I really am starting to hate apple
So, I’ve been using macs for a long time, a really long time. Most of my computer using experience has been with a mac. I love them, and apple has the best Operating System out there. However, recently I’ve been having some problems.
I’ve had my current computer, a MacBook Pro, for a little while now. I got it when the Santa Rosa macs first came out. Since then it’s been...

Nicholas Negroponte making predictions at the 1984 TED conference. He was right about most of them.
The best part is him switching disks in the middle of his presentation. His approach to touch screens was very wrong, but hey, it was 1984.
He seemed to know a lot about Human-Computer interaction back then, I wonder where he lost his way (go use an OLPC and you’ll see what I mean)

My interview withPaul Scheer →
Can you think of a question lamer and more generic than the ones I asked? Yes, I can think of 2 —-What’s your Shirt Size? and Do you believe in photosynthesis?
I don’t give a shit about what anyone thinks of this one, it’s awesome.
Serious Issue
juliaheffernan: So, I have this problem where I don’t like showering twice a day. I usually shower at night during school so I can sleep later in the morning. But on vacation I have lost all resemblances of a schedule in my life. I didn’t shower last night and thought “well ok, no big deal I can just shower tomorrow morning.” But then in the morning I want to go to the beach and then I know I...

secret apple site
Oh... and Dashcode was updated too
Along with the SDK and the new set of Developer tools for the Aspen Platform (I’m going to only refer to those devices as this for now on), you can now make web apps in a WYSIWYG sort-of way (you will still need to write some code) for the Aspen Devices. Best of all you can test it right in the Aspen Simulator (which is literally a stripped down version of the real thing.)
AWESOME go check...

My interview with Jesse Thorn →
interviews:
How do you get such awesome guests to come on the show? Also, how do you decide who you want on the show? Well, the fact of the matter is that as awesome as the guests are in my eyes and yours, many of them are pretty unknown to the general public. Part of what I try to do with the show is share these people who are doing such amazing work with people who might not have heard of...
this is an art and technology focused tumblelog...
