Appled
As featured elsewhere, one month ago I started a new job at Apple’s Yaletown office. In that month I’ve met some great people, worked on some interesting things… and that’s about it. My team works very hard, so work/life balance is the new challenge for me.
Besides the time impact, this will also have some content impact on my writing here at Antipode. A lot of my posts have been about Apple, since I’m really into their products. As you probably know, they take their secrets very seriously, so I have to establish some boundaries.
Obviously nothing I say here represents Apple. On top of that, I’m going to refrain from making predictions about Apple products, as fun as it is. I don’t learn much about upcoming products anyway, but this is just a good idea. Also obvious should be that I won’t be talking about what I’m working on.
Despite all that, I’m optimistic that I can keep the blogging train rolling here. Onward!

Welcome back, eh.
FWIW, there’s lots to write about other than fruity hardware/software companies. Like fish, or towels, or restaurants near (or at the end of) the universe. But the best stuff is the low-level howto sense, and the high-level meta philosophy of the industry. Predicting products is surprisingly shallow, like those lame top10 lists and sarcastic flowcharts. Word.

Towels. That’s always a good topic. Just after high school I was telling my friend about all the things you could do with a towel. He threatened to stab me if I continued. I pointed out if he did stab me, I could use a towel to compress the wound.
A few weeks later, when I got out of the hospital…
I’m kidding about that last part.
