Two things shipped today: My new 16GB black iPad 512 Pixels t-shirts US readers should get their shirts this week, with international readers a few days later. Except for Federico Viticci, whose shirt is going to take about 10 years to get to Italy.
I’ve thought a lot about this over the last few days. Currently, everything on 512 Pixels would be considered a “post” on a DF-style blog. That is, that the headline goes to the permalink for the post itself, not to the linked content. The most common criticism of this set up is that it seems [...]
Today, I’m happy to share that my first ebook, Bartending: Memoirs of an Apple Genius is well underway. It’s a collection of short stories from my time behind the Genius Bar. To mark the announcement, I’ve decided to share one of the chapters with you here. Look for the book on the Kindle bookstore next [...]
This morning, I posted a survey, asking readers what they thought about linked lists, and the lack of a true, DF-Style list here on 512 Pixels. Here are the results: I’m in the group that likes things they way they are. I have switched the RSS sponsor links to link-style posts, and will be thinking [...]

Produced in conjunction with 70Decibels, and co-hosted by my pal Myke Hurley, the weekly show will cover roughly the same things I do here on the site — Apple, journalism and design. Episode 01 “Genesis” is available for download now. On it, Myke and I [...]
From the interview: What was your first job growing up? My first job was cutting grass for people in the neighborhood. I made enough money when I was 15 to buy a car with cash when I turned 16. I learned about being responsible, taking care of my belongings and how to be respectful to [...]
I’ll be closing pre-orders a week from today, so get your order in soon. A big thanks to those of you who have already!
Buy a shirt; save the world. Or at least show the world your inner nerd. The shirts are just $18, and available for a limited time.
New as of tonight: Switched to ragged-right alignment in the sidebar. CSS for links and kerning on various bits of text is better. Sidebar and body containers are narrower for easier reading. The site is semi-responsive now. The site logo and Read & Trust logo in the footer are now Retina-ready. On an iPhone 4 [...]
