Love or Hate Ipad Mini:Peripheral drift illusion

You can love apple or you can hate Apple but nothing comes close to their marketing... and I can defend that.  I was reviewing their new Ipad Mini and while reading the review I couldn't help but just glance back up to the iPad.  Was I really just infactuated with the picture soo much that I couldn't take the time to read the actual review?  No and hopefully from you reading this right now you have too looked up twice to the Ipad picture I posted.  Why? The picture in the iPad itself causes an illusion that when looking at it in your peripheral will begin to move.  I love art direction and I love marketing and this is blissful.  This is the kind of detail I dream of hopefully conquering but man you have to give them credit.  Ok I'm done you can go back on with your lives.

Super bowl Ads and rants

Ah! The Super Bowl is tomorrow but I'm not into sports...well watching them anyways.  Who do you think is going to present the best ads? I hope its not Burger King, that place has been basically kicked outta my town and I hate their burgers, what a weird excuse to burn something...oh but its flame broiled? Gross.  Nothing better than burnt fast food...  Anyways it's gotta be a car commercial or something but wouldn't it be great if it was some new Apple product like Apple TV or something that would again rule the tech world.  I'm kinda tired of these Insurance and car ads.  Frankly I own neither one and don't plan on it.  They aren't fun and cost more than the benefits.  So lets hopefully place some ads of some fun new exciting products.  This leads to me thinking that there should be guy stores in the mall...I'm tired of hanging out with my gf wondering around looking at girl stores when if there were some interesting guy stores it would be a little more enjoyable.  Sure I'm from a small town but our mall is the epicenter of the town so it is comparable to bigger city malls.  I've been to bigger cities malls and there isn't much retail stores for guys with my interest unless its an Apple store the only thing close are those stupid stores that sell you the massage chair that is also a iPod charger that is also a TV that is also a potato chip maker.  Its fun to go in there once or twice to make fun of but i couldn't imagine paying 84.95 for an automatic back scratcher.  Enough of my rants and to all a good night. Woot to football!

Steve Jobs

I have been able to head to audible.com which I think is from amazon and grabbed the Steve Jobs Biography for free with some credit deal they had.  I hate reading due to time and concentration.  Being able to plug in my headphones...into my iPhone and work on websites ect all while listening to an audio book is great!  I've been listening to it since last week and I find it really addictive.  I'm realizing how demanding Steve was and how much pressure it is to be part of a company such as Apple.  It will be really cool to see if anybody makes a movie about this.  This book has really opened my eyes on how much work entails in Apples great products.  I could explain it but Its something everybody should read.  Apple has effected so many peoples lives and It makes for some closure to a guy that everybody knew but no body knew at all.

Head to Audible to get a free credit that you can view on any device.

Pretty neat :)
