I don’t know whether it’s the tryptophan or the ‘fat-clogged brain’ or what, but doing a show while stuffed full of turkey seems to yield quite interesting results. Well, that combined with a lack of actual news to talk about and significant work overload. Yeah, it’s pretty crazy…
See you January 2nd (or the 9th depending on my as-of-yet-undecided plans for Christmas Vacation.)

Alright, it’s time for some honesty on my part. I wasn’t satisfied by the number of comments on my last ‘Keaton On’ post, so I’ve decided to put my life on the line and go on a serious first-to-palm (see what I did there?) Pre-bash-athon. Yes, I do remember the last time I bashed Palm for the Pre on Twitter, ending with my own all-too-public humiliation. Now, after spending 5 months in the fetal position, sucking my thumb and crying for my mommy, I’ve done some actual research (a.k.a. I skimmed the Wikipedia article) on the Pre, and have a whole new set of reasons why it will fail. Muahahahaha!
Cocoa is my girlfriend. That is a phrase coined by the popular cocoa blog of the same name, and it rings sadly true for me, both as a developer of mac apps, and more importantly as an avid user of mac apps.
Somehow things like Adobe Air, X11, and even Apple’s own Carbon give me flashbacks to my time on Windows. Up until a few weeks ago I was using Twitterific as my main twitter client, unfortunately for it, it took its own concept of simplicity too far.
Also, it doesn’t look all that cocoa-ish, especially in Leopard, where HUD windows are supposed to have a glossy looking header. So then I was a rogue twitterer, on a hunt for some good Cocoa twitter clients. I found 5 contenders – here and now they will battle it out for my usership. ding ding
Lots of crazy things from Asia have been coming to the US lately. Smaller cars, Toilets that clean and warm your butt, and that very very strange show Hole in the Wall to name a few. One other thing that is making it’s way west isn’t as good: Knockoffs *Queue the scary music*. Engadget has a recurring blog series called “Keepin’ it real fake” which features all of the hilariously awful knockoffs people have spotted around the world (although, to be fair, or unfair as the case may be, it’s mostly from China).
We sit there and wonder how anybody could ever fall for those terrible knockoffs that probably barely work, then rush out to the Sprint store to pick up our ‘brand new’ Instinct or Bold or Xpressmusic or Xperia or G1 or Voyager or whatever else they’re churning out.
