Here’s what it looked like in today’s edition of 24hrs (PDF link):
and a photo of the real thing:
Here’s a link to Buzz’ blog post about it.
I still think it’s cool to get a mention in ‘the paper’ (especially about hacking the iPhone in mainstream media) and in the great company of Boris, Nick and Rebecca to name a few.
It’s great that Buzz is writing about lots of people and events in the local tech scene.
Thanks to Warren, who interviewed me recently for my thoughts on the upcoming iPhone App Store and what it will mean for people currently enjoying Installer on their iPhones. I think it just hit newstands today, so check out page 15 of the August issue. I guess I’m officially an iPhone expert because it’s in print!
Here’s a few pictures of it…I’ll link the full article once/if it hits the Mac|Life site:
Buzz also interviewed me for an epic iPhone piece for 24hr magazine (a daily paper here in Vancouver) but it got edited down to half the size. He posted the full article on his site though.
My media tour continues this Friday bright and early when you might hear me on Crave while in line to get my shiny new iPhone and then later in the morning on CKNW’s Bill Good show talking about (wait for it) the iPhone and if it’s a game changer.
Okay, not really at all but I couldn’t think of a better title.
While I was lounging on the beach in Hawaii recently, two separate articles in which I was interviewed for appeared online (and possibly in dead tree form too - I actually don’t know).
The first one was for the UBC Thunderbird Newspaper and was about the environmental impacts of all the technology being consumed by folks like yours truly. I guess I come across as a big Apple fanboy (big surprise) that recycles my gadgets but I’m not 42 (37 as of this moment) and I don’t claim to be the first in Canada with an iPhone - just one of the first to bring one into Canada (within days of it’s release in the US) as well as one of the first to unlock it to use as a phone in Canada on Rogers. UPDATE: Allison updated the article.
I’ll leave it to you decide how I come across in these kinds of things but they are fun to do and I’m honored people are interested in my thoughts on stuff.
During the Northern Voice Opening Party, Chris Heur asked if he could do a quick interview with me. Chris was doing this to capture the event by talking to as many people as possible and asking them a couple of questions. He simply used his cellphone and a service called Utterz to record the interview and it automagically posted it to his blog, twitter and to his Utterz page (and possibly other places). He also managed to take a decent photo of me which is pretty much a miracle.
Hopefully I sound as cool as everyone else he interviewed during his trip to Vancouver. Thanks Chris…it was a fun thing to participate in and a cool way to capture the people attending the conference.
