Flipboard gets the finger, needs a hand

By Dale Peskin - July 28, 2010

One way or the other, Flipboard will make you flip. The new Pad app is either the personalized, social magazine you’ve been waiting for. Or it’s just another slick, content thief that fails to deliver on a fresh promise. At first flip, Flipboard is stunning (you have to download the app; the website is a [...]

Tabula Rasa: iPad’s blank slate

That hasn’t happened yet,” said Jim Roberts, the only New York Times wonk who didn’t confuse Steve Jobs with Moses. Valleywag has a good take on Print Media’s Big Tablet Letdown. Our enthusiasm [...]

OneWebDay: A toast to the net

By Andrew Nachison - September 16, 2009

The internet is a wondrous anomaly, a technical and creative achievement grander than the Tower of Babel, an infinite tangle of knowledge, ideals, data, entertainment, beauty, trivia, terror, news, noise, hubris, despair. It’s a cultural blender, a mixmaster archive crammed with visions, twits and everyday things.

A good day to do big things

By Dale Peskin - July 31, 2009

“Today is a good day to do big things,” Amanda said when she was eight. It was so profound that I wrote it down and saved  it. That was more than 20 years ago. She’s lived up to her words, but I seem to have let them slip over the years. Today I was given [...]
