MobileMe: Verily We Scorn, Scene 1.

I just bought my wife an iPhone after two years of her hating mine.  She downright despised it.  Then her killerapp came along and she just had to have it.  (I won’t tell you what app it is, but I’m sure you can guess it has something to do with Women’s insecurities.

With both of us having access to the supreme mobile device on the planet (come on android and webos!  I’m rooting for you!), I decided to go ahead and buy a MobileMe account so we could have immediate access to a shared calendar.  Gosh, I’ve lived without it for so long, (How long ago was I using Palm Treos?)  I forgot how much I wanted it.

Buying a MobileMe subscription at the same time as your phone nets you $30 off.  I highly recommend it.

Dot Star Question Mark and Other Mishaps

I’m in the process of rolling out a new feature for Raveal.  Sometime during development of it, I noticed that suddenly a large portion of the portfolio slowed way down.  In fact, pulling up the edit screen took about 3 seconds on my dev computer!  That’s not quite right.

This new feature adds projects to the portfolio.  In the context of Raveal, a project is a free form “document” that allows you to create just about anything to describe work you have done.  It could be straight up text.  Or it could be text with diagrams and illustrations.  Or it could be images and video with short paragraphs explaining each.  It truly is so powerful, I worry that people will have a hard time figuring out what they want to use it for!
