“My thought on if you should upgrade? Well, if you are at all an iPhone junkie (as in, you use your iPhone more than the maximum amount even possible) then I think the upgrade is well worth it. The speed, better camera, and Siri are all something you’ll benefit from every day (even if you’re already on an iPhone 4).”

Following up on Jon’s fantastic GR Echo water test, here’s my Echo after an hour in really heavy rain.
It is soaked. Completely.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been trying to post more content that will hopefully be of interest to people like me.
I’ve also been meaning to upgrade a few areas of the site such as the sharing links (which shouldn’t appear on the homepage), adding a Google +1 button and an Instapaper ‘read later’ button. These are all now visible when you click through to a post.
After a bit of custom HTML work, using the Tumblr {block:PermalinkPage}, I managed to get things looking how I wanted to.
I’ve also implemented rel="author" with a Google Profile page for search results:
Hopefully that should start showing up over the next week or so in Google’s search results.
If you have any comments on what you think of the site or any requests on things you’d like to see, leave a comment or just ask!
