I got this in an email today. I never had a problem with my phone. Countless… make that EVERY other technology company has released something with a problem or just outright crap. For some reason when people have an issue with one of the Apple products the world crumbles like a Cheezit under the weight of any one of the fat women from peopleofwalmart.com. ‘Antennagate’ was right. Gimme a break. And … $29. I’ll put it towards my iPad. Hey, anything will make a dent.

And what a fitting name it is. The End of History Beer ($650-$900) is an ultra-limited — as in, it might already be sold out — 55% alcohol blond Belgian ale, brewed using crazy freezing techniques, and featuring hints of juniper berries, mead, and nettles. Of course, being the world’s strongest and most expensive beer wasn’t enough for these restless brewmasters, so they took things one step further, and packaged the beer inside taxidermied roadkill, creating the end game of premium beer. Seriously, just look at it.

Which prompted Adam, the developer, to reply, “Yeah, NGINX (read Engine-X) killed the unicorn.”

Which prompted me to create this. Yes, developers. When you start talking crazy engineer speak, this is how we think.

NOTE: I do have this 1900px wide. Yes. That means this can be your desktop background printed full-size and hung above your bed! Just hit me up @scottaburger on Twitter.

I mean really? Why the junk would anyone have this browser. It displays the same resolution as a 1988 Nintendo. Look at these comparisons. Like a lot of people I was pretty pumped to know there was an alternative to Safari on the iPhone. And like most people, my experience was extremely anti-climactic. A lot of hype followed by sad realization and disappointment. Not unlike the election of President Obama. :-\

I’ve created some userstyles that were 100% influenced/stolen from Vimeo because I heart Vimeo’s color pallet and overall design. When you follow these steps your Basecamp Fluid App will look like this:

There are some caviats:
1. You’re on a Mac (’cause you’re smart)
2. You’re running Basecamp using Fluid

NOTE: If you’re setting up Basecamp to run as a Fluid app for the first time, make sure your Behavior Preferences look like this (http://grab.by/42rJ) and your Advances Preferences look like this (http://grab.by/42rR).

We’re gonna style the Writeboard as well as the Basecamp project interface. So, let’s do this:

1. Open your preferences for your Basecamp Fuild App (CMD+,)
2. Go to ‘Userstyles’
3. Click the “+” button and give your new style the name *writeboard.com* (including the asterisks)
4. Click the checkmark next your new userstyle to make it active
5. Copy this code into the text area below
