    A few days ago, The Washington Post released an iPad app that gives you access to all of the paper’s content. Like the New York Times app, it’s free for now (as long as you register), but while the NYT hasn’t come out and said exactly when it will start charging, the Washington Post free…

  • NYT iPad App Still Screwing Up Image Galleries

    Why does the New York Times iPad app still do the thing you see pictured above, which is having an article that is supposed to be pretty much just a slideshow that shows up in another section, but with no slideshow or link to it. It always annoyed me with the Editor’s Choice version of…

  • EGMi on Facebook

    Been meaning to mention this for a while now, but a few weeks ago EGM launched a Facebook app version of their weekly digital-only EGMi. The magazine itself hasn’t changed at all, it’s just a way to have it live inside Facebook — you can pop it out as you can on EGMi’s regular site.…

    I hope you saw the article recently on SNOW Magazine about the upcoming launch of TOO MUCH magazine, and if you didn’t, get to it. It’s the new magazine by Editions OK FRED — yes, OK FRED magazine is no more, but they have still been publishing one-off projects, and with TOO MUCH they return…

    Here it is, as promised, the first episode of my new (hopefully) weekly music podcast called Codex. As I explained before, I record it live using the Djay software, so please don’t mind the errors here and there — it’ll get better, I’m sure. This one was recorded at home, but for future episodes I’ll…

    When it was 20:15 last night and we were still only 8 people at Cafe Pause for PauseTalk Vol. 46, I thought we were in for a disaster of a night, but as we kicked things off and the night wore on, I do believe it ended up being my favorite edition so far. The…

  • Wired UK for iPad

    We’d been waiting for it for a while, and last week finally marked the release of the first iPad edition of Wired UK. I was especially interested in seeing what the team behind the UK spinoff would come up with in terms of layout and format — just how different or similar to the US…

    The dangers of automating layouts and content, as exemplified this morning by this front page in the “World” section of the New York Times app for iPad.

    Forgot to post my regular PauseTalk reminder earlier this week, so here goes: PauseTalk Vol. 46 happens this Monday (November 8) at Cafe Pause, with the usual start time of 20:00 — it was pushed back a week so as not to clash with Tokyo Design Week. I also always send out a reminder through…

    The seventh issue of Steven Gregor’s excellent Gym Class Magazine is about to come out, and I’m very happy to have contributed to it in the form of a short interview with composer Shigeru Umebayashi (In the Mood for Love, House of Flying Daggers, A Single Man). The cover feature is an interview with legendary…
