Tumblr is pretty cool but I'm still not sure what I need it for.

Posterous’ new iPhone app could make citizen journalism and lifestreaming the norm – The Next Web

Breaking News

Posterous new iPhone app could make citizen journalism and lifestreaming the normWhat’s really exciting is the potential in news to break faster and with more information than every before. Sure, with Twitter, news has been known to break fast and with the odd image linked from within the Tweet too. With PicPosterous however, you’ve got video and images being immediately uploaded and shared across all the viral hubs (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube etc..).

Yes, Posterous and PicPosterous are very intriguing, but sometimes I think they go overboard in trying to keep things simple. PicPosterous, for example, could do with the ability to add a bit of text to the album post, and it would be nice if you could delete individual photos from an album, which doesn’t appear to be possible even on the Posterous web site.

All in all, though, I do thing Posterous is managing to make “blogging” cool again.

My own suspicion is that the Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose.

Not only is the universe stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine.

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.

If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore, and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God which had been shown! But every night come out these envoys of beauty, and light the universe with their admonishing smile.

The linguistic turn and the conceptual turn took many different forms. All of them were, in one way or another, responses to a methodological challenge to philosophy that the development of modern experimental science has made more and more urgent: how can philosophers expect to learn about the world without getting up out of their armchairs to see what it’s actually like?
