moo cards round 2: So uhh… yeah. I liked the last batch but there were a few things on the text side I didn’t like and then I felt that the old ones didn’t pop enough. Seeing as I now knew the exact dimensions I had to work with I set out to make a new batch. Yeah, a little more traditional, I know, but it’s an awkward format to work with. The next batch will be unique, I promise. Uploaded with plasq’s Skitch
A delicious word cloud: I spied this one off of the admartinator’s flickr feed, “Wordle - Beautiful Word, a site that will take a bunch of words (or del.icio.us tags in my case) and turn them into a really cool word cloud. As you can see my del.icio.us tags are heavy on web design, RapidWeaver, mac and Apple. What else would you expect? Uploaded with plasq’s Skitch
kicking it in the shade: Here is my oldest child, back in town for the summer, enjoying summer vacation the only way a kid should; kicking it in the shade with a cool drink, doing nothing particularly important but being totally absorbed in it all the same. I must admit a bit of jealousy as I sit indoors doing the things that grow-ups do for all but a few short weeks in the summer; work. I raise a cheer to the boy doing his summer best to forget all that is wintery and for shaking every ounce of responsibility from his very being. I live vicariously through you.
I dun did broke RW?: Ouch! In an attempt to understand what it was that was holding up my RapidWeaver page view I decided to sample the processes going on behind the hung app… and uh… this is what I got. I don’t know what caused my troubles for sure but I hope I don’t do it again.
Rogers Wireless Home Page: Umm… yeah we know already… did you miss the news conference? It’s like… nearly 24 hours AFTER the fact and you are still covered in a shroud of mystery? Sheesh, no wonder you tell me two years after the fact that my current plan was made obsolete two years ago, you are just THAT clueless. So will I be standing in line on July second while your Rogers employees are wondering what all the fuss is about? Or do you think you might let them in on that little secret before then?
Apple Store (Canada) - iPhone 3G: A 3G iPhone in Canada for $199 AND Rogers new and improved data plans? Oh yeah, I see an iPhone in MY future. This is pretty cool since I am so involved with iPhone software developers and the most I can do to simulate the experience is to use the iPhone Simulator app in the iPhone developers SDK. Do I need this phone? Not really, but for $199 I can really say no to be honest.
Apple Canada: Server trouble?
Apple Canada - iPhone: Here it is ladies and gentleman, it is 1005 official, the iPhone is in Canada and is on the Apple Canada website. It has been long awaited for us Canadian folk who felt a little ripped off considering the gap between Canada and the United States is a mere few meters. I can say nothing more that hooray for the iPhone coming to Canada.
The Daily Slurp: I love so many showcase sites, but none more than The Daily Slurp. You can’t submit to the slurp (or not so that anyone is really paying attention), the slurp just happens to you. And that is exactly the case with FlipSide5, which got Slurped on June 4th.
your moo minicards are inside: Ohh… shiny… new… cards… mmmm! So I thought I’d better order myself a new batch of cards to go with the new seyDoggy 2008 website, something more in-line with the site itself. I decided to go with moo (they love to print) as they are cheap enough that if I didn’t like the concept, I could afford scrap the whole lot. You’ll notice the impulse purchase, the card holder that moo now offers, which is equally shiny and new, and I must admit, VERY handy. I haven’t yet found room in my pocket to actually use it as a key chain, but I working on it.
