I’m not sure if you’ve heard about the iPad. Unless you’ve been under a rock, you can’t avoid the Apple madness. I’m up in San Francisco this week and couldn’t help but feel the Apple riptide and get drawn into the hype. So I watched the announcement and here are my thoughts

2009 was a fun year. I traveled to 42 cities, 4 countries and logged over 100k miles. I also found time to stay at home and do stuff. Looking back on the year, some things really stand out. For instance:

A Point Break spoof. I love how Aziz does Keanu by just shouting. Click [...]
A startup really consumes your life. Luckily i have a suite of sweet tools to keep my efficient and productive. My favorites:
Balsalmiq. This is sick wireframing software. It’s so easy and intuitive, it can allow anyone to make fairly decent wires. It’s also a great way to get ideas across to other people. Doing [...]
I just got a Kindle for my birthday about a week ago and have really loved reading on it. I think digital books could change how i read and the amount i read in a great way.
