I'm very lucky to have five incredible guys as my groomsmen
Wedding planning has been moving along pretty well. We got a ton of stuff done while we were in Buffalo over Christmas. We've already got a date, venue, photographer, wedding planner, guest list, cake, florist, DJ... Basically everything but the Indian stuff, which I guess I'm in charge of. ...
The Apple iPad is here. It won't change the world, but it's gorgeous. And I want one
The Apple iPad. The hardware is gorgeous. It's pretty much an oversized iPod Touch. It's sleek, slim, and light. The software is an enhanced iPhone OS. That's great because people already know how to use it. But i was hoping for something more. There weren't any revolutionary interface changes,...
In 12 hours, Steve Jobs will change the world. Again.
One of the things I miss most not working at Apple, is watching the keynotes and announcements live at the Apple campus. I can't wait to see what Steve unveils this time! My credit card number is on my clipboard, ready to paste as needed! :) Permalink | Leave a comment » ...
I got a live demo of Square on Saturday night by donating $50 to Charity Water. My thoughts here.
Square is an attachment for your iPhone that lets you swipe credit cards. Combined with their software and payments infrastructure, it allows anyone to accept money quickly. It's definitely a cool product. It's a tiny device that converts the magnetic signals from your credit card into an audio tone,...

Errata: An Examined Life - George Steiner
George Steiner is a polyglot and a polymath. He's brilliant. And he's probably the last of a (literally) dying breed of people, in a world that (I feel) continues to trend towards specialization and homogenization. In this book, Steiner shares some pieces from his life and how they have shaped...
I learned about Marije Vogelzang and her book on PSFK. For some reason, she (and the book) reminds me of Catalan designer Martí Guixé, whose design approach I admire greatly. Vogelzang also gave a talk at Pop!Tech and said something I found interesting: If you're a designer and you make things, then you...
It's Not How Good You Are, Its How Good You Want to Be. - Paul Arden
While in LA, my father took me to Hennessey + Ingalls, a nice bookstore that specializes in art and architecture books. While browsing its shelves, the title of this little book caught my eye. It's been around for a while, but I hadn't heard of it before. It's an easy read,...
