360MacDev
Monday, December 12th, 2011If it's an Apple-related 360|Conferences event, it's a safe bet I'll be there. The iDev and MacDev conferences are two of my favorites, and come February I'll be taking stage to shock, awe, surprise, and delight. If you make Mac software, you should go. And since it'll be in Denver, ...
Speaking Engagements
Wednesday, September 29th, 2010You may know that I design things for a living. You may also know that I occasionally get up in front of rooms to talk about designing things for a living. Two such events are coming up. The first is 360iDev in Austin, where I'll be talking about how developers can ...
forkly
Monday, September 27th, 2010Forkly has a very clever system in place: your odds of being accepted increase as more of your friends sign up using your link. Clever not just for the obvious benefit of the link spreading, but also because the forkly team is limiting early access to those who have the ...
• Acquisition, Part One
Thursday, April 15th, 2010So how did I go about deciding I wanted to make iPhone apps, getting acquired, and becoming an executive at an award-winning iPhone development company?

Bad Gravity
Thursday, January 28th, 2010Brent Simmons on the iPad: My concern, though, is that people may think that Mac apps should include every possible feature and preference. The reasoning would be like this: “It’s not an iPad or iPhone. It’s a computer. Therefore it’s for power users. Therefore it should be totally customizable and have ...
Typewar Review
Friday, January 22nd, 2010It's a bit selfish and unfair, linking to a review of my own app. But when you design a game for a mobile phone, there's really no better compliment than this: I sure thought it was right up mine when I first spotted it last night. The game’s description warned ...

Zombies Need Your Help
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009Danny Newman's annual Zombie Crawl here in Denver was a huge success this year. Over 4,000 zombies. That's a lot of fucking zombies. But it came at a price: the city is fining Danny over $1,000 for "graffiti" due to the (fake) blood left on the 16th Street Mall. A call ...
Brightkite 2
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009Macworld has a piece on the new Brightkite iPhone app. They talk a lot about the service updates in general, but say very nice things about the app specifically.
