On Tuesday December 2nd at 5pm, I’ll be participating in a panel discussion about iPhone Application Development at the Glasgow Apple Store.
Whether you already have an application available on the App Store or are just getting started, you won’t want to miss David Master’s demonstration of how to create an application for the iPhone. Following [...]
The Great British High Street deserves to die. These days it’s far from Great and not very British, but it is collectively as high as a kite. The entire experience of British retail is like a Lord of the Flies-themed amusement park.
Firstly, the stores are terrible. The architecture of our high streets [...]
I recently joined Jeff Gamet, Joe Kissell, Jean MacDonald and Chuck Joiner for an episode of MacJury. Despite not being culturally aligned with the imminent shopping binge that consumes the United States, I offered a couple of gift ideas from the past year.

The only High Dynamic Range (HDR) images I like are the ones whose tags I have to consult to discover that they were so constructed. Every new tool brings a period of wild experimentation after which we either rewrite the rulebook or reassert the old rules. We’re coming out of that experimental period with [...]
We’ve finalised the abstract of my session at MacDev 2009:
Learn how to integrate your service or application with Apple’s photography applications iPhoto and Aperture. If your application consumes images, you’ll want to know how to get the most out of the Apple photography ecosystem. In this session, Fraser Speirs will cover the SDKs for iPhoto [...]
John Gruber recently condemned Apple’s new Retail Store Field Trip program in brief but strong terms:
