By Giania • Oct 21st, 2008 • Category: Guides

Hot: A whole two days early, my G1 arrived on my doorstep. And now, for your viewing pleasure, the unboxing, and for your reading enjoyment, my first impressions of this snazzy new phone and it’s Google-developed OS, Android. I will say right now that this won’t be the first or last of Android unboxing posts, [...]



An Event Apart Day One Conference Notes Part 1

By Giania • Jun 27th, 2008 • Category: Guides

Hot: Day one was fraught with challenges, up to and including having trouble finding the venue.

By Giania • Feb 1st, 2008 • Category: Art

Hot: Jeremy Pettis has a virtually unusable, but intriguing, site. There is almost nothing of value I can tell you about it except for the following facts: It features type designed around an animal for each letter of the alphabet. Each one spells out the name of the animal in the type design. Each panel [...]
