Steve Jobs has passed away. The man was a unique genius who transformed the world because he believed he could.
I never met him. I never saw him in person. I never spoke to him on the phone. I have never owned a Mac. In fact, I never owned any Apple product until I got the iPhone 3GS a couple years ago. Yet, I respected the man and his genius, and I am deeply saddened by the loss.

Another 30 Days journey comes to an end. For me, the 30 Days With Windows Phone 7 has been the most enjoyable and enlightening of them all so far.
The first time I experimented with Windows Phone 7 there were some things I liked about it, but overall I found it disappointing. It took Microsoft another year and two major updates, but with “Mango” I can honestly say that I think Microsoft has a solid mobile OS worthy of competing against iOS and Android.

No; yur calendar is correct and you didn’t accidentally sleep for a month. The World Series hasn’t started, and it’s not even Halloween yet, and here we are talking about the 2011 holiday shopping season. Too soon?
I remember the good old days when Black Friday meant something. It wasn’t just another day in a long series of days promising super, extra-awesome special bargains. It was a science. It was a sporting event. There really were deals to be found and it required careful planning and precision strategy–plus warm clothes and lots of coffee.
