iPad + Velcro. This gave me a lot of ideas, though, I think the part where it’s place right on the stove is pretty dumb. Otherwise, pretty cool stuff.

Chill Mode Mix Vol. 5→
This is the latest installment of the Chill Mode Mix series, which, from most of the comments I’ve heard about this site, seems to be the favorite. I have to say, that it’s fun making them too, and…

How Does it End?→
Lester: Tell me something Jimmy, how exactly do you think it all ends?
Jimmy: What do you mean?
Lester: A parade? A golden watch? A shining, Jimmy McNulty day moment, when you bring in a case so sweet everybody gets together and says “aw shit, he was right all along. we should have listened to…

Beats by Madlib→
To say that I listen to Madlib (and Madlib produced tracks) would be a huge understatement. He’s yet another producer in my top 5, if not top 3. I try to get everything that he has his hands in,…

Annnnd we’re back. Seems like it’s been forever since I’ve made a mix. Busy busy times. Even though my move didn’t happen quite yet, I had to hook back up the speakers and show this site some…

When you write like everyone else and sound like everyone else and act like everyone else, you’re saying, “Our products are like everyone else’s, too.” Or think of it this way: Would you go to a dinner party and just repeat what the person to the right of you is saying all night long? Would that be interesting to anybody? So why are so many businesses saying the same things at the biggest party on the planet — the marketplace?
This looks amazing and peaceful. When I picture a dream house, it’s not too far off from this.
Designed by Douglas Fredrikson Architects. The rest of the house looks just as good.

I don’t think I’ll be buying any more desktops going forward. I don’t think I’ll even be buying any more laptops going forward. They’ve all been largely obsoleted (at least at my home) by a sleek $499 device that doesn’t really have any right to be called a “computer” in the traditional sense.
While I don’t feel the same way exactly (about never buying desktops/laptops), it’s really interesting to read of a big-time techies’ story with how the iPad was accepted within his family.
From the article ‘What iPads Did To My Family’.

Holy traffic! So we launched the TappGala site late last week, and as you see, pretty small numbers to start. Then we hit a huge spike, with much thanks to David Kaneda for linking it up.
Now, these may not be big numbers in the grand scheme of things, but my normal blogs don’t really get a ton of traffic, which I’m ok with. But this is just cool to see on one of my own projects, and just wanted to share that. I hope it keeps up!
