Fixed Two Bugs
Bill Griesau: I fixed two bugs that were a really big pain in the ass.

Me: That's my favorite kind of bug fixing.

Anonymous asked: Jawbone Up review? Looks like you had a blast in Seattle, and your wife is adorable like kittens on YouTube, but get back to work. And by 'work' I don't mean Karbon, but the other thing where you provide me with free advice on products and/or services. Thanks, Murray.

Fliers Still Must Turn Off Devices, but It's Not... →
Nick Bilton for the New York Times’ Bits blog:
Nevertheless, Les Dorr, a spokesman for the F.A.A., said the agency would rather err on the side of caution when it comes to digital devices on planes. He cited a 2006 study by the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics, a nonprofit group that tests and reports on technical travel and communications issues. The group was asked by the...

Anonymous asked: I'd also like to know what iPad 2 case you use? If any at all. I'm debating over a naked iPad or a not so sleek but protective case. Any suggestions?

EasyPay, Customer Experience and The Future™
On Wednesday I visited my local Apple Store to purchase two Jawbone Up bands (more on this later) and had an opportunity to use the new EasyPay system for the first time. I found my items, pulled out my iPhone and opened the Apple Store app. It knew I was in an Apple Store and brought up the EasyPay menu. I pointed the camera at the UPC code of one of the Up packages, and it recognized the code...

Me: Mopie or Moox or Miggins... something.
Shawn Morrison: Yeah, it's Miggins.
Shawn Morrison: I use an app called Miggins.

Shawn Morrison: Honeslty, I'm downloading that immediately.

WatchOctober in LA
While our friends on the east coast dealt with a snow storm we spent one of the last days of October at the beach. Living in LA has completely ruined us for seasons.
Shot entirely on my iPhone 4S, edited with Final Cut Pro X. Music is “Midnight City” by M83 from their new album Hurry Up We’re Dreaming.
