Apple TV is going to be apps and interface. We just got a honking huge plasma for Christmas. There is a huge complicated remote. The Smart TV Internet interface sucks. Browsing web pages designed for computers and precision mousing just doesn’t work nudging a cursor with a remote button trying

Reinstall the previous version of Zite. Hoping you haven’t synced, delete the new Zite from your iPad. Then, when you connect to iTunes, you should see the previous version still in your apps. Click install. Sync. Filed under: iPad

I’ve been playing in an iPad app called LetterMPress. The touch and manipulation controls are a bit fussy. The printing process is simulated too, and quite delightfully ignores whatever expediencies might evolve out of a purely digital process. Like printing class back in art school.

Click to view slideshow. Laying about being bored, and somewhat on an enforced vacation, I downloaded Etchings app and ran a number of randomly chosen images through the filters. Some interesting results above. Filed under: art, drawings Tagged: etchings, filters, iPad

Well, that was a bit of an insane run. My 100 cats drawing project ran out of steam at around 80 pictures, and I decided, WTH, put ‘em all up here and see what happens. It pushed me over the hump, I think, along with getting a bit more proper

Tablet computers have been around for years, but it took Steve Jobs to make them popular. Though the Liberal Party has been around longer than any tablet computer, it shares more than a few similarities with the now ubiquitous device. The Liberal Party has strong fundamentals and viable market share

Edward Burtynsky: OIL is the photographer’s examination of how humanity uses oil through photographs. The project started as a display at the Corcoran Gallery of Art and has been translated to book form and, more recently, as an app for iPads. I love the use of art to showcase our

The Ocean Views eBook can be downloaded directly from here. It seems to be stalled stubbornly under review, so may not be available through the iTunes book store. Once you have the download completed, drag the file onto iTunes, then sync your iPad. The objection—repeated boilerplate—from review staff is that: “Books must

The big news in the tech world yesterday was the launch of Apple’s latest iteration of the iPad. For those of us suffering the quintessential first world problem of being stuck with the hardware of only an iPad2 this means we are left to hope for something exciting on the

Okay… it’s a special, obscure category. Arts and Architecture. Not even in the pop-up menu in iTunes. Of 184 top free books in Art and Architecture. Number 68 and number 88 in top free books in Art and Architecture. But they are there. Way cool. And they are complete books,

Just a heads up. Yes there is a new tag there; 100 cats. Probably shouldn’t talk about projects, but I am drawing 100 cat drawings and want to gather them in another ebook. Filed under: art, digital, iPad Tagged: 100 cats, Cat
