New on Posterous: Audio and video *plays* on your iPhone in Safari, no flash needed
You already know that Posterous is *the best* way to post from your iPhone to the web. Whether you're taking photos, shooting video, or recording a voice memo, you can email it to us and we host it all.
Now, audio and video you attach and send to Posterous can be played on an iPhone in Mobile Safari. No more "missing flash" errors! (Just for the files we host, not those on other sites).
The new iPhone playable video files are also available via our API, so Twitter clients and other applications on the iPhone can play them. Email your favorite Twitter client and let them know!
We love the iPhone, and we're committed to making the Posterous + iPhone experience great.
How Mark Cuban got his start in the software industry at 24, with no previous experience with computers
Every night I would take home a different software manual, and I would read them... Peachtree, PFS, DBase, Lotus, Accpac… I couldn’t put them down. Every night I would read some after getting home, no matter how late.
It worked. Turns out not a lot of people ever bothered to RTFM (read the frickin’ manual), so people started really thinking I knew my stuff.

My friend Dan Haubert of Ticketstumbler (the most awesome way to buy tickets for sporting events and concerts) cites Mark Cuban as one of his personal heroes. This is a great reason why he should be yours too.
Hustle.
Turning an apple logo into a monitor, and how Microsoft tried to do it five years ago.
This is purely ornamental, and looks cool. Someone decided it would be cool to mod the apple logo into its own monitor. Be the coolest guy in the cafe, you know.
It reminds me of back when I worked at Microsoft. There was a big initiative among the mobile computing teams -- getting these mini monitors working so that you could check your next appointment / read your email without ever opening your laptop.
That's because standby mode sucked so much on Windows (kind of still sucks today, compared to OS X) -- rather than fix standby, it was decided that lets make ANOTHER device that you could tell OEMs to make and built into the outside of the laptop so people don't even have to open their laptops anymore.
This approach reminds me of the millions spent on designing a pen that would work in space by NASA. What did the Russians do? Use a pencil.
What did Apple do? Make standby mode actually work.
Tomorrow is Analog Sunday.
via analogsunday.com For the record, I probably will be working on Posterous anyway. But I'll try to read a book and spend some time outside too. *grin*
Edit: Yeah, I should have known I can't keep resolutions like this. Especially not this.

Jizz In My Pants (HD)
UPDATE: And a comment regarding embedding YouTube videos. If you operate a weblog or videoblog online and like to embed your own content please edit the HTML code to display your videos at YouTube's highest quality.
One of the annoying parts of browsing YouTube for me is clicking "watch in high quality," or "watch in HD" at each video and waiting for the page to refresh. Even when I know that there's probably a higher quality of the video at YouTube's site, embedders often use YouTube's quick embed code to place low quality videos on their website. This isn't the way videos were meant to be watched. Here's how:
A Search Box for Your Posterous
We've been hard at work completely rewriting our search system so that now you have your own search box on your posterous. You don't even have to lift a finger. It's there automatically. Shown below is featured posterous website mayisuggest.org -- if you're searching for fun, that's a great place to start your search.
This is also a great time to check out what other people are posting. We've revamped search there too, so take it for a spin.
Questions? Comments? Bug reports? As always, you can email us at help@posterous.com. We always want to hear about what you'd like to see on posterous next.
NINE WORDS WOMEN USE
NINE WORDS WOMEN USE(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . that will bring on a 'whatever').(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying F-- YOU!(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.
* Send this to the men you know, to warn them about arguments they can avoid if they remember the terminology.
* Send this to all the women you know to give them a good laugh, cause they know it's true!!!
