My Dad and the iPad

Much has been written about the iPad the past week or so, from the inspiring to the inept. I doubt I can be as elequent as the folks mentioned below, but I want to tell you my story.
My dad is 71 and has Parkinson’s. He’s had it for over 10 years now, and I can [...]


The Apple Tablet and iDVD

Bear with me:
The Apple tablet is going to be awesome, we all know it. But in my mind, what is going to make me want to buy one? The software..
Right before the PowerMac G4 came out, I was ready to plop down some money for a new Macintosh. I was leaning towards the next [...]


Xcode: Duplicating a target and changing it’s type? Don’t…

This is why Apple is still cool..

Steven Frank: They understand there are problems, and they are listening and acting.
Recently an update to my small pregnancy tracking application was unexpectedly delayed for a month and a half. Towards the end of that time I was pretty frustrated, with no communication at all from Apple.
But then I got a very nice [...]


Busy

I mentioned a few posts ago that I’ve been busy. With what you ask?
• Being a father to a wonder 10 month old daughter.

Steve Jobs Liver Transplant

There’s been confirmation today that Steve Jobs did get a liver transplant, and he was pretty sick when he got it.
From the press release:
He received a liver transplant because he
