Robot For President!
If you’ve ever read Plato’s “The Republic” then you understand his point of view on government.
I think the easier way to think about it is to watch a gameshow like “Who Wants To Be a Millionaire” or “1 Vs 100″. The formats are similar; contestants are asked to answer questions and as the [...]
You ever think about what makes working in a Mac app so great?
While an app’s functionality has a lot to do with it, it’s really the things you don’t think about that make you appreciate working on a Macintosh, and in particular OSX.
Here’s a few hints from some Mac apps:
Adium
Address Book
Camino
CSS Edit
Cyberduck
iTunes
Omni Outliner
Safari
Transmission
VoodooPad Lite
Do you [...]
Shortly after Barack Obama announced his plans for a Presidential exploratory committee, Hillary Clinton did the same. Let’s compare statements from their announcements.
Obama says -
…before I committed myself and my family to this race, I wanted to be sure that this was right for us and, more importantly, right for the country.
Hillary says -
I’m not [...]
I can’t stand Snap.
Snap Preview Anywhere is a little pop-up that webmasters can install on their site to provide a preview window to outgoing links. In writing it sounds useful, right? In actual use it does nothing but disrupt the flow of web surfing and tell you if the linked site’s layout might look good [...]
You heard me.
Frisky Dingo is a new show on Adult Swim. It’s about a super-villain trying to thrust the Earth into the Sun. The first episode is about him trying to hype his evilness – basically the difficulty he has marketing himself and his super-evil image. It was available for free on iTunes a while [...]

Then THIS story breaks.
Apparently Timbaland, Furtado’s record producer on “Loose,” is accused of stealing a 2000 mod composition [...]
Oh how wrong I was.
Nothing at all about Leopard or upgraded Macs. Just the Apple TV and the iPhone, AKA “cool phone that nobody can afford.” Actually, it’s more like “Coolest phone in the world that nobody can afford.”
Watching the keynote now.
Yes, right after Christmas.
Next week we have a few things coming up.
CES CES is usually not a big deal, but there’s an rumored Xbox 360 announcement. If this is a new revision with a price drop and bigger HD I might bite. NAMM I really, really, really would like to see a Logic upgrade. It makes sense with [...]
Today was the first time I heard something from Nelly Furtado’s latest album “Loose.” No, I haven’t been living under a rock. I’m not even really into Nelly Furtado, so I can’t weigh in on if she sold out with this latest album. I do know that I like what I’ve heard from Loose more [...]
