What’s the German word for the sadness that strikes when you realize your last 8000 steps weren’t recorded because your Fitbit is charging?

That’s *awesome.*

Hello, LAX. I forgot what this much sun looks like!
Replying to @MikeFurlough
It was LAX, ORD, or DEN, and I thought, assuming I’m able to leave NYC, where am I least likely to encounter trouble?

Replying to @BenRobertson
I persist in wondering why the near future requires a wish-fulfillment ending, and why that’s the closing note of the novel.
Replying to @BenRobertson
Not to say that the entirety ends happily - which was not exactly what I claimed.
Replying to @BenRobertson
Indeed! I’m thinking hard now about the implication of the 99% being left in the past & yet being the only ones with a future.
I am embarked on my semi-annual search for a better email client. This inevitably ends back where I started.
And yet I cannot help it. Desired: seamlessness between OS X and iOS. Support for Gmail labels. Full non-Gmail IMAP. *Not webmail.*
Replying to @acavender
Ugh, how frustrating. One of the things I am currently testing: Mail with the MailTags plugin, to see if it improves labels.
Replying to @LibSkrat
Grrrr.
The closest I’ve come to getting everything I wanted in a mail client was Sparrow. I wish somebody could pick that project back up.
Replying to @brettbobley and @LibSkrat
I’m in.
Replying to @robwalsh0
Huh. I poked at Mailbox when it first came out for iOS but dropped it bc there wasn’t a Mac client. May have to investigate.
Oh, in my list of email client desiderata, did I mention actual functional search? Seriously: SEARCH THAT FINDS STUFF.
Replying to @LibSkrat
EXACTLY.
Replying to @dancohen
It was actually your Handle tweet that sent me off down the rabbit hole again!
Replying to @dancohen
Right?!?
Replying to @academicdave
Nice.
Replying to @dancohen
Eh, you merely enabled. I am the one with the problem.
Replying to @academicdave and @dancohen
Works with the usual range of annoying email servers \(Gmail, Exchange, http://Mac\.com, etc\)?
Thanks to @robwalsh0 for pointing me at Mailbox’s OS X beta. In order to use it I’ll have to let go of my label fixation, but it’s crazy +
fast and seems to have really powerful search. So maybe it’s possible.
