One of the reasons I have not posted anything since the end of Jan is that I’ve been busy working on an iPad app. Â But I decided to take a 10 min break from Xcode and discuss a quick topic that struck me tonight. First, make sure you are sitting down because I’m going to…

iPad Early Thoughs
Wednesday was a very big day for me. Â Even though I worked late into the morning Tuesday night on a project for work, my wife kindly came in at 9:58 am and woke me so that we could watch the web as Apple announced the long awaited tablet. Â For over a year I’ve “known” approximately…
iWant – My Apple Tablet Wish List
Since my devistating review of the Camangi WebStation I’ve had some time to think about what my vision is for the soon to be announced Apple tablet. This isn’t a prediction of what I think it will be, but rather a look at what I hope it will be. Of course I originally wrote this…
10 realities of having your iPhone stolen
LOS ANGELES OCTOBER, 2009 Imagine you’re on vacation enjoying a day at Disneyland with your family. You get your iPhone out of your pocket and it’s in your hand. You set it down on the seat next to you for a second to help your 4 year old, then a few seconds later you suddenly…
WWDC T-Minus 4 Weeks
With less than 30 days until WWDC I’m starting to get anxious about what new Apple iGadgets might (or might not) be released. Will Steve Jobs be back from his curious sick leave to unveil the next big thing? Or will it be another disappointing and uneventful keynote? The rumors have certainly been flowing recently…
Boom!BOOM! Shotgun PRO App-ers Wage War on Competition
In 1986 I went into my local Atari ST store and was furious to find a cheap Othello-type game selling for $30 – which was like 100 bucks in ’86. Â Why sooo serious?! Â Well, because in my opinion it was a total rip off. Â First off it showed no creativity – the graphics were just…
The Original iPod Shuffle is Still The Best
Ok… Unfortunately I’m old enough to have lived through old Coke vs New Coke vs Classic Coke – which by the way isn’t the same as the old Coke. This might be just a matter of taste too, but I belive the original iPod Shuffle is still the best iPod Shuffle. By now it’s quite…
Goodbye Old G5 – You Served Me Well
This week I sold my old G5 along with a 23″ Cinema Wide Display, a BlackMagic card, Sonnet Tempo eSata card, and a Sonnet Fusion 500P populated with 5 x 500GB hard drives. It was a complete edit system including lots of fast storage, but as part of my “out with the old – in…
UPDATED: Make Tomorrowland.com one of your Top Sites in Safari 4
Like many others, I downloaded the beta of Safari 4 and am trying to get used to the new window layout. One of the new features shows all your top visited sites as a grid of thumbnails. While on the surface it’s an interesting feature, it’s a bit annoying in it’s current state. Â It also…
Making iPhone Ringtones
I’ve had my iPhone since day one. My wife and I stood in line, shelled out full price times two, and have been using them ever since. By the way, you know you have a winner of a bride if A) she’s hot and B) she’ll stand in line with you to get an iPhone….
