It’s been a full two days since WWDC ended, which I think is enough time for any residual effects of the Reality Distortion Field to subside. I thought I’d share a little bit about my first WWDC experience.
In summary, it was well worth it for me, and I’d go again. I can see how [...]
The frustrating thing about most projects I’ve worked on in the past is that they’re so technical or specialized or intangible that I can’t even describe to friends and family what I’ve been spending all my time on. Not so this time around. If you want to see what I’ve been working on (and you [...]
My original MacBook Pro battery went from providing a reasonable 2 hours of use to less than 10 minutes practically overnight. Also, this happened only weeks after the one-year warranty on my battery expired. Attempts to finagle a replacement battery failed.
Once bitten, I wasn’t all that thrilled about forking over $129 to Apple to replace [...]
Quick one: I just noticed that the MacMost video interview and preview of NEAT Receipts for Mac has been posted.

Heres some shaky low-quality video I nabbed at Macworld.
I have more photos and videos I want to share, they’re all on my mini, and SMARTReporter says that its drive is about to die. They’ll be up once I get the data out of harm’s way.
P.S. I haven’t actually seen Cloverfield. Any good?
We also got some mention on TUAW and MacRumors. Excitement builds.
Macworld has been an absolute whirlwind. I was hoping to post with some frequency, but I’ve been working the booth practically non-stop, and ‘net access here kinda sucks.
You can find a couple pics of us hard at work on the NEAT blog, and also check out the Macworld’s preview of NEAT Receipts for Mac.
