Falling under the question of when is enough enough, I ran across this video from Corning featuring a nightmarish world where every surface is some form of glass and carries data. You can receive email while you’re brushing your teeth. You can video chat with Grandma on a tabletop, and apparently the glass will also [...]
As I wrote earlier this summer, Apple released version 10 of its market leading video editing software Final Cut Pro, only to start losing its current core market, professional editors. Much complaining has been loosed upon the Internets, long and loudly, about FCPX and what it left out of its initial release, but one of [...]
Have you ever searched for something on Google and been directed to a blog or site that, while hosting some relevant information, just looks…wrong? I mean, the design is from some crappy template and the page is oozing with leprous boils of terrible advertisements — the Obama-wants-moms-back-in-school, 1-tip-to-reduce-belly-fat type of advertisements.

Designers and developers advocated for web standards compliance, while creating hundreds of hacks that made CSS layouts work in all browsers.

Much has been written about the rise of the iPad as a legitimate device for creating music. Personally, I think a lot of that talk was hype (at least early-on), but no longer. While GarageBand is not going to replace ProTools or Logic as industry standards in recording, it has found its home for EASILY [...]
I just stumbled upon an article about a concept Toyota has been working on that they have coined the “Window to the World.” It’s basically an interactive window for the passengers in the back seat. With the interactive window you can draw using your finger, zoom in on objects, estimate the distance of objects and [...]
If you work in an ad agency or creative shop, chances are you spend a lot of time in front of a Macintosh. If you don’t, please take this opportunity to promptly destroy any other computer with a Louisville Slugger. Remember Office Space? You get the idea. Even the people at Microsoft make their ads [...]
I had the experience of dealing with someone illegally using my checking account for their personal gain. Do you realize the hassle you have to go through to secure that it doesn’t happen again? When I discovered the unauthorized deduction from the checking account, I immediately called the bank and asked them how could they [...]
