9 06 2008

WWDC’s on. Steve Jobs is on stage, and I forgot and went ahead and made an appointment for 7!!! Argh… so I’m now off out to F5 Engadget on my iPhone in a bar instead! :p.
Here’s hoping that whatever new iPhone they announce will be available in Apple stores to be cracked like old [...]

about this blog

This blog is sort of an outlet for all of the thoughts that I have on a day-to-day basis that are too geeky for 'normal-outlet' in every day life. I hope you enjoy, and follow me on twitter (chrismaddern)

You may have all noticed that I’ve been a little quiet recently, and I’ve been trying to not talk about this project too much before we actually do any sort of launch.
I’ve been working on a project called ‘Giggle’. Giggle is a tool to recommend you new music based on what you listen to now, [...]

New Internet Search Startup seeks young female presenter to spice up daily show…

15 04 2008

2

It seems with the loss of Veronica Belmont that Mahalo Daily is in search of a new presenter to run it’s daily ‘interest’ show. Although in true ‘Calacanis’ style, they’re not just interviewing; they’re creating a full-blown web2.0 event out of it - aptly named ‘Mahalo Idol’.
Auditionees are invited to come to the Mahalo HQ [...]

DELL have a sale on monitors here in the UK and so I’m very tempted to go ahead and take advantage of this :).
Here’s the problem… I’m not sure whether to go for dual monitors, or one big one. I have a 22″ DELL at the moment, so it’s either get another 22″ and have [...]

VoIP & MSN on the iPhone!

15 04 2008

2

What a great time to be getting on board… my new iPhone is ordered and will arrive on Monday. I can’t wait… and now I can’t wait *even* more. My one hold-back was no native solution for MSN chatting and VoIP was something that seemed as obvious a service to feature on a 600MHz processor-wielding [...]

What our industry needs

9 04 2008

1

Two words: Editorial & Accountability.
There are hundreds of ‘blogs’ out there, 99% of which report the exact same stories, sometimes with a slightly different twist, or humour added, but rarely is there any editorial added; a dialogue that transcends the facts and places the pieces together to make sense of the story in context.
