Whiteboard

Social Identifiers and social design trends are a big part of what I do, these are already finding their way into my blog and will have a place here in the coming future.

A pulse on design trends, usability/design/graphic quotes, amazing photography, and links to keep everyone busy, plus a few songs that are currently stuck on repeat.

This is getting to be a bit Apple focused and iPhone crazy. If you can't tell I love tech gadgets and the iPhone is my gadget of choice. I will be building an Apple gadget specific website soon so this area will be free'd up for more design related topics.

Great colorful graphics with a splash of tech.

I think the idea is great, but I don’t think that they are ahead of Apple. I wish Apple would come out with a few upgrades to their mini touch screen. 

Baller, I would love to wait to get this type of setup. Just keep a huge lens in my pocket. When people ask if I have a sausage in my pocket. I can say nope, its just a huge lens.

I actually really like this idea. I was juts talking about something similar to one of our account managers. Why wouldn’t you be able to write on the desk any time you need to take notes? Hell, why would you have to scribble notes. Wouldn’t all calls be transcribed by then? Would they be binding?

Apple Store, Total Failure

This is what I posted in my most recent apple store purchase survey:

“Your request assistance service doesn’t work very well from the iphone. I stood around looking at employees walking around and talking with each other while I was trying to purchase a $130 item. I have purchased something from every flavor of apple. I know the routine, but the we waited for 10 minutes looking for help. 

Only when I was totally disappointed did you sales staff finally show up. They only had excuses and attitudes. I would never recommend the bayshore apple store to anyone. If I ever need to buy anything I will avoid that store at all costs. 

13 hours after this terrible experience I was able to tell most people that I know professionally that Bayshore was a bunch of idiots and how poorly I was treated. How easily your employees would talk down to me. I can’t believe it. 

I came into schedule a appointment for the macbook hinge you fixed that is now more broken than it was before. As a loyal customer for years, you guys completely failed me last night. For as many good experiences that I’ve had there, I’ve had just as many poor experiences. Great technology, crappy attitudes. “

I’m sure I’m not the only one that this happens too. The Apple sales associates are always hit and miss. 

That would be awesome.

Well done every body. Apple has reached another milestone that proves their apps theorie correct. I was getting a hair cut last weekend and was playing Sky On Neon for like 45 minutes. 

I like the idea. Haven’t really thought about the impact of that phone shape in my pocket or on a table.

This is my future studio. Wood floor, white walls, plenty of counter space, portfolio drawers, books and colors. These bright white colored walls are very uplifting and inspirational. This is a dream.

Just bought this for a Dollar. BOM! This is tons of fun, much cooler and fun to use that Apple’s ToDo List. I might write a longer piece on the second generation of mobile experiences. I think that we have now moved away from the first phase and are now entering a different phase to really show off the power and gestures of mobile computing.

Apple announces Mountain Lion will be coming out in the Summer, I think? This release is not a revolutionary, but more of an evolution of the current operating system. More apps that sync between the iOS systems. Notes, iMessages, ToDos, and Notifications.

There is not much more, but take a look.

So they are working on the issue. Here is the work in progress. I hope someone gets their ass in a sling over this. Apple has always had amazing web standards. Now they are starting to slip. My guess, this is just the beginning.

Crazy Ass Apple iPhone Website Updates Looks Like Crap.

This is the video I previously wrote about. What kind of crazy stuff is going on over at Apple. First the website roll out was sloppy, the tech team should be very hard on themselves. This think should have been spot on. Weird broken links, then the whole site was down. Now in Rockmelt the iPod and iPhone pages are totally messed up. 

BROWSER CHECK… Steve would have their heads for this shit. Apple Website Update Fail!
