A fight is breaking out among software developers:... →
A recent interview I did with the Los Angeles Times discussing the viability of web apps replacing native software. They also interviewed Loren Brichter—creator of the fabulous Tweetie and one of the best Mac developers out there—poising us against each other as the champions of web/native technology. Generally, though, I think Loren and I see pretty eye-to-eye on the subject: Web apps present a...

101 Things I Learned in Interaction Design School →
This looks to be a great blog series about interaction design and general business procedures. Some of my favorite posts so far have been about balancing being right and being employed and being wary of ill-defined scope.

The Panic Blog →
The fine folks over at Panic have released a new company blog, with beautiful detail and polish. I love how each “department” is given its own post design.

Showtime, the iPhone web app →
maniacalrage: Neven Mrgan: Nial Giacomelli has done a bang-up job with Showtime, his web app for keeping track of your favorite TV shows. It’s not fabulous “for a web app”, it’s fabulous period.
