mini Interview with Designer Coder Steven Troughton-Smith

steven.jpg
MacHappens . Steven Troughton-Smith 1. How do you tackle a deadline? In short - badly! Due to the pressures of university and the fact that I work alone most of the time, my time management is all over the place. I only have my leisure time in which to work, and must therefore struggle to motivate myself into getting the job done; if a project is getting awkward, I end up leaving it for a while to find something more cheery to do. 2. Give us a brief breakdown of your workflow on ...

mini Interview with Engineer Mike Lee

obamaapp.png
MacHappens . Mike Lee 1. How do you tackle a deadline? I work. Deadlines are just the motivation I need to sit down and buckle in until the work is done. Leading a team is a different matter. Those projects are larger, and I've learned the hard way buckling in is not my best move. My strategy as an engineering manager is to ensure my team has what they need to ...

mini Interview with Artist Louie Mantia

about.png
MacHappens . Louie Mantia 1. How do you tackle a deadline? I tackle deadlines the same as anyone else, it's all about priority management. I first need to find out exactly what the client wants (when I can) and then start working on versions and checking up with them to make sure they're satisfied along the way. Honestly, I wouldn't say I had too many deadlines in the past, the work was generally open. 2. Give us a brief breakdown of your workflow on a given project. First I'll receive the request from the client for work, and if taken, ...

iPhone Portable Charger

After searching long and hard (google did all the work), and bypassing the DIY route, I found the TC2 portable iPod charger. It uses two "AA" batteries and works beautifully with my new iPhone. Finally, a use for the twenty NiMH batteries I have left over from my old digital camera. MacHappens

Loving eReader

Once upon a time I coveted piles of books, and literally tones of collectables. I have to admit that my collecting days are over. Don't get me wrong. I love books and most tangible media, but part of my lower impact aspirations include not collecting more "Stuff". Gadgets? They don't count as stuff do they? Hypocritically speaking. Missing the point. Cool iPhone App = eReader MacHappens

Everything Mac, Everything iPhone

imacbook.jpg
An email (including the image below) perks my interest.. as was intended. WWDC 2008 "A landmark event. In more ways than one... Everything Mac. Everything iPhone. San Francisco, June 9-13, 2008." This leads me to think that either a divergence or synergy is about to happen. Apple, a long proponent of single devices for single purposes, seems to be swaying the way of convergence lately. I for one think a tablet would be cool, though I'm really in the mood for a Mac version of ...
