In his latest post, Derek Powazek talks about designing for the iPad and contrasts it to his fifteen years of doing web design and even more years of experience with print design. A key point he…

Creativity Dominates Today’s Links →
So my daily aggregate of links shared on Twitter is far from daily thus far, but that’s okay. It’s meant to be supplemental, and some days I share a lot on Twitter whilst other days I may not even…

I miss you.
I miss you in my life. Your enthusiasm, your passion, that attitude that no one could take you down.
I miss you when things are quiet around here, and the world passes by slowly. Where have you gone? At what point did I really lose you?
You never cared much about what people said of you, preferring to focus only on helpful criticism and kind words, ignoring everything else.
You wouldn’t...

Dammit. Now I’m craving a donut.
This is what I get for checking Tumblr instead of doing what I should be doing, which is reading more.

Much Ado About Phones →
Yesterday included not just my own blog post, but also lots of chatter on Twitter about the mobile phone industry. And some other things.

My original reblog of chartier
From dig-the-cat’s reblog:
…
Still, I don’t see how this is Apple’s own making when the official line from very early on has been that this is an issue which effects all smart phones. It’s becoming increasingly obvious this is the case as more and more videos of bars dropping on other phones come to light....

Telling Steve Jobs (indirectly) that he “should wear a suit” probably almost killed the deal entirely before they even met to discuss it. What a ridiculously ignorant move by the AT&T drone.

See, that’s when Jobs should’ve shown up to the AT&T board room naked except for a perfect full Windsor tied around Steve’s Jobs.
Or just a white...
“We’re Apple. We don’t wear suits. We don’t even own suits.”
– From an article about Apple’s relationship with AT&T: ”The companies apparently squabbled over small things as well, as the two corporate cultures did not mesh well. At one point, an AT&T representative reportedly told one of Jobs’ deputies that the company co-founder should wear a suit to...
More ideas than time: Last week's news

I want last week’s news, but only what I need to know, and only if it has proven to have relevance beyond the day it was published.
Tell me an overview of what happened in a given field, like technology, but with the hindsight of a week to sleep on it and evaluate what really matters. The delay also provides more time for investigation and analysis to reduce blind speculation,...

The Pursuit of Happiness, part 1
Back when I was but a wee lad of five or six years, my parents put me on one of the three public schools in our local town. It was the same one my six-years-older sister was attending, and was considered the nicest of the three. Yet picky as I was, even back then, I wasn’t happy. Without any of this being in my own recollection—my memories of those years are mostly just vague images devoid of...

Old Spice Week →
Here are some links I’ve shared recently. Some items below have additional elaboration, beyond the 140 characters allotted by Twitter. This will be a new trend for me, hopefully a daily one where I…
