to watch on Netflix.


  1. Please note that I do not imply that episodes II and III are better than The Phantom Menace. I actually believe that Episode I is the least terrible of the prequels.

There are many outside influences that will interfere with the execution of your JavaScript. That’s why a non-naive and non-arrogant — a dedicated and seasoned web developer — will never rely on it. Instead, you treat it as an enhancement and in an almost paranoid fashion test for the availability of everything before you access it.

– Christian Heilmann, Don’t tell me what my browser can’t do!

Exactly. Progressive enhancements are more important than ever. The fact that the web is accessible from different devices and can be displayed with varying amount of ”flash” and native apps generally can’t and aren’t is a good thing for the web.

LISA MAGNUSSON: Köttfri måndag kan införas i smyg

Men istället för att diskutera politisk reglering behandlar vi detta som en fråga om personlig livsstil.

En enormt präktig och snörptråkig personlig livsstil dessutom, som kräver 100 procent hängivenhet. Så du använder energisnåla lampor och källsorterar – men är de där tomaterna ekologiska?

Jag tror att det allra bästa man kan göra om man vill värna vår art på ett privat plan vore att släppa förnumstigheten som präglar allt som börjar på ”miljö-”. Och fräls oss ifrån fräschheten.

LISA MAGNUSSON: Köttfri måndag kan införas i smyg

Exakt så. Låt oss sluta vara så djävla förnumstiga i det lilla, och faktiskt lagstifta vettigt i det stora så kanske det finns hopp.
