Well, it’s official! FCP X is out and it’s very exciting! I also noted that motion and compressor was out and available for fifty bucks!

Can’t wait to get my grubby little hands on it!

check it folks.....

The report collects the findings of a number of different surveys and research outlets, painting a picture of a device tailor-made to sell content, products and services.

Ohhhh MY!! I’ve never seen such loyalty in customers……oh wait, yes I have.  In other Apple Products that is. Now, I’m being smarmy and facitious, but really folks?  Do I need anymore information to tell me that I love my iPad? The answer is clearly= nope.

People ask me all the time about the iPad, and to be honest, I wouldn’t consider myself a “Power-User” of the iPad.  I use the living daylights out of it, but I haven’t jailbroken it, haven’t made any apps specifically for it (yet), and I haven’t actively pursued people to convert to it.  I still have folks in my lives that will always battle against the iPad and against Apple in general, but as Apple closes the gap between it’s OS of its mobile devices and it’s desktop/laptop devices, more and more and more people will be switching to macs.  IT people already love these things – it’s probably a “safe” way to experience an Apple product, without committing to Apple (“It’s just like my iPhone, only slightly bigger and more comfortable to use”). They may have never truly experienced the Joy of using a Mac. Sure, they may have played around on one, maybe even they admin some, but to use one day in and day out, that’s where it starts to sink in.  Periodic usage is not going to convince anyone, and there are still some folks who should absolutely stick to a PC, sometimes familiarity is more motivating than Ease-of-Use. Anyway, I’m waiting for my expensive room service here in San Fran, probably my last room service since tomorrow I plan on dining around the conference center.

Have a great day!

Secondly, I’m using the term “webage” (emphasis on the g not the a) to describe content you find on the web – which is everything, maybe it will stick or maybe people will just use “content.” Maybe it sounds to Web 2.0 – which is getting long in the tooth these days. Either way, I’m running that app on my iPad now.

This blog is written by a member of our expert blogging community and expresses that expert’s views alone.
Why P&G’s slogan “Experience Matters” is relevant for tech companies, how tools can be funny, and why no one ever really needs a screwdriver.

Every designer needs to read this, not just because I’m a fan boy of apple, but because of how they go about designing their products and the philosophy behind it. Just watch the two videos. Even just the first minute, and you can tell where their focus is.

There is so much exciting developments happening that no one single person can pin-point, but yet I sit here and I’m watching it unfold in front of me wondering why no one else is excited!? Maybe it is just me? Maybe I am that crazy technology guy that no one really pays attention to anymore because, “He’s out there.” Maybe you’ve already said that about me?

iPad, Gaming, Augmented Reality, thin/cloud computing, Wi-Fi/3G/4G/etc. everywhere, all these pieces coming together slowly and surely to bring us into the next age of awareness. It’s not an information age anymore, it’s an awareness age. We are connected to more and more sources of quality than ever before. We filter the loads of data coming in through our social networks so we don’t get overloaded (We may still feel overloaded, but our filtering keeps getting better), we converse about more topics that affect everyone than ever before, we respond to tragedy faster than ever before (Haiti), and we are more aware of our surroundings than ever before. We are in an Age of Awareness. Of each other (social networks), of technology, and of the connections that we have to this life.

The old guard of media has been disbanded and obliterated, we own it, as Clay Shirky states, “The participants are the producers.” Paraphrasing of course. He says it’s like when you buy a book, you get the printing press free. I’ll continue this thought…..When you buy a movie, you get the production studio for free. Stick with me now, when you buy a computer, (the thing you participate in the social media, the internet, the network of individuals and organizations with) you get the social media, the networks for free. Think about it, you buy an apple computer and you get a photo editing and management app, a music production app, a video editing app, a dvd creation app, and a web site creation tool included with the computer! Not to mention the apps that we take for granted, like a web browser, email app, and multimedia playback apps.

My phone is an iPhone 3Gs, I have a video camera, video editing app, and network capability. I can shoot edit and upload complete with graphics, music, transitions, and credits. Huh, say what? Yeah, there’s an app for that. What do I need my Sony HDR-FX1 for? It takes 3 times as long (if not longer!) to get the material off the camera and onto the web, than it takes to do it on my phone – if the web is the place I’m sending it to. And that last part is the clincher, the web is the delivery system of choice. Don’t fool yourself into thinking that traditional media has long to live. DC is the place to be, with apps, video, news, books, movies, games, data, etc, etc, etc. What’s DC? Other than being a great skateboarding shoe company, and our nation’s capital, it stands for Downloadable Content. And we’ve been using it for years, whenever you check your bank statement online, rent netflix, steal music, check the news, it is what the internet is made of.

So, yes, the way we use computers and technology is in store for a big change, and it’s not just softkeyboards, touch screens and motion sensors, it’s in how we use the technology itself – increase, enhance, and experience awareness.

This has been a stream of consciousness, if this had been an actual option piece, my grammar and citations would have been included. Thanks for reading, and I would love it if you found me on facebook and twitter, and sent me a message

It’s kind of a tribute to iCarly, but not really since we don’t mention her show at all, but we’re totally trying to do the same thing.

Love that show.

Brady did all the filming himself except for the intro, and he plans to much more with the site. He wants to have voting and comments and “submit your own” videos, and much more. He’s probably going to convince his friends to come on the show with him, so stay tuned!

Just saw this while searching out some other Flash goodies

Adobe now makes it possible to create applications for the Apple iPhone using the Adobe Flash Platform. You heard right: We’re really excited to bring this new capability to Flash designers and developers—the ability to target the iPhone with ActionScript 3 projects. You will be able to test this functionality in the forthcoming beta release of Adobe Flash Professional CS5 on Adobe Labs.

It’s not fan boy behavior if its true
