Vacation Planning
With regards to vacations, last year we did Boston, Paris and England and we had a blast in each visit photographing our experience. So far for 2008, we kicked off our passion to travel by heading over to the LA back in January but summer is rapidly approaching and we want to sneak in another vacation before we both embark upon another stage in our lives. Here’s our options:
Rome, Italy,...

How often do you find yourself Twittering throughout the day? A lot? Well you and I are on the same boat.

In comes Quotably.

I Am Legend's Original Ending →
One of the biggest complains about the film was that the ending was completely changed from the book and in turn the entire “legend” concept that Richard Matheson originally wrote was never actually seen. For that reason, we have an alternate ending. You’ve been warned - everything from this point forward contains spoilers. Proceed at your own risk!

Quick Tip: It’s almost April and if you’ve managed to stick to the whole gym routine thus far, then pat yourself on the back because more than likely people that started with you, may have fallen off their commitment already. Just a reminder; please make it a habit to know beforehand what your visit to the gym will look like the day you attend. Keep a workout journal of routines for...

Flickr Video: Does it stand a chance? →
“I’m hoping to be pleasantly surprised with Flickr’s video efforts when the service goes into beta next month, but there are a lot of things that need to be right from the get-go to get my vote of confidence. For me, the biggest item on this list is the integration with photos. The one thing none of these other video hosts have is that rich blend of media that can give people...

On The Tyra Banks Show
Without expecting much from it, I headed over to The Tyra Banks Show website one day and filled out an application to attend a taping of the show here in New York City. Days later, I received a call back to confirm the attendance so today Vanessa and I attended the taping in Chelsea studio.
You’ll have to take my word all this because unfortunately they confiscate all phones and cameras...

The Shroud of Turin →
The Shroud of Turin is a centuries old linen cloth that bears the image of a crucified man. A man that millions believe to be Jesus of Nazareth. Is it really the cloth that wrapped his crucified body, or is it simply a medieval forgery, a hoax perpetrated by some clever artist? Modern science has completed hundreds of thousands of hours of detailed study and intense research on the Shroud. It is,...

Dock Can Has Keyboard Buttonz? →
Michael Whalen came across this little nifty feature in Leopard which I wasn’t aware about either: “When you click on a dock folder and hit the tab key, you can use your arrow keys and enter, or the tab key and enter, to slide up and down the fan. “

Reminiscing 2007 Design →
I’ve been blogging for roughly 4 years now and with that came along numerous design transformations that my website went through. At the time, I wish I would have been more responsible about keeping track of those changes but today I came across a screenshot of what my blog looked like last year on Wordpress.

I Loathe Guitar Hero
I’m sure a lot of you already know this game scenario: you play popular songs on a large shaped peripheral. The gameplay mainly comprises of clicking one of five buttons representing frets, and pushing a little toggle up and down to represent strumming. Can you picture it now? Yes, I’m talking about Guitar Hero.
This almost feels as if it’s a controversial topic that I...

Web Celebrities
So Webster defines the word celebrity as “the state of being well known” and although we often associate the word with actors, actresses, tv personalities and even radio host, there’s also one category which I would like to add to the list and that’s, web celebrities.
Just because you might not be familiar with someone, doesn’t necessarily mean that they are not...

SXSW 2009
In case you’re not a web enthusiast as myself, over the weekend, Austin Texas was the place to be for SXSW where all the best in the business gathered for jam packed web design sessions, social network discussions, networking and just overall endless parties. I might not have attended the conference but just reading through the endless Twitters popping up from all directions gave me the...

Mac Users are Snobs →
According to this recent The Street video, they say that Mac users are “snobs.” The video, which is based on a research says that Mac owners are more likely: to be perfectionists, to use notebooks, to use teeth whitening products, etc. Very interesting observation and what’s even more uncanny is that some of these things I actually do.

Savoring Delicious Library 2.0 →
I became a fan of this application upon it’s first release, when it was being worked on from what I hear, an actual coffee shop until it eventually outgrew it’s confines. Back then Mike Matas was a part of the team but since then, it’s come a long way. Looking forward to new features but one question remains. I understand the “library” part but what’s up with...

Weekend Films
Confessions of a Superhero: The film is a s a very well made documentary that is enjoyable to watch and one that I particularly felt akin to because of our recent excursion to the west coast. The four people the film focuses on are street performers who make or enhance their livelihoods by dressing up as superheros, hanging out on Hollywood Boulevard and having their pictures taken with tourists...
