Just because You Only Have One Choice, Doesn’t Mean it’s a Good One
by
When I posted about Daylite 4 one of the comments challenged me to come up with another application that did all of the things Daylite does, in one package. At least I read it as a challenge. While I acknowledge that I have not found an application that does everything Daylite does, I think that…
More on Not Being the Customer
by
I wrote a while ago about not using services with no business model, but I’m even more wary of sites and services where I am not the customer. That’s any ad based site like say, Facebook. Yes I am a begrudging user of Facebook, but I’m not their customer. I give them no money to…
Daylite 4 was Released
by
Update: I’ve done a full review of Daylite 4 now. I’ve been looking off and on for an app/service that will let me run my business from end to end. I already use Billings (AppStore) as my estimating and invoicing tool and I’ve looked at Daylite (should be on the AppStore soon) a few times.…
If Publishing Apps Aren’t Dead Stop Making Crappy Apps
by
So evidently some publishers think that apps are dead for publications and some don’t. Specifically Wired doesn’t think they are dead. Now I am a Wired subscriber on my iPad and the experience is pretty decent. They certainly have the best experience when you compare to other magazines. That’s kind of like saying that a…
Fi’zi:k Aliante Review
by
One of the most crucial components of your bike is the seat (saddle). It’s also one item that can be very rider specific, the saddle I like you may hate. My saddle for the last 2 years has been a [Specialized Romin Comp Gel][romin] and while it’s served me well I have a few small…
Learning To Write Well, Fast
by
Obviously I’ve really stepped up the publishing schedule of the site. As with any blog the main struggle weekly is figuring out what exactly to write, and of course to make sure it’s not terrible. This week I came across (hat tip Freelancing Weekly) a vid with 8 tips for writing good content quickly. The…
Many Choices – Not the Best for the User
by
Ed’s Cafe is a short walk away from my house and until recently served the best sushi in downtown Chilliwack. I can only assume that I was the only one who thought so because they changed their menu. Now it’s build your own sandwich, no sushi in sight. The big issue is that there are…
Tools for Launching a Startup
by
While the bulk of the [article][tools] is a list of apps and services to use for a business there is another take away. That is, don’t waste time on things that don’t matter. Yes you could design a site from scratch and build it, but you could also buy a [Themeforest][themef] WordPress template which will…
Starting with Diablo III – Marginal Usability
by
I’m not really going to talk about the game, so if that’s why you’re here you’re going to be disappointed. I’m also not really going to talk about the crappy DRM on the game that requires you to be online. My gripe with Diablo III is the initial set up and sign in experience. First…
Trying to Watch Cycling in Canada
by
While trolling [Steephill][steep] this morning (May 16, 2012) in an attempt to watch the [Giro d’Italia][giro] I started thinking about the state of watching cycling in Canada. Cycling is not a big popular sport in Canada, like say hockey. It’s often hard to find a place to watch cycling. I even tried to give my…
