In praise of the Pre

Congrats to Matias Duarte, Wes Yun, and the team who worked on making the Palm Pre’s debut such a success. (If you haven’t seen the launch keynote, check it out.) Backtrack a little over 13, 14 months to a conversation I had with Wes and Matias about working for a project that they could not [...]

Initial thoughts on my iPhone

Replaced my aging and increasingly unreliable RazrV3 last week. Loved T-Mobile service in C-town, just couldn’t be beat, but, since we’re now elsewhere, sucked it up and decided to get the iPhone.  Initial thoughts: I like it. As an information junkie, I feel I shall never be at a loss again about where to go [...]

Damn you Steve Jobs

Now it is almost December and I am not only married but the owner of an AppleTV and an iPhone from which I am now blogging. All things I didn’t think would happen this year. Life comes at you fast.

Big change ahead

When I first started as a designer in this field about 12 years ago, one of the first things I remember wanting to design was the information displays on medical devices. It looks like I will finally get my chance! After a few grueling months of interviewing and constantly running into jobs being placed on [...]

Initial reactions to the Let’s Rock event

• Slightly worried at how thin the Man has gotten but he did (sic?) have pancreatic cancer, not exactly easy to shake off as far as cancers go. . . • NBC to return to iTunes. Shocker. So what happens to Hulu? Are they learning from their Olympic success and seeing how far the rabbit [...]

Google Chrome powered by . . . Apple?

Was dinking around with the Chrome browser last night and saw this: Weird. Bits of Mozilla and such. So does this mean we’re playing around with what is essentially with a souped up version of Safari? Like Spinal Tap: “These go to 11.”

New Google browser?

The latest ploy by Google to own a piece of your desktop is your browser? That’s what this comic shows. Google Chrome, coming soon. But if you were to create your own browser experience, what would it be like?

Something surprising

The other day I watched my four-year-old niece show exactly how conversant she is with the web. She is conversant to the degree that she can input in her own name and password into a site, and knows what the major web conventions are, and can play games with relative ease. Kinda makes you wonder [...]

Hate to say I told ya so

but not really. I suspected back in January at Macworld that the network would not be ready to handle the demand placed on it, and today Apple Insider confirms it: Instead, it’s believed that changes will need to be made on the part of 3G providers to optimize their networks “in terms of number of [...]
