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…
Riding to WordCamp Seattle
by
Hatched by an offhanded tweet, I ended up using my bicycle to travel from Abbotsford BC to Seattle Washington. The need for the travel was attending [WordCamp Seattle][wcsea]. ### Route The route is fairly straight forward. Head down Highway 9 and hang a right at Seattle. Then work your way to your actual destination. You…
The Expectation of Free
by
I’ve been finding lately that just because I write tutorials on WordPress the readers expect me to provide a bunch of free support when it doesn’t quite work for them. If someone provides you with something for free, don’t be surprised if it doesn’t solve all of your specific needs. If you need something that…
Yet Another Intriguing Programming Solution
by
I’d love to only take my iPad on my back when visiting clients, unfortunately I often end up needing to do some coding at the same time. I’ve read about a few programmers using some remote desktop solution with their iPad to program, but that’s not really using an iPad as your development solution. Koding…
