Seems to like my bird feeder… - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

Demo of just how bad latency is on touch devices. I've noticed this with the ipad, and it ruins the drawing experience for me. - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

I remember reading complaints about how Diablo 3 was too colorful … but I wasn't expecting this. - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

"I like the media keys on my MacBook keyboard - just not all of them. Fat-fingered that I am, I regularly skip tracks when I just want to pause or mute. Disabling all of the keys just won't do, because I use the brightness and volume keys every day." - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

"Takes a snapshot with your Mac's built-in iSight/FaceTime webcam (or any working webcam on Linux) every time you git commit code, and archives a lolcat style image with it." - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

If I understand right, the maximum number of shares the public had access to before the IPO was 3+ million, it's now ~425 million, it'll be ~600 million in 90 days, it'll be ~850 million in 150 days, and it'll be ~2150 million in 180 days. - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

(And I fully admit I have no clue about this kind of stuff.) - Amit Patel

"Mobile browsers are basically still a huge mess, except for Safari on iOS, except when PhoneGap'd. So still pretty messy." - Amit Patel

If you just enter one word into the url bar in Firefox, it assumes this is a domain name, and sends it for DNS lookup. Only after this slow lookup returns does it treat it as a search. Chrome defaults to a search for single words, and allows you to treat it as a domain name by using / after the word. - Amit Patel

Some of us still are =) - Amit Patel

"This article is aimed toward the gearheads among us, those who want to know more about how things work. Reading it will not improve your photography even a microscopic amount. Then again, it might, actually, at least a bit. But for those who are interested in such things it’s a fun read." - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

Version of Inconsolata with straight quotes, larger symbols, and larger numerals. - Amit Patel

"Dash, by Bogdan Popescu, is a brilliant developer utility that removes friction from two key areas of programming: looking up documentation and reusing code snippets." - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

PNGOUT is a utility to recompress PNG files losslessly. It uses a better version of ZIP to compress the data. - Amit Patel

I changed the email address to their site so that the spam they send out now goes to themselves. - Amit Patel

"At 99designs we love great design, and a big part of good design is use of color. We were interested to see how designers make use of color in their designs, so we built an automatic color extractor to enable us to analyse color usage at a massive scale." - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

Python script to extract the main colors from a logo. Heuristics: ignore background color, ignore grays, ignore all the color variants that come from antialiased edges. - Amit Patel

Just as fonts look better with hinting, icons and other vector shapes can look better if aligned with the grid than if rasterized normally. - Amit Patel

One day the gay marriage ban will seem similarly ridiculous. - Amit Patel

"Morphic 3 is a research and development project aimed at building the next standard in 2D user interfaces. It has been (and still is) developed exclusively by me on my free time, since 2007. The project is mostly funded by myself." - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

"Dragging and dropping is a great way to get stuff done on your Mac, but DragonDrop makes it even better. DragonDrop lets you set down what you're dragging, leaving you free to find your destination without worrying about keeping the mouse button held down." - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

Watch the video. This seems to solve one of my biggest annoyances with Mac drag & drop. - Amit Patel

“Dodok Arzeskivish Ad Ikthag, Werezebra has transformed into a dwarf!” - Amit Patel

“Inod Rodumerith, Animal Trainer has created Dumurbumal, a goose bone earring!” - Amit Patel

Yet another CEDET setup. This one reads completions from an external process (mozrepl). I wonder how easy it would be to adapt it to read from Haxe instead. - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

It also has black wings and tail with prominent white patches. Its breast is dark to tawny orange in color. Its belly is yellow." - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

Woot! Saw my first one of these today, at my feeder. I hope it comes back. - Amit Patel

"Even so, this camera rocks. No, it will not give you full frame quality. You will not get that Leica look nor will you have the capabilities of a Nikon D800. BUT if you want a small little well made powerhouse that does almost no wrong, the E-M5 is one of my TOP picks right now in the smaller camera/larger sensor market. In fact, I bought mine and am going to keep it to replace my E-P3 that I sold a little while ago. BTW, The handling without the grip is a bit on the small and cramped side, but with the grip it is fantastic." - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

The S100 is awesome. My issue wasn't with the speed of the EPL-1's autofocus, but with how badly it did the AF. Things would show up out of focus and there was no way to tell by looking at the LCD screen that it was out of focus, so you'd take what you think are perfectly nice pictures and get home and say SHIT when you saw the results on lightroom. - Piaw Na
