Snorkeling Footage in Hawaii
I took timelapse photos for the most of time, which turned out to be a really bad idea. So there is not much fish left in the video footage.

We didn't have the time for the sunset at Haleakalā peak, but the drive was nevertheless beautiful.

∞ Apple No Longer Takes a 30% Cut For P2P Tipping
The company has meanwhile softened its tipping policy, allowing person-to-person financial gifts that bypass the App Store's in-app purchase system. Apple normally claims a 30 percent cut from in-app transactions, and indeed the new rules say that app creators can't claim any money from gifts either. The changes are presumably a reaction to the popularity of tipping in Chinese apps, which resulted in a brief crackdown earlier this year, followed by a half-step measure in which tips were possible as in-app purchases.
Note that developers can't take any cut either. This feels like a negotiation result between Apple and Tencent.
∞ Pick a Fight (on Twitter)
Really enjoyed this episode of Rework. @DHH is inspiring me to sharing more on Twitter. Combined with iA Writer's advice on how to get started with writing, I think the perfect first step is to write more with 140 characters on Twitter.
I have tried to treat here as a micro blog-ish site and been telling myself don't bother the length, quantity, and quality of the content. But even that scares me away. Twitter doesn't. It's a perfect platform to shout out your thoughts at the moment.
