This is amazing.
The power of celebrity can be amazing, if it’s in the right hands. I don’t think, however, that there’s very many people who handle that responsibility with as much grace, respect, and kindness as Wil Wheaton. He’s a good goddamn guy.

I’ve never really wanted to take a cruise. Even less now. And now, the cruise lines are costing millions of dollars and not paying taxes. Fun stuff!
Aucontrary Proofreads iMore.com
Today, I’ll be proofing a post from Rene Ritchie, iMore’s Editor-in-chief.
http://www.imore.com/samsungs-galaxy-s4
Our first example actually contains 2 typos in one sentence:
See if you can spot them both. I’ll give you a hint. It is apparent that whatever Rene uses to author content does not have a spell-checker.
Next we have ‘an’ where we should have had ‘a’. A common problem as you are revising a post and reword something placing a word that starts with a consonant where there was a vowel before. Still, easily identified and fixed with a quick proofread before publishing. If only there was an editor to do that.
Finally, we have a sentence that I’m not really sure what it is supposed to be, but I am fairly certain that this is not what Rene was thinking he was communicating as he typed it.
That’s all for now. Stop back often, because I am sure there will be plenty more examples to come.
CloudOn
I blogged about CloudOn an Office Suite solution for iPad over on Knowit.net.
Dropbox Replacements
A friend and I started a new Blog together Here is my first post over there discussing the challenges for anyone who wants to compete with Dropbox.
I May Already be a Winner!!!!
I’m SO EXCITED! I just won $800,000 Canadian dollars. That’s gotta be at least $25 US dollars or something like that, right?
I know everyone is going to be JEALOUS when they find out that I won and THEY didn’t!
Transporter Week 1
Last week, I received my Transporter. You can read the unboxing and my thoughts after 1 day. After a week of use, I thought I’d update my impression of the device.
The biggest thing I’ve seen people talk about is how this is a Dropbox replacement. And it is not bad as a Dropbox replacement. Except, Dropbox is integrated into so many things. 1Password, FileThisFetch, etc. Transporter, not so much … yet. Who knows what the future will bring.

I love Dr Suess books. There is nothing more magical than reading them with a child.
