I’ve been doing jewelry for a bit over a year now and it’s nice do do something creative without pushing a mouse across my desk. I’ve been sharing a studio in Scottdale but will be moving into a space with a friend in the Old Fourth Ward in downtown Atlanta.
Right now this is some of the stuff I’ve been doing and more will be coming after I get moved in and get to bang some ideas out.
Well I told that cooking asshole where this website is. I decided a couple of months ago to purge the old shit off here and start over. Then I subsequently have ignored it. Story of me doing blogs and why I never kept journals when I was in high school.
So here goes, I’m sitting in a room watching people being tested on an iPad app and finding out they have no fucking idea what they’re wanting in an app. They want a lot of unreal shit that would really relate to no one else but them. One guys wants it to be a concierge this lady wants it to do her itinerary for her with menus and public transportation.
Now that the iPad is out, there are magazines beginning to appear. The only one I’ve purchased is the new Wired edition because it seemed to have the most potential. I wasn’t disappointed with my purchase. That said, I don’t plan on making regular purchases if the price stays at $4.99 especially since I have a subscription to the print edition.
The magazine is enjoyable to read and has some nice features. Some things I like are product reviews that allow you to click the item and read about it. The interactive feature showing mars and the timeline is quite a good start. The best ads just place a commercial to view with in the ad. It’s a quick start but I hope they become more immersive experience to learn about their product.
I haven’t gotten any other magazines because the reviews tend to be negative because the app is just a PDF of the magazine. As of right now, Apple has sold 2 million iPads. With more companies getting on the tablet bandwagon, I think magazines are going to do more with both experience and pricing if their going to deliver onto the tablets.
On my 3rd day off work and I’m feeling quite rested. Been a great weekend with my sister-in-law up from Tijuana for the weekend and looking forward to her and Alec’s return this summer. In the mean time, I’m going to continue with weekend.
Today was the last day for Emma and her charter school. Picture was taken on the iPhone using Hipstamatic.
