Day 46: A Post A Day (iPad and You)

And the announcement was made and the crowd cheered. The iPad has arrived. Looking not unlike a super-sized iPod touch and sporting the classic Apple “i” look. At $499 I was pretty surprised at the affordability. I can’t say that I am all that eager to go and order one, but if you love everything Apple then the iPad should certainly put a smile on your face. I’ll stick to my trusty MSI Wind U100 netbook. It isn’t flashy but it gets the job done. Kudos to you Steve Jobs, well done.

Day 45: A Post A Day (Vaporware Apps For The iPhone and Android)

I’m thinking about developing an iPhone or Android app called “Big Decision Maker”.  This application will be aimed at middle managers employed by large corporations who are in need of a solid decision making tool.  Rather than wasting valuable time looking at a problem or an issue and then developing a logical solution, you’d simply pull out your smartphone and launch Big Decision Maker.  In mere seconds the application would spit out a decision for you.  Any problem, large or small, solved in seconds.  Thus leaving the up and coming manager with ample time to look busy or prepare for the big meeting.  I’m not able to go into details at the moment, mainly because I have no programming skills and can’t actually begin to develop the app until I learn how to program.  But I promise you that it will be a quality product and you’ll be happy to pay the nominal price of $59.99.

Furthermore, I cannot provide you with any specific launch date but in the meantime you can make a donation to me by using the donation button below. Any money donated to me will be used purely for personal expenses like cigarettes and alcohol so please do not think you are sending me money for any meaningful purpose. Still, I encourage you to be generous, as these are hard times and I can use the money.



Day 44: A Post A Day (The Cop Out)

It was another long day.  I barely had the energy to write this.  Forgive my laziness.

I will return tomorrow with more thrilling content.

Inside The Viddy Studio: Dreaming A Little Dream

I’m going to be busting my ass to make sure that 2010 is the year that I finally make the plunge and open my own art/photography studio.  I’ve been following up on every lead for good, affordable studio space as well as making a checklist of must have items to furnish my studio with.

One of the key items will be a coffee machine.  And not a Mr. Coffee, no way, not in my studio.  I want an eye pleasing yet fully featured coffee machine that will be able to churn out pot after pot of hot, fresh coffee on a daily basis.  Of all the equipment that I may end up needing, this coffee machine is number one on the list.  You must get your priorities straight right from the beginning.

I have not settled on a particular brand or style just yet but I am certain that I will be pleased with the final choice.

Additionally, I will need a mini-fridge to hold and keep chilled a selection of energy drinks to supplement the above referenced hot coffee.  Caffeine is the number one item to keep on hand at all times.  Given the choice between going one day without food or one day without caffeine and I will always choose to give up the food.  Man, oh man, this is really happening.
