iPhone? No thanks

Sunday, July 01, 2007

tincan iPhone. photo credit: Mark Hillary

it might seem an unlikely thing for a devoted Apple fan like myself to say, but I really don’t want an iPhone. I’d take any number of products from Cupertino with no bother, but there are 2 main reasons I’m holding off indefinitely on the phone, cute and all as it is, and as impressive as the touch-based UI seems to be.

I don’t need one

This is the boring but true reason - I carry my laptop with me most of the time, when I’m largely at the office (within striking distance of several wi-fi enabled cafes if I want to wander), or at home. I don’t have a long commute, I don’t travel on business (except riding my bike to visit clients), and I often carry a real camera with me in addition to the computer.

Introduction to Accessibility

Thursday, May 05, 2005

Next Thursday, May 12th, I’ll be addressing a meeting of NMIPA (New Mexico Internet Professional’s Association) on the subject of accessibility.

Together with Virginia DeBolt, author of ‘Integrated HTML and CSS: A Smarter, Faster Way to Learn’, I’ll outline the case for creating inclusive websites (and the benefits of doing so), and describes the basic steps you can take to improve the accessibility of your sites.

Talk about Writers’ Websites

Wednesday, April 27, 2005

In my unlikely capacity as both a professional writer and a professional website developer, I’ve been asked to talk to the New Mexico branch of the writers’ group PEN, on the subject of writers’ websites.

It’s next Tuesday, May 2nd, at 3pm in the Wheelwright Museum on Museum Hill in Santa Fe.

There’ll be slides and examples (of my sites and others), as well as refreshments and the like. All are welcome.
