148Apps Interview

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

The good folks at 148Apps have posted an interview with yours truly for their “App Store Insider” podcast. Apparently, I’m something of a blabbermouth, because they had to split the thing into 2 parts!
Thanks to Tom Hesser for inviting me to be on the show. It was a blast!

Quixote

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

In the latest This Week in Tech, good friend Leo Laporte hosted, among other people, Dave Winer.
During the show, Dave (with whom I’ve had dust-ups before) claims that Podcasting in iTunes had nothing to do with why Ray Slakinski and I gave up developing iPodderX, the first true podcasting application. Of course, Dave never talked [...]

If you’re wondering why things have been quiet around here, it’s because over the last several weeks I’ve been working on my very first book. I turned in the first draft yesterday, and I’m anxiously awaiting the first round of editor’s notes.

Thanks, JunkieBlog!

Stepping Across the Line

Wednesday, March 7th, 2007

Today, I noticed this:
Get your product reviewed on TAB (The Apple Blog)
Normally, that wouldn’t be worth noting, except that as you read the article, The Apple Blog is actually asking product developers to buy a review. The price: $200.
Yes, for $200, you can get your product reviewed on The Apple Blog. I find this truly [...]
