Things of Interest to Lisa & John

Inner Rush

Tribute to one of my favorite bands of all time.

Augmented Sandbox Reality

New meaning to “sandbox” when it comes to playing with software.

Bluetooth Stylus for iPad

John — Tue, 01 May 2012 03:59:33 +0000

I have been enjoying the Paper App for iPad (by Fifty Three). I think new stylus like the one being deigned by Ten One will add to those kinds of apps a whole new level of functionality.

Cool Microsoft Physics Video

This has some pieces of what I think will happen when Kinect developers take things to the next level.

Pages for iPad

I can see why there is a run on stylus. I forgot myself and asked for one at the Apple store. They have all these awesome accessories (iPad stands, battery extenders, cases) and no stylus. Now there is a reason to get one.

Dropbox Hack Week Video

I am a huge Dropbox fan. This is a fairly cool video about a Hack Week put on at the company.

Mailchimp, my new BFF

John — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 08:26:21 +0000

I was sitting with Lisa at a local coffee shop. She was working on a new Newsletter (for her awesome business, GetConnected Communications) We were talking about how to get Mailchimp’s default templates customized… at first glance it doesn’t behave the way we thought it should… I decided, even though it was a holiday, to submit a ticket to the Mailchimpilicious Support team.

Amazingly, in a few minutes I get a response from Abby in Mailchimp Support Central… It says, you want to customize, we got your email template downloads right here.

Arms in the air, victory! It takes just a few minutes in Dreamweaver the make the changes.

Lisa says, “Abby is your new BFF.”

You can guess what I did now, I’m sure. I send a response, declaring Mailchimp Support my new BFF.

Abby responds saying what kind of BFF would she be if she didn’t send me a T-Shirt.

Schaweet! I’ve been secretly coveting a Mailchimp T-Shirt since they were announced. I exchange personals and logistics… then a few days later…

I have my very own Mailchimp T-Shirt. You can be jealous now.
