You Are Number 6

posted by DL Byron on April 23, 2010

In a monetizing Junta, Facebook just took over the web. While some of us got really scared, it’s likely most didn’t notice or will care.




Realistically, the proportion of people who, like me, find Facebook’s plans profoundly creepy, is probably pretty small.

And I thought

The Guardian Eyewitness Xray

posted by DL Byron on April 17, 2010

The iPad is controversial with bloggers and techies. The debates are about Flash, a closed system from Apple, the future of computers, and so on. Lost in those debates are moments you have with the iPad, where a vivid image pops like this or this. Sure the iPad has touchiness, but we had that with iPhones. It’s fast too and sleek. When Jobs said the iPad is magical, I think he meant seeing a photo like this in an app. I’ve got opinions on the debates as well, but also have been enjoying the iPad for what it is. Mac Create loaned it to me to test for my new role as their Mobile Evangelist.

iPad Documents

posted by DL Byron on April 14, 2010

To get content out of an email in iPad, I just selected all, cut and paste to Pages, and then exported the Pages doc via iTunes. There’s no other way to describe that process than awkward or more aptly: closed ecosystem FTW! Note that you can also email the doc to yourself or share it on iWork. Guess you could paste it into a blog post, save it unpublished for later or a note and then sync that to Apple Mail.

You Are Dinosaurs

posted by DL Byron on April 08, 2010

The iPhone 4.0 announcement was like reading the Hammer of the Gods, the part where Billy Idol insults Led Zeppelin, calling them dinosaurs, and telling them to frack off. What I saw was Jobs as Idol, Apple representing GenX, and Publishers as dinosaurs.

iPad Keynote

Andy Clarke’s iPad was around An Event Apart Seattle and he was kind enough to let me play with it. We also had coffee with words like touchiness and appvertorial coming up in the conversation. I’m old enough to remember the desktop publishing revolution, there for blogging, and it seems I’ll see another with the iPad.

Not entirely sure how it’ll unfold, but it will, and this is the start of it.

That’s Jeffrey killing it on stage during another An Event Apart in Seattle.
