Ira’s App is Awesome

And he explains why you should buy it in an adorable video.

He could sell me anything with that little self depreciating laugh. We’re lucky he only uses his powers for good. And not, say, ShamWow. Because I would own one.

Come on, it’s a This American Life app. You don’t really need to watch the video, do you? Just buy it now.

If you haven’t seen it, “John Smith,” episode six, season two of the television series, is breathtaking. Watch it on that new “This Am Life” app you just bought.

Good Advice from Ira Glass

This was sent to me over the holidays, and made my month. The advice is priceless and perceptive, and I think almost everyone can relate: no one gets into game design because they want to make mediocre games, or takes up an instrument if they’re not in love with what music can do. Since it’s delivered by Ira Glass, who every week on This American Life reminds me how great radio can be, it felt like a special gift. Enjoy.

Remember: you’ve got to be a warrior. Best of luck to you all.
