Android Tops iPhone

Apple opinions are now taking a formal backseat to the market alternatives.  As of the first quarter of 2010 both the leading mobile operating system as well as the leading mobile browser are not owned by Apple.
 

U.S. Is Running Out Of Oil, Or Are We

This week on Tuesday the President interrupted primetime to talk to the nation about the horrible oil spill in the Gulf. The effort outlined assured the people of the U.S. that extraordinary efforts were being made to take control of the situation and protect the environment.  The second major point was all about assuring the citizens of the U.S. that BP (the oil company which owned the deep sea drill) would be footing the bill.

Retiring Design Techniques

In the world of design there will always be traditional techniques that endure. And the principles for good design while learned require creative insight and inspiration and talent for application.  Said another way, one can learn to be a design critic but not everyone can be a designer.

Setting Records Straight on Palin

Sarah PalinSo, maybe you remember this issue.  After Sarah Palin didn’t get elected vice president there was this breaking story where the press claimed she wasn’t the hockey-mom she pretended to be.  Rather, she was this woman who was an unreasonable Diva who bought over $130K on clothing at

The Political Culture of Washington DC

Allow me to vent about the political culture of Washington, DC.

This goes out to all of the frustrated party goers regardless of what side of the room you sit on. I don't who you are or whether you are affiliate with a particular view or not, I am starting to get the feeling that the frustration with DC is now very universal. Here is what I am irked at for the moment.
