Thoughts After the Keynote
Apple just released the Quicktime video of their event today and I’ve taken a few minutes to see what every journalist saw and see if it changes my mind a bit. And it does… sort of. Really what the video did was solidify what I felt the iPad should have been and what it can …

After All That Hype…
Apple announced their new mobile device today: the iPad. While it might change the game in the tech industry from this point on, I felt underwhelmed by the whole thing.

Wha? What Happened?
Do not adjust your monitor, there’s nothing wrong. You may have stumbled upon the site to find some serious reworking to the visual look. While the previous theme to Digitas Gravitas was very sleek and well designed, I’ve struggled with expanding beyond the simple blog format and try to provide more extensive search options. However, …

Facebook is Under Attack
This is an update to my earlier post on the demise of Facebook. In that article I spoke of how there has been an inundation of malicious applications and spam that is dragging the site. Well it looks like Facebook didn’t like me calling it out, and things have gotten largely worse in the past …

My Phone Dilemma
It’s no secret that I am a fan of the iPhone. Love it or hate it, you can’t deny that it is a very well-built and designed phone that has dramatically changed how we perceive phones. Ever since the first model was announced in 2007 I’ve desperately wanted a taste of real power. Have the …

The Games of 2010 or “Tell Me What You Want!”
I’m always torn when it comes to gaming, mostly because there is so much good stuff out there to divide my time (and money) but also because I have a terrible anxiety that I’ll make the wrong purchase.
