Transmit 3 was fast. The Transmit Turbo engine in Coda was faster. Transmit 4 is scary, wicked fast.

I can’t wait to try this out.

Very pleased to see one of my favourite apps getting prominent placement on the App Store.

If you run any type of website, you should certainly give Ego a try.

Use it or not. That's up to you. But you pay me.

I asked him if he would come up with a few options. And he said, “No. I will solve your problem for you. And you will pay me. And you don’t have to use the solution. If you want options, go talk to other people. But I’ll solve your problem for you the best way I know how. And you use it or not. That’s up to you. You’re the client. But you pay me.” And there was a clarity about the relationship that was refreshing.

Silicon Valley police are investigating what appears to be a lost Apple iPhone prototype purchased by a gadget blog, a transaction that may have violated criminal laws, a law enforcement official told CNET on Friday.

Lost iPhone prototype spurs police probe | Apple - CNET News

Creating a Tumblr Bookmarklet for the iPad

After discovering that my existing bookmarklet didn’t work on the iPad, this did the trick perfectly.

In the course of a year, registered Twitter accounts have grown more than 1,500% and our team has grown 500%.
~ In terms of scalability, that’s nothing to be proud of.

“The idea was to show a glimpse into the history of Apple by modeling some of the innovative products they’ve developed in their 3+ decade history. The animation was done entirely using 3Ds Max and V-Ray render and took about 10 days to complete.”

A beautiful look at some of the products from Apple’s past.

To be honest, it all started very unexpectedly for me. From a very early age I was interested in writing and have written a couple of short-stories and articles, so I always felt a strong passion and connection with writing and editing.
