Three wolves™

I'm grieving. I feel like Apple and I had a connection, a beautiful thing going. From that first Powerbook and iPod I brought way back in 2003, to the iPod shuffle I got from a friend cause I just had to have another apple goodies, to the all the little peripherals I brought for my mac, to watching steve at every keynote, to buying all the latest operating ...

With the recent announcement of the iPhone hitting our shores, i for one am super excited and will be one of the first to be experiencing a whole new world of mobile phone goodness (oh yeah, it's also an iPod, a GPS, a movie player, a web browser, an organiser...) I was looking through the features, and one of the cooler ones: visual voicemail (the ability to see all ...

Well, it came and went. I got up at 6am, the geek that I am (I mean who gets up at 6am to listen to computer companies announce new products???). It was a pretty good keynote from Steve Jobs. He announced a bunch of things, but most prominently was the new 'MacBook Air'. A nice and thin portable which looks amazing. There's some new Apple TV stuff which my ...

A very interesting article on canonical web designs over at bokardo.com Here's just a few of the juicy, thought inducing quotes from the article: So, as a web designer, there is no analog to “look at this logo and see how it stands for a company”.

find yourself at the pub and your mate's brought you a beer and you end up leaving before you can buy him a round? Or has a friend ever done something nice for ya and you've thought "Man, I need to buy that guy a beer"? Well, now you can let that person know with Foamee. You gotta have a twitter account though. I knew twitter was good for ...

This is hilarious.

Not that i'm much of a trainspotter, but having surfed TradeMe quite a lot recently in my search for the perfect Alfa, it seems I've developed a keen eye for when they change things. Such as when I noticed today that the list view in the Trademe motors section has now been updated with a larger thumbnail (now the same size as the gallery view thumbnail), they've increased the ...

How long this will last I don't know, but go to the Microsoft Office 2008 site and you'll see.... nothing. Except for some text links down the bottom which I think really ruin the overall design anyway. Is this a sign of things to come? A big black hole? I know I won't be using this software regardless of whether or not they have a lush promo site. Congrats ...

I'm taking my life online. Well, my RSS feeds anyway. It's a little daunting ("What if the web goes down?", etc etc) but it's going to be better in the long run. I've dropped NetNewsWire Lite in favor of Google reader. I want to be able to keep my RSS reader links at work and on the Powerbook at home in sync with each other, but at the moment ...

So the other day when our dollar was insanely high against the US (80 cents) I ordered a book from Amazon. My order went through smartly, and I thought all was well. A few weeks later I started wondering where my nice book had got to, when around the same time I got an email from amazon saying that the shipping of my book had been delayed due to ...
