The Software Story

Written By Myke Hurley 2011-10-12T03:00:00Z

In this episode, we have Matthew Bischoff of Quotebook and The New York Times back on the show. We catch up a bit on what he is up to these days but I mainly wanted to engage him in a thought train that I have been on for a little while. That being, the idea that software tells a story. Sometimes intentionally. Sometimes unintentionally. But, always, there is a story being told. He is a great guest and it is an interesting discussion.

He also was kind enough to supply me with the most epic set of links I think we have had for any show to date …

Boom!:

      Selfishly Social

      Written By Myke Hurley 2011-10-10T02:00:00Z

      In this episode, we follow up on my week long break from social networking. We talk about some of the changes this brought about for me in the way I approach things like Twitter. Myke certainly has some probing questions for me and I think we both come away with some good things to think about.

        The Future Is Coming

        Written By Myke Hurley 2011-09-29T03:00:00Z

        In this episode, Myke and I discuss a number of topics including, the Metro UI in Microsoft Windows 8, the differences between Microsoft and Apple in the way they organize internally, the way other companies will show something that is two years from release where Apple would never dream of telegraphing their moves that far out, how IT is being besieged my the Mac and iOS, and much, much more. We also discuss the "upcoming" Kindle tablet that, well, has now come out. We record these in advance so mea culpa.

          A Week Without Social Networks

          Written By Myke Hurley 2011-09-27T03:00:00Z

          In this episode, Myke and I discuss my recent decision to take a one week social networking break. I discuss my reasons for trying this experiment at length in a post at Minimal Mac. Suffice to say that I have come to believe that in order to really evaluate the meaning, place, and value something has in ones life is to take a step away from it for a while.

            Enough for Myke

            Written By Myke Hurley 2011-09-22T03:00:00Z

            Myke went out and bought himself a shiny new 11 inch Macbook Air. No such purchase would really feel complete without our being able to do an Enough for Myke.

                  In today's episode, we discuss Twitter apps. What we are using, how we are using it, the whole shebang. We also discuss Tweet Marker, a new service for Twitter app developers to use to keep your timeline in sync. Myke is pretty jazzed about it and he tells us why.

                    Evernote Vs Yojimbo - No Mas

                    Written By Myke Hurley 2011-09-08T03:00:00Z

                    In this episode, 1(http://web.archive.org/web/20111023062211/http://nerdgap.com/) returns once again to talk about Evernote since it now has a slew of new features making it even more of a staunch competitor to my "everything box" of choice, Yojimbo. Despite my general aversion to Evernote, I can appreciate that it might just be the perfect tool for a lot of folks. That said, I still take issue with it’s data goes in one way but can only come out another strategy. Despite this, it was a heathy discussion and debate once again.
