The annotation and painting features were very clever, and it was by far the fastest way to resize images and upload them somewhere to share. All that is gone now: the new version is just terrible. Almost none of the useful features I relied on remain — no fast resizing, no uploading anywhere but to Evernote, no whole-window snaps, no font choice, no color picker, no translucent colors, no fill, no file format choice, no filename choice… I could go on. It’s also much uglier and less stable now.</p> <p>I can’t remember a piece of good software being so completely ruined in one fell stroke.</p> <p>Evernote, who own Skitch, <a href="http://get.skitch.com/Skitch-1.0.12.zip">have put up version 1 for download.</a></p>http://attaboy.tumblr.com/post/32039595283http://attaboy.tumblr.com/post/32039595283Sat, 22 Sep 2012 05:16:00 -0400<a href="http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/revolt-of-the-rich/">Revolt of the Rich</a>: <p>“Our financial elites are the new secessionists.”</p>http://attaboy.tumblr.com/post/31969523555http://attaboy.tumblr.com/post/31969523555Fri, 21 Sep 2012 00:32:30 -0400<a href="http://weeklysift.com/2012/09/10/the-distress-of-the-privileged/">The Distress of the Privileged « The Weekly Sift</a>: <p>(via <a href="http://www.instapaper.com/">Instapaper</a>)</p>http://attaboy.tumblr.com/post/31926041072http://attaboy.tumblr.com/post/31926041072Thu, 20 Sep 2012 12:20:47 -0400<a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/09/how-google-builds-its-maps-and-what-it-means-for-the-future-of-everything/261913/">How Google Builds Its Maps—and What It Means for the Future of Everything - Alexis C.
