Astonishingly, that subject line is on topic for today’s bit of published work, which can be found at PC Authority: Amazing Apps for your iPhone: Let The Music Play! “Your iPhone isn’t just limited to iPod style playback, thanks to these music-centric apps.”
Good question. Not one I’ve had to explicitly answer, as my B.A was in History/English/Communication Studies; a weird mixed bag of things that not even my lecturers were aware was within the rules at the time. Then again, I don’t think I’ve done too badly out of it, all things considered. Today’s offerings include a …
And I’ve been getting things done. Mostly Apple-centric stuff today, at least in terms of what’s been published. At MacTheBlog, there’s my ruminations on Augmented Reality applications: MacTheBlog: Reality needs augmentation: “Now, before I start, I should point out that I really hate the term “augmented reality”.” And then at PC Authority, on a completely …

I don’t have a child called Buddy, but my kids are certainly making a racket today. While I go and gently educate them round the head with a lump of wood*, amuse yourself with these two reviews live today at GadgetGuy.com.au: Apple iPod Shuffle: “Do new colours denote these as a new generation of iPod …

Wow. Quite a busy week. Exceptionally so, but this is a good thing, with many projects lining up nicely in my sights. Makes a nice change, actually. While I’m trying to slow down for the weekend (they have these things called weekends now. You totally should try them. They’d look good on you.), you can …
(as sung to the tune of “Blowin’ In The Wind”) Ah, when I was but a spritely* seventeen year old, that was the height of comedy. And a big hello to any members of 3UM who might be reading this. Which, as the odds would have it, would probably be none of you. And the …

First story off the cab ranks, at APCMag.com. And in a shock move, it involves Apple. Well, sorta. I may well end up hearing from Apple’s army of lawyers over this one… Fake Phil Schiller: what Apple has in store for 2009: “We intercepted Fake Phil Schiller sneaking in to Steve Jobs’ carspot at Cupertino …

No, really, there is. Well, there is if you’re looking out my dining room window, anyway. Your windows may vary. Speaking of variance, what’s the least varied thing I could be writing about today? If you answered “Modem emulation on a VIC 20 RS-232 Port“, then you couldn’t be more wrong, and I’d suggest that …

While a lot of my writing has, of late, been dominated by the online world, I do still scribe out words that end up on bits of flattened trees. Such is the case with the June 2008 issue of PC User Magazine, which is so rich with Alex-penned goodness, they’d only need an Alex centrefold …
