Just down­loaded this new ver­sion of Showyou. It’s an inter­est­ing app to share your video stream with your social net­work on Face­book and twit­ter. The inter­face has always felt a bit hap­haz­ard. We’re hop­ing this ver­sion will be better.

We’re test­ing it out now.

This will be yet another smart way to con­nect video to social activity.

We’ve con­nected it to our twit­ter account for our other com­pany and will let you know what we think soon.

Mean­time down­load it your­self from the App Store so you can tell us what you think too.

Steve Jobs intro­duces the Mac Mini “It’s very, very, tiny.”

BYODKM.

No more excuses for not switching.

We have Mac Mini’s on our stu­dio desks. The Mac Mini rocks.

Inter­est­ing… Mat­te­box fea­tures pro­fes­sional adjust­ments, for con­trol over color, expo­sure, sat­u­ra­tion, gamma, vignette, and crop. This cool app is mod­eled after the leg­endary Kon­ica Hexar. It’s an app that’s about tak­ing pic­tures not manip­u­lat­ing them.  It’s a bit higher priced than most cam­era apps on the App Store at $3.99 but it looks pretty darn good.

Took a quick shot of the inside of my our Mac­Book Pro.

It was easy to open the case; popped it open in just a cou­ple min­utes. When I lifted the bot­tom off it was another beau­ti­ful sight. It’s always amaz­ing to look inside the hid­den parts of Apple tech­nol­ogy. I’ve always loved to look inside elec­tron­ics at the won­der of vacumn tubes to cir­cuit boards.

But I must say that Apple machines are excep­tion­ally so.

What the heck is unicode?

Remem­ber com­put­ers just deal with numbers. Unicode enables a sin­gle soft­ware prod­uct or a sin­gle web­site to be tar­geted across mul­ti­ple plat­forms, lan­guages and coun­tries with­out re-engineering. It allows data to be trans­ported through many dif­fer­ent sys­tems with­out corruption.

Uni­code pro­vides a unique num­ber for every character, no mat­ter what the platform, no mat­ter what the program, no mat­ter what the language.

 

Find out more about unicode.

Yep. We downoaded the new iBook Author App as soon as it was available.

We’re just begin­ning to test it out and see what it can do with sim­ple tag­ging in Pages and Word for import­ing. Can’t wait to drag and drop a Keynote deck into a book and see what happens.

From the pre­sen­ta­tion and the demo’s it looks pretty sweet. We even down­loaded a book to see what read­ing and inter­act­ing with one is like. More on what we think soon.

Jan­u­ary 18 was the great inter­net black­out to both protest and raise aware­ness about two pieces of leg­is­la­tion fac­ing a vote in Con­gress. You may have noticed that our blog and web­site were blacked out for the day.

We cap­tured a few of the more inter­est­ing efforts that we came across.

Deb­tris US

A lit­tle bit about money in our sphere. We espe­cially like the lit­tle dot that rep­re­sents the OPEC Cli­mate Change Fund.

Isn’t tech­nol­ogy great? The power of indi­vid­ual cre­ativ­ity enabled by dig­i­tal technology.

Great song too.
