The Web I Visit 10 Years Ago

With the upcoming HTML 5, CSS 3.0 and the already so wide-spread Web 2.0 looking sites, I look back to those websites that I often visit 10 years ago. And just wonder how time and technology has gradually upped our design taste buds that the moment we look at these sites: a total turn-off!

Google

Yahoo

Hotmail

Altavista (one of my fave search engines, 10 years ago!)

Microsoft

Apple

Seems like after all, Apple has the edge all along :) Minimalist at heart!

Ah, thus the change of this wordpress theme as well, towards minimalism, not blind minimalism but a meaningful one!

Alkitab : a Free iPhone Bible app dedicated to Indonesians

alkitab icon

Disclaimer:
Though I did take part in designing some part of this app, the icons, the interfaces, but the programmer/author of this app is still this guy :D So please go and thank him, not me!

Description

An Indonesian Bible (Alkitab Indonesia), complemented with an English KJV Bible. Features include search, bookmarks, annotations and history. Completely free and I hope this would be a blessing for all :)

IMPORTANT : click on the verse number when viewing the bible text to annotate, highlight, or bookmark it

Get it through iTunes here

icy, iBlogger and iPhone

image835183721.jpgIcy, the replacement for Installer in jailbroken iPhones surprised me with improved design for the installation and download screen. In comparison to Cydia which still shows bunch of codes laymen wouldn’t understand lol.

Currently testing another blogging app on iPhone called iBlogger. Apparently following closely the concept behind the well-known mac blogging app called ecto. Interface design-wise still very disappointing according to Apple standard.

Copy, cut and pasting is as easy as a few touch on the screen on this iPhone.
With the OS upgrade to 3.0, iPhone is now far ahead most mobilephones in term of power and capabilities. It truly transcends the common idea of PDA, even blackberry phones to reach a whole new level of sophistication. Simply amazing ;)

Is iPhone just another trend? Yes and no. Why can’t someone be pretty and smart as well? Similarly why can’t something be good looking and useful at the same time?


Mobile Blogging from here.

Hahaha!

Okay, while I’m still so high on the quick response of AppleCare towards replacing my spoilt charger, and of course, the machine due to arrive on Friday, I saw this on a forum and think it’s worth posting it here.

Sometimes, a sideview says it all. I’m not a mere “blind” Apple fangirl. We have our reasons why we love macs so much!

Thank you!

A Beatiful Affair

Exams, iPhone OS and more…

Hohoho!

no, not Santa, but exams are here. Just had one today, didn’t really feel like an exam though.

We had a partial power blackout in certain part of the main house and my housemate’s room. No internet too. Life without internet is hard! LOL

What else is here? iPhone OS 3.0! Oh well, not really here here as it’s due to be released over the summer, but it’s total awesomeness, really really really and I can say really till tomorrow but it’s better to just check my post here to confirm for yourself http://www.macgeek.co.cc/2009/03/iphone-os-30-whats-groundbreaking-whats-new/

While on “stress-mode” I baked brownies yesterday night, mixed homogeneously till my arm hurted but the outcome was so TOTALLY worth it. I should make brownies for others when I’m back in Singapore. Did I mention that I made a very good beef rawon too? though I get very stingy about the beef portion since it’s expensive, but the soup alone is nice! (plus soy sauce, of course)

Oh, I slept only for 2 hours last night but I felt fresh! Haha :D

The Best Apple Ad Ever?

You know when you surfed to apple.com, you’ll see dynamic/changing ads on the first page everytime you refresh. Over the years, Apple has been designing top-notch advertisement. I think their philosophy is be different, don’t look good, look GREAT, advertise with sleek design and further advertisement will be from mouth to mouth (like from this Apple fangirl). Oh, of course the I’m PC I’m Mac ads but I’m pretty sure that’s just for fun, not so much for advertising.

Do people get showcased in their ads? They used to be. Now it’s more of just product + tag line, or software + features. So, Apple fangirl in action presents you this. Click on it for the original large version. Now all of you can say, “YOU WISH!”. Thank you very much.

what geek?

Hi guys,


I created this yesterday and just pre-launched a new blog called macgeek. Basically, it’s blogging about interesting mac-related stuff. It’s not really open to public, or publicized or whatever yet. I’m just trying to keep it private till I filled it up with enough interesting blog posts (there are currently only 6) :]

I’m not sure if there are any huge Apple fanboy/girls among my friends but if there is anyone reading this who has the same passion and would like to contribute (voluntarily of course) or if you just have any suggestion of any posts you would like to see, please contact me :]

hulu hulu!

I’m an official hulu addict. I watch hulu for lunch, watch hulu for dinner, watch hulu to fall asleep (yeah it really helps)! Who says I’m wasting my time in US? When else can I hulu like this. LOL.

What is hulu?

Hulu.com is a free online video service that offers most updated US famous TV shows legally of course.

And while we’re on mac’s you feel good (Windows users, maybe one day you’ll feel good too when you switch over)… This alpha mac app called boxee is supposedly a kinda social media center, but without friends inside I still got to enjoy its nice interface and its integration with many online sites including hulu, so double YEAY!

Hulu+Boxee! Such a weird name for both :]

Love,

AppleFanGirl (they deserve it)
