CNET Reviews NEXT ISSUE, Netflix for Magazines

CNET has a review of this new App for iPad and Andriod called Next Issue. Basically for $180 a year you get access to the nearly 40 titles they have and every issue of each. So it is great for Magazine junkies, and they get back issues. You can also do a lesser subscription for $120 a year that doesn't include weeklies like Time, Entertainment Weekly, and a couple of others.Seems like a good idea, except not being able to pass it on except to other ipads that share your account. Still interesting, especially as they add more magazines.Actually my biggest question is if it can be used by multiple users on the same iTunes account, or is it one user per account. As it would be great if my Mom and Wife who share my iTunes account could use all the magazines. That would make it really useful, and a possible money saver.

Apple WWDC Keynote starts in a few minute

I am hoping for a kick ass new MacPro with the option of a high end NVIDIA graphics card, though the rumor sites seem to think it will be a last gen ATI card that is featured, which would suck, and prove that Apple does not get Video pros at all..

A Kickstarter Remote Control Cable System

An awesome remote control cable control Aircam for GoPro cameras has it's project up on Kickstarter. A $375 Pledge will get you one.This looks very cool, and so reasonably priced, though the $75,000 might be a lot to expect to raise. Still a very cool project.And for a bit more you can get a tripod attachement for the remote head. Very cool!

Blog is fixed, and all the archives are back up, and there is now a search implemented

I hope you continue to enjoy the blog.Still will likely be going down for a period of at least a month and maybe more coming up as I have open heart surgery, and will not be able to do much with my arms until my sternum heals and really can't sit in front of a computer. At least it will give time for my carpel tunnel which has been acting up to heal a bit.

Dan Frakes on Launchbar

Dan Frakes at Macworld has 2 excellent videos on my favorite launcher LAUNCHBAR. from Objective Development.The first page is here and the second with more advanced features is here, but I have embedded them below. I know this isn't my usual fare, but I have become so reliant on Launchbar that I hate working on other people's computers (which is an issue for an editor) as I use it literally all the time. It is the best time saving program out there. I don't know how people get by without it! And these videos taught me some things I did not know, so they are worth checking out.Launchbar 5 is $35, or $59 for a Family License.

Problems with blog

Currently only my oldest 2000 entries are up. It seems I can only upload 50 entries a day, so in a week or so the site should be all up and back to how it used to be. The only difference now being that I can have labels, but not tags.Still the change should be worth it as I can now make changes and new entries while I am on the go, which I can already do on my other two blogs (since they are wordpress blogs hosted on my server), but this way I can just easily do it at blogger.Hopefully will be done in another week, as I had other problems (category syncing errors kept me from syncing this weekend).

Why not so many updates of late

I have a genetic heart condition called Hyper Trophic Cardio Myopathy and it has gotten worse. So I am looking at surgery in the near future and since finding out I have had the worst headache, even after a trip to the chiropractor.I will keep updating, but this has kept things slow for the time being. Just a little too much on my mind of late, and working a lot as well.Still will continue with as many updates as I can do.
