A New Cookbook Update: Recipe Themes!

Comment in News (13 diggs, 0 replies) - on 07/12/2007
This Digg write-up has a better description. I hate digg write-ups that are just "copy-and-paste" jobs that don't really give you a summary of what you're going to see. Oh, and I'm looking forward to using Cookbook. (see comment)

My Dream App Announces Developer Competition for Season 2

Comment in News (3 diggs, 2 replies) - on 05/03/2007
This competition is like the American Idol of software development. All the good stuff, none of the bad singing. ;) Note: I was involved as a judge in the final round of MDA 1, so I am biased. :) (see comment)

Cha-Ching 1.0 Released This Friday

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 04/19/2007
How in the world did all of you miss the very obvious joking nature of the release page? Note to myself: don't try and be funny with an app release or website release, most people on the internet are not equipped to understand jokes apparently. (see comment)

Finally! A New Macheist is up!!!!

Comment in News (3 diggs, 0 replies) - on 04/02/2007
It's a Mini-Heist - 5.5. Heist 6 will be coming soon, I guess. 5.5 is quite fun, and you can do it on your own, just take your time. The thread on Macheist has too many quick giveaways. (see comment)

The Round Mound of Unsound (John Dvorak) unleashes Apple iPhone troll

Comment in News (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 03/29/2007
There's a difference between providing a different point of view and trolling. There is very little among Dvorak's comments that is of any value, but that is not the problem. The problem is the completely wrong and asinine statements he makes. The anal … (see comment)

RFID tags make Wi-Fi enabled iPod and Apple Remote possible

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 03/08/2007
This is just brilliant in its simplicity, as far as I can tell. I wouldn't be surprised if there's one hiding in the new Airport Extremes - though I'm not claiming or even guessing that there is, it just wouldn't surprise me. I don't know RFID tec … (see comment)

Looking back on Disco's development and the controversy surrounding it

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 03/07/2007
What's great is what you won't notice or think about while using it. You won't go "which tool do I need to make a copy of this disc?" You won't wonder which options you should turn on. You'll stick in a disc, it will present you with two buttons or so, … (see comment)

Brian Ball of macZOT screws developer out of $5,520

Comment in News (4 diggs, 0 replies) - on 01/05/2007
I also was treated unprofessionally by MacZot during my first (and last) purchase there. My story has been documented on my blog, but I write this here only to add my voice to the crowd. It does not appear to be an isolated incident that MacZot has acte … (see comment)
