What I've been up to lately
Here's a sampling of some of my recent work for your viewing pleasure.
A PICTURE = A THOUSAND WORDS
Here's a random sampling of some articles I wrote for my blog. Call it designing with words.
Apple ID Scam: “Thank You Not To Answer”
Hot on the heels of Apple’s successful new releases, there’s another group looking to score big—hackers. Armed with phishing emails that lead to phoney login pages, these bad guys are after your Apple ID, password, and more. Don’t worry, there’s good news. Their attempt is bad—really bad.
RIP Hotmail. Hello Outlook!
It’s the end of an era. Hotmail is no more. While news of its demise has been known for a long time now, the final nail in the coffin will be hammered in soon. By summertime this year, everyone with @hotmail.com addresses will be the proud owners of new @outlook.com identities!
The Age Of Entitlement
We’ve all heard this before. We’re all unique and special. If we’re good enough, smart enough, well then gosh darnit people will like us! Ah the good ‘ol days… Now thanks to modern technology, that way of thinking is getting amplified—and the results aren’t pretty. You might feel the effects in your life now, but imagine growing up engulfed in it?
So She Lip-synced…
The media was set on fire last week when Beyoncé Knowles rang in Barack Obama’s inauguration with a beautiful rendition of the star spangled glory—that she lip-synced to. While the track that played was her singing, the world cried ‘controversy’ because Bey didn’t actually perform live. My thoughts, who cares?!
Is Facebook Still Cool?
In the last few years we’ve seen many social networks appear, only to crash and burn. Think of MySpace, Ping, Friendster—even Google+ (seriously, it’s dead). The one that seems to always stick around is Facebook. With over 1 billion users, it’s definitely the social network that all the cool kids are using these days. But what do kids actually think of Facebook? Is it cool? You might think so, but you could be wrong.
Apple, What Are You Doing?!
It’s no secret I’m a devout Apple fanboy. I love my iOS devices and share unpopular reponses when asked about BlackBerry and Android alternatives. As the mobile madness wars continue to heat up, my question is—why is everything going crazy?
