Macworld covers an Apple special event on September 1st.

I started work today on an iPhone project with a friend.

It took me a while to learn Objective-C.

One of the things that made me like Xcode more and become more efficient with it is realizing that while all coders are insane, me and Xcode’s designers are insane in different ways.

iTunes prior to 9.0 used a click on the zoom widget to convert to the mini player, leaving people like me who actually like to zoom a window option-clicking it. iTunes 9.0 finally fixed this.

Bruce over on WarpedVisions writes on entering the world of Objective-C and Cocoa development.

I first started developing an application for Palm in 2000 with the Palm IIIc.

It’s way too early to tell if LaCie is still the “all that and a bag of chips” hard drive company, but I can tell you this right away: The case is the best external case I’ve ever personally bought, and probably better than the stackable system Discovery…

I’ve been using this iMac for a few weeks, and I’ve noticed an odd melty-plastic smell from time to time.

I picked up a nice, shiny 24” iMac on Friday from Simply Computing in Langley for my employer to replace my elderly Core Solo mini.

Gruber at Daring Fireball writes about the restriction of one application at a time on the iPhone.

So I’m about five days into my free .Mac trial, and I thought I’d write up some thoughts.

Apple claims to have fixed the issue where applications could run automatically out of a Time Machine backup.

In Where Keyboard Shortcuts Win, Gruber talks about Tog’s findings on mouse vs. keyboard.

A few days ago I re-added a search field to this site.
