Imagine a site or service that would analyze your whole Twitter stream and analyze each tweet to figure out your mood at the time. Imagine that it could aggregate that data, figure out patterns and report it in a meaningful way. Think of it as a Mint for your happiness rather than for your financials. It could also help you correlate this data with other data, such as global / average happiness,...

What Derek Powazek Hopes Apple Unleashes Tomorrow →
Tomorrow, if the stars align, Apple could unleash a device that’s sexier than reading a magazine. A glossy screen like the iPhone, quality content in the iTunes store for a (hopefully) reasonable price, major publishes on board and independent publishers like me able to join in. Here’s what I’m hoping for too, for tomorrow.

Apple’s iTunes Cloud Strategy →
The Lala upload technology will be bundled into a future iTunes upgrade which will automatically be installed for the 100+ million itunes users with a simple “An upgrade is available…” notification dialog box. After installation iTunes will push in the background their entire media library to their personal mobile iTunes area. Once loaded, users will be able to navigate and play their music,...

Guy English: The thing is these people don’t buy Applications, they download Apps. “Software” is dead, don’t bother putting that word on a sell sheet. Have you written “a program” recently? That’s nice, find a place in line behind all the other nerds but try not to step on the Coke-bottle glasses they tend to drop. “Oh … you’ve developed an application … is it something my doctor would know...

Dear Air France, On my Jan 8th ‘10 flight from GVA to SFO with layover at CDG, I was scheduled to take off at 7:30 on the GVA-CDG segments. That 50min flight was late / delayed by almost an hour. Once arrived at CDG, my connecting flight segment CDG-SFO was further delayed by several hours. It was scheduled to take off at 10:40, but only actually left at 14:00, over 3 hours late. I had...

Minim 2.0 →
Minim 1.0 was released over 3 years ago in November 2006. Since then it received just 2 updates, version 1.1 and 1.2. It suffered right from the start from my inexperience, not only at coding, but at creating a product that can sell. Since then I’ve released 2 successful products and become a much better developer. So when it came to working on Minim 2.0, it made sense to treat it as...

This year, I decided to forget about the typical “exercise more” resolutions which are almost always abandoned after a few weeks. Instead, I’m going for a simple achievable and measurable goal: make one (20min minimum) dj mix per week. To that end, I ordered a Vestax VCI-100. Hopefully, putting down $400 on this new gear will motivate me to actually use it.

I’m moving to tumblr. On my old “traditional” blog, there have been no posts in almost three months. A sad situation indeed. I keep telling myself I will try to blog more, and for a while, I keep it up. Yet, eventually, post frequency always dies. My Twitter, on the other hand, is not abandoned. This leads me to believe that Wordpress, as a medium, might not be the best...
