My friend Lian recently posted this photo on Flickr:

Seeing this phone brought back memories of some of the first mobile phones I ever owned. I started to dig up a couple of photos to post in the comments. In the time since then, I felt compelled to try to [...]

“Mac Owners Are Snobs” and in other unrelated news, I got a MacBook Air

Date February 17, 2008

Its true. I did. Hooray! So far (apart from a couple of initial wrinkles - i.e. runaway kernel_tasks which I think I discovered the root of) I love it. I will post a more thorough review in the next few days.
In the meantime, check out this study by Mindset Media, that found that Mac users [...]

Date January 18, 2008

Gizmodo has a great post on how Apple industrial designer extraordinaire, Jonathan Ive, seems to have gotten his inspiration for Dieter Rams, product designer for Braun in the 1960s. Make sure you check out all the similarities in the post as well as the gallery of Braun products at the bottom - maybe you’ll find [...]

My Indispensable Mac Photo Tools: FlickrExport + Keyword Assistant

Date May 22, 2006

Like many Mac users, I use iPhoto to collect all the photos I take and Flickr to share the ones I want to share. For a long time, getting photos from iPhoto to Flickr was a somewhat painful process. The Uploader Flickr provides is very limited in functionality and takes forever to upload a large [...]
