Wunderlist is a free todo list application – or suite of applications – which launched recently for Mac OS, Windows, iPhone, iPad, and Android. They also provide a very nice web client client. The A-Number-1-killer feature is free cloud syncing between all versions. This means you can install Wunderlist on your Mac at [...]
Vanity Fair is a favorite guilty pleasure of mine. Each month I can pretend to be smart while reading an essay by Christopher Hitchens and then turn the page to photographs of a beautiful celeb-u-tant when the words get too big. I have the first dual iPhone/iPad application but it is lackluster. It’s not bad [...]
I’m loving the ads around town for the Portland Timbers. The ads were created by local advertising powerhouse Wieden + Kennedy and feature Portlanders carrying axes, chainsaws, and otherwise looking like they’re ready to fend off a zombie apocalypse. All the models are “real” people, attractive but not overwhelmingly so (you can imagine actually [...]
I have tried the heralded iPad app “The Daily” and it is lackluster. There are many reviews out that get into deep details: Daring Fireball TidBITs Fonts In Use (for all your kerning needs) By in large these reviews are negative but hopeful. These three linked above are very thorough and give the app far [...]
Update! I have a much more elegant solution to this problem. The Problem Internet Explorer 9 beta supports CSS3 rounded corners with the border-radius property. Internet Explorer 9 beta does not support CSS3 gradients but continues to support the legacy, proprietary, gradient filter for creating gradient backgrounds on html elements. Unfortunately, the two do not [...]
Recent news followed by my pithy remarks. MacBook Air Announced Without Pony. Bloggers Demand Pony. The (ever) Daring Fireball and Paul Boutin at Slate are lamenting the fact that the newly announced Mac sub-notebook doesn’t have some manner of cellular EVDO type of use-anywhere-networking-just-like-the-iPhone support. A quote: Like me, Boutin was hoping for ubiquitous wireless [...]
I’ve created my own WordPress Theme (coinciding nicely with the 2.3.2 upgrade). When I kissed RapidWeaver goodbye, and re-familiarized myself with WordPress, I didn’t want to spend time customizing a web site design…I just wanted to fix the problem of me not posting very often. I discovered the Ideal Website theme – which is pretty [...]
I’ve been procrastinating updating my site for a while: noodling with layout ideas; thinking about whether I should rework abouthalf.com to be simply a portfolio site (since most of my blogging takes place on Blueplate Bachelor nowadays anyway) or setting up a sub-domain for my professional activities; and how to handle putting up snapshots and [...]
So I made the switch-a-roo and dumped MS Office of my system (safely archived on the original install CDs). Above you see a sliver of the Terminal, Activity Monitor (‘cuz it’s neat), Coda, Numbers, Pages, and NeoOffice. NeoOffice is there to do “heavy lifting” in case I run across some Office-y type function I can [...]
The Steve-note is online at Apple’s web site. If you care about such things, you’ve already watched it. If you don’t, it is a great opportunity to see the best salesman of our time in action. http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/s83522y/event/index.html?internal=g4h5jl83a You’ve heard the old phrase “He could sell [stereotype] to [ethnicity]“. Well he could. In all seriousness, if [...]
