Apple to launch iPad 2 on March 2nd. The Apple marketing victim

Alex — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 06:05:08 PST

I find it beautiful that Apple has finally came up with the new version of iPad. Hopefully, it’s going to be better and will bring new ways of making it more fun. So, there’s one day left and all the world is expecting the new iPad. Curiously, I’m [...]

Drawing life. A @gapingvoid portrait

Alex — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 04:02:58 PST

One of the things I can do is drawing. Unfortunately, I never studied enough so I lost my touch. I can draw concepts, but I will not stick to drawing something ’till the end. I’m not as patient as I’d love to be. But that doesn’t mean I [...]

Happy Birthday, Steve Jobs!

Steve Jobs turned 56 today. Along with all the best wishes, I’ll add a video of his 2005 Stanford University speech. Indeed, inspiring. ;

I need a damn good calendar

Alex — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 01:34:45 PST

When I’m really busy, I tend to forget things such as tasks. I used different calendars back when I was using Windows. Someone actually gave me a small cute widget for my desktop. It worked for a while, but then I turned on killing the notices. Pretty simple, [...]

My Evil Plans. One launch soon to come

Alex — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 03:12:00 PST

The thing is, we all have objectives. And as Hugh McLeod pointed out, we all need our Evil Plans. The ultimate objective of our Evil Plans should be… well, living our lives. So, in order to do that, you have to follow a few steps. Here are mine: [...]

DVDs are dead, try USB drives! Yeah, I know about Netflix and Apple TV

Alex — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 00:10:18 PST

One of the things I don’t really get about movie companies is why do they still have to sell DVDs. I have an old LG LCD TV and it has this (hacked) capability of reading USB drives. I stopped using the DVD player two years ago. I just [...]

Entrepreneurial thinking: invest yourself or invest others’ assets?

Alex — Sun, 20 Feb 2011 14:04:41 PST

I’m a guy with tons of ideas. Some good, some stupid. Most of them are good. The thing is, it ain’t easy to translate them into real projects. Not when living in a vicious circle of “I need to work in order to have a decent life. To [...]

iWant: iPhone tripod

Alex — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 01:47:48 PST

I’ve just found on Amazon a cool mini adjustable tripod + camera holder for iPhone with iBox touch pen. This is really neat, especially if you want to use your iPhone’s camera for more than just taking pictures once in a while. For instance, I want to record [...]

iWant: Two awesome contemporary modern sofas

Alex — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 05:20:24 PST

As I said before – and I’ll probably repeat it a lot -, I’m a fool for contemporary modern design. This includes furniture. I found six awesome contemporary modern sofas for the living room. Some are really cheap, some are not, but they look great and if you [...]

iWant: Three awesome contemporary floor lamps

Alex — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 04:08:07 PST

As I said in the previous article, I’m not a lamp guy. But I’d really love to have a contemporary floor lamp. Ideally, an arch floor lamp. I’m a fan of modernism, the 60′s and the 70′s, so modern-contemporary style is a part of me. So here are [...]
