October 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.

Twelve South just launched the PlugBug Charger, a charging accessory allowing you to plug both a MacBook power block and an iOS device into one outlet. Simple, well designed, genius. The people at Twelve South continue to release great products. (Via minimalmac)

I saw in one of your tweets last week that you said you and your wife had white iPhones, do you use a cover at all? I'm having trouble finding a good, nice cover that won't make it look tacky. Any idea were I can find one?
When it comes to direct cases/covers on the phone, I always stick with the clear Incase Snap Case. It’s important to get the completely clear version, not the frosted version (which looks bizarre). I’ve gone through about four of these since I got my first iPhone 4—when you drop your phone the case will often break, but only because it’s taking on the shock instead of your device. The good news is they’re cheap and much easier to replace than a broken iPhone.
If you’re looking for an all-in-one case that holds your iPhone and acts as a wallet, I’d highly recommend the Twelve South BookBook. I’ve been using this since it was released and it’s great to keep your phone and credit cards all in once place. The only negative is that to take photos, you have to slip the phone up out of the case a bit. Long-term, especially with the newly improved iPhone 4S camera, this has caused me to stop using it. But if you don’t take a ton of pictures, I’d recommend it.

What are the specs on both you iMac and Macbook Air?
My iMac is the 27-inch 3.4 GHz Core i7 Thunderbolt model, with the SSD+HDD option (250GB/1TB). I bumped it up to 16GB of RAM. It’s an insanely fast monster.
My MacBook Air is the 13-inch 2.13 GHz model with 4GB and a 256GB SSD. I have the second revision (pre-Thunderbolt). The MacBook Air is obviously significantly less powerful than the iMac, but for an ultra-portable it’s very capable. I regularly use it for development and design work without issue.
Speaking of what’s in my dock, why are all application developers still using blue as their primary icon color? I know I’m not the first person to complain about this, but it’s really out of control.
Because it’s so wide-spread, applications with more colorful icons (in this case, Reeder, Chrome and iA Writer) stand much more and look less generic. Icon designers: It’s time to quit blue for a while. It’s okay. There are other colors out there.

How well does the iPhone 4s's camera compare to your Fuji X100? and what are your thoughts on the X100?
The camera in the iPhone 4S is very good, and definitely better than the iPhone 4’s, but it’s still no match for a high-quality camera along the lines of the X100 or a DSLR. The real question, these days, isn’t so much whether or not the iPhone camera compares to other great non-phone cameras, but whether or not it’s good enough to not bother grabbing a bigger camera when you head out for the day. Personally, I still prefer to bring my X100 or 5d whenever I’m planning on taking lots of photos.
