How Apple does camera

Pundits keep trying to say that the iPhone will take over from the DSLR. That’s ridiculous. But the iPhone continues to be a very capable camera for the vast majority of people. Apple will make it even better on Wednesday.

Infinitude

If you need a video to blow your mind and test your speakers, this one should do the trick.

The burning desire for hot chicken

I lived in Nashville for several years and loved it I ate at Prince’s Hot Chicken Shack once – and only once. I’ve never understood the penchant people have for eating food that causes them physical pain.

A quick reference guide to Apple’s keynotes

I don’t know who put this site together but it’s brilliant. Ever gotten into a discussion or wondered when and where Apple announced a particular product or a service or where Apple made announcements? Well, wonder no more.

Sept. 7 Apple event to be live streamed

While the invites have gone out to the press, Apple has updated their site with the live stream location. For those of you who are forgetful, they’ve also included a helpful “Add to your calendar” link so you won’t miss it.

Say bye to those awesomely clackety train station displays

The first and only time I’ve seen these kinds of displays outside of old pinball machines was at the Charles De Gaulle airport in France.

Evan Dunfee loses bronze on Japanese appeal in 50km race walk

When I watched the race live, I was yelling at my TV, “He pushed him out of the way!” When I heard later Dunfee had been awarded the bronze, I cheered. Now that Dunfee has had his belatedly given Bronze taken away, I’m amazed. I honestly don’t think I would have reacted as magnanimously or with as much class as Dunfee has over this.
