Too close for missiles; switching to guns….
The last week has been the ultimate test of my development patience and intestinal fortitude (yyeeaaahhhh!!!). I’ve have spent probably around 12 to 15 hours creating, deleting, downloading, and veraciously swearing at certificates, provisioning profiles, and xcode trying to work the Apple Voodoo to get my app to be able to be signed, then accepted … Read more
I upgraded last last week to Firefox 3.5, and soon after noticed images all displayed quite a bit darker (rough example to the right) with blocked up shadows, and odd color aberrations. Well, come to find out the new version supports embedded color profiles in uploaded images. This sounds all fine and dandy, but why … Read more
I came across Seesmic the last week in a Mashable article, and decided to give it a try since they were talking it up quite a lot. As a bit of background I have been using Tweetdeck for a few months. I have it on every computer I own, including my iPhone, and I like … Read more
So we’ve spent almost the last week hangin’ with the fam here in Estes Park Colorado, and I have to say it’s probably one of the best places I have had the pleasure of vacationing. Nestled in the Rockies, right on the doorstep of the Rocky Mountain National Park, it’s scenic, laid back and a … Read more
IE 8 has been a huge step forward for Microsoft in their browser development, and also a step back. But this latest bit of marketing drivel has to make you stop and go “hmmmm.” So IE now supports web standards eh? Does that mean it passes the Acid 3 test? Surely it must, I mean … Read more
I am going to preface all of this by saying I love my iPhone. I do, it’s awesome. That being said, there are few things that really make me wonder just WTF they were thinking. On top of my WTF list is the processĂ‚Â involvedĂ‚Â in retrieving images sent to my phone from other mobile devices. I … Read more
What seems like something that could be right out of every gamers fantasy, Microsoft has concocted the idea of hands free, body sensing gaming and put it to pixels on the project website. The videos portray several scenarios of advanced game play and interaction, and I’ll be the first to say that if they could … Read more
So the other day was my birthday, and after dinner, cards, 3 boxes and a lot of packing popcorn I finally got the “You’re shittin’ me” moment when I torn into the last bit of wrapping and there I staring face to face with an iPhone box. With an iPhone in it. Seriously, this is … Read more
The other day when I installed Moblin back onto my Macbook with VMware, I just sort of went the route of set it, and forget it. I didn’t spend a lot of time playing, and didn’t pay a whole lot of attention either. I noticed the interface had changed, and like it, but that was … Read more
I originally installed Moblin 2 a while ago and was really impressed with how lightweight it was, how quickly it installed, and how absurdly fast it would boot. Well I fielded a couple of questions since then about a bit more detail, so I decided to put this slideshow together. Hosted from my Flickr account, … Read more
A few days ago I was wandering through Flickr and I ran across the image on the right, where norby used the grid layout to form complete images within the photostream. This is great. Not only are the photographs quite nice, but when added up into a grid utilizing the functionality of the site to … Read more
The last few days have been great, crazy fun and incredibly inspiring and informing. I have seen amazing imagery, spoken with amazing photographers and gotten to sponge off of decades of experience of all the instructors in the conference. Folks like Scott Kelby, Rod Harlan, Moose Peterson, Joe McNally, and Corey Barker just to name … Read more
I eat this stuff up, I really do. Going to conferences is always a great way to get back in touch with creativity; both technically and artistically. So far I have sat in on classes about creative composites, Illustrator Down & Dirty Tricks, Exploring 3D in Photoshop, and Exploring HDR. Good stuff, coming from a … Read more
After a couple of days messing around with my netbook trying to get it switched over to Linux, Ubuntu finally comes through for me and I get WiFi setup and on the net. Initially I started with the community guide on the Ubuntu site for getting Intrepid Ibex (8.10) up and running on my Acer … Read more
I decided a couple of days ago to rebuild my new Acer Aspire One to run on Moblin 2. Yeah, I know it’s only in Alpha, but I have it on my Mac, and it seemed cool so I jumped in and did it. It installed great from the USB drive I have. After using … Read more
