I do believe it’s a first for Apple, Inc. but Steve Jobs just delivered a keynote where a new product was announced that had absolutely everything in it that people were rumoring about. The Apple iPhone. Does it have a nice, big screen? Yes. How about Wifi and Bluetooth? Yes. Plays video flawlessly? Yes. New Read more »
Lots of Applephone, iPhone, iMobile Pictures
Jan. 5, 2007
By now you’ve probably read all the rumored specs on this mysterious Apple cellular device: Bluetooth, Wifi, high resolution screen, touchscreen, slide out keyboard, 14 years battery life, blah, blah, etc. The bottom line is that everyone wants this phone to everything that other phones don’t do, or at least don’t do well. The problem Read more »
Helium Report Beats Robb Report at Alexa and Other Observations
Dec. 11, 2006
I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving! We ended up doing a lot of driving but that’s what happens when there are two families to visit! I haven’t written in awhile because so many things have been going on, but here’s a quick recap of some things I thought were interesting.
2006 WWDC Anti-Predictions
Aug. 6, 2006
The day that Mac geeks wait for every year has arrived, and instead of doing the usual “what’s going to be said” blog entry, I’m going the opposite route and predicting what won’t be announced. Let’s do it! No iPhone. I say this one more because I hope I’m proved wrong, but to be honest, Read more »
Haute Interfaces

So much is made of good web-based user interface design, that sometimes we overlook just how amazing some software interfaces are, namely high-end audio/visual development software. Many of these tools cost thousands of dollars, so you can bet that the companies have their very best talent pumping out amazing interfaces that to justice to the Read more »
Apple and 50 Cent Working On New eMac?
Jun. 19, 2006
AllHipHop.com has some interesting news from the music industry this morning: it seems 50 Cent and Steve Jobs are currently in talks to bring a lower priced computer to inner city families. Both my parents work in an inner city school district, so I know very well how difficult it is for their students’ families Read more »
Photoshop On MacBook Pro: What Slow Really Means
Apr. 8, 2006
The last time I wrote about Photoshop on the new MacBook Pro I was vilified. This time I’ll probably be vilified again for saying the following sentence: Do not buy a MacBook Pro if you are a Photoshop user. Period. CNET just reviewed the MacBook Pro’s performance when running a variety of applications on both Read more »
I Bought The 770
Jan. 26, 2006
…and I’m using it to post this weblog entry! So far I’m incredibly impressed with its size, ridiculous display (I’ve already got a custom 9rules background on it!), web browsing capabilities and CSS rendering, speed, industrial design, and just about everything else that I could be impressed by. I’ve even got a Bluetooth keyboard up Read more »
The Flock Movie: Movies 2.0
Dec. 4, 2005
OMFG there’s a new movie coming out called “The Flock” and it’s totally going to be Movies 2.0. Forget everything you know about Movies 1.0, 2.0 is the next logical step and it’s going to be amazing. It will do everything you want, everything you need, and lots of stuff you didn’t realize you wanted Read more »
Intelligent Design Now Taught In Kansas, Bordering States Feeling Pretty Good About Themselves
Nov. 10, 2005
On Tuesday, the Board of Education in Kansas voted 6-4 in favor of discussing the “flaws” in evolutionary theory to students. This means that Intelligent Design, which is the theory that the universe is too complex and a higher power must have intervened in its creation, will be taught at the high school level right Read more »

My newest software find comes from the neverending genius of David Watanabe, maker of the best Mac P2P software on the planet Acquisition, one of the nicest RSS readers NewsFire, and now the coolest search add-on for Safari, Inquisitor.

Go check out Print Promotion, a great new company for printing all that’s fit to print. And while you’re at it, check out The Growth Cycle, Print Responsibly, and Promoso — some more sites that are in the same network, and designed by my good friend Michael Simmons.
Mozilla Drops Ball on NY Times Posters
Feb. 18, 2005
Remember when Firefox ran the 2-page ad in The New York Times? Well Mozilla sells posters of that advertisement for just under $7, so it’s a pretty good deal if you’re a Firefox fan. In fact, everyone outside the U.S. who doesn’t have access to the print version of the Times would probably be buying Read more »
