Ushi Lang, call home! Insane 5th Ave Apple Store opening..

image
Insane crowds for the opening of a store. Admittedly, it’s an Apple Store, and it’s in a cool part of New York City (uptown, 5th Ave, in the “Holly Go Lightly” district), and…damn! The crowds were insane! Apple posted a time-lapse of the first 24-hours of the mayhem…but did you see the secret message?

Go to http://www.apple.com/retail/fifthavenue/gallery/timelapse.html (UPDATED) to see the video overview. Watch closely - you’ll see a guy flash by.

Go to the 05:00 time mark and play it from there?

Things have been quiet. Here’s why…

Life tosses you monkeys, so you build monkey bars…

Well it’s been a while between posts. Why?

* New girlfriend
* New apartment
* 4 web projects at work (portal, streaming media environment, rfid, online auction) & 2 at home (a walking site and ooogabooga. Please shoot me.)
* Oops - newer girlfriend
* Tax authorities who can’t count and don’t recognise when you pay them.
* Painting, cleaning, shopping
* Couches and curtains - why do these take to long to buy?
* Now no girlfriend
* Scala enterprise training
* Changing every address, every service, everywhere

Hopefully we can get back to this soon.

notes…

Just a small note before Shortcuts goes down for rebuilding (yes, really):

  • I’m one of the modestly converted - I like Flock. Even as a beta, it shows decent speed, but more…promise. I love the integrated blogging tool (using it now) and it’s made some processes easier. There are problems, of course - formating is busted and it hasn’t any proper keyboard controls in the editor as yet, but it’s certainly inspired enough for me to make it the daily driver.
  • I’ll be updating to at least 1.32 (possibly a 1.4 beta) of ExpressionEngine, my tool of choice. The big difference is that I’ll actually do something with it here - I just installed it as a whim and played a bit. Blogging is not a serious persuit for me - I prefer to build CMSs than to post in them, it seems. I’m rolling out EE and pMachine sites at a decent rate now so I can actually spend a little time on my own needs.
  • When? Well, I still have 3+ weeks of vacation time to use for this year. I might take some time off. Soon. Perhaps.

If you need me, you can get me in the usual ways, but Shortcuts will return in the format I originally intended…what that will be, you’ll have to see!

Speak to you all again soon…

Lots of work…

Actually, it’s been a pretty productive few weeks…

Besides re-envisioning our corporate website (online soon - hang on!) and managing that project, I’ve had the great opportunity to do the CSS programming for the 4-daagse march in Eindhoven, a new cms-driven website for a great writer in Heemstede (almost ready for prime-time), and then after that, I’m doing some very interesting magazine design for a notable publication. Hopefully, it’ll become a monthly gig, but we’ll have to see…

Which means I’ll have half of august free. Hmm…maybe I should actually do *this* site!
