It’s rare that I find a TV commercial that moves me. Even more rare that Google be on the other end and responsible for that TV commercial. But yesterday during the Super Bowl, I was blown away. With…

Anonymous asked: Do you listen to music while designing? And do you prefer coding vs graphics work?
I listen to tons of music while designing. In fact, I hate designing without it. For me, it’s the best way to tune out the outside world and focus on designing.
I’d say that I prefer graphics work. I get more enjoyment out of creative problem solving. But having the technical knowledge of how something (that you’re designing) will be built is extremely useful.

Google not only makes a browser, a phone, an OS, and Google Docs, it also owns a tremendous amount of video content that can be converted to play in HTML5, sans plug-in. Apple not only makes Macs, iPhones, and iPads, it is also among the largest retail distributors of video and audio content.

Too Much Complaining
I’m going to try to make this quick. Even though the iPad didn’t get as warm a welcome as one would have thought, I definitely wasn’t expecting to hear so much complaining about it. It’s pretty annoying.
Get over it! Who cares if it doesn’t have all the bells & whistles to it. It wasn’t meant to solve world peace. This is what happens when you drink all the juice of the tech analysts that run wild with speculations. When have they ever been spot on? And even if they were, someone would find some reason to complain.
If you don’t like the iPad, thats ok, just go buy something else. But did you ever stop to think, that if this device really upsets you that much, then maybe you just aren’t the target market?
