Thomas Suarez: iPhone application developer… and 6th grader
Thursday, December 1, 2011 · Topics: ipad, ipad-developers, iphone
From TED: Thomas Suarez is a 6th grade student at a middle school in the South Bay of Los Angeles. When Apple released the Software Development Kit (SDK), he began to create and sell his own applications. “My parents, my friends and even the people at the Apple store all supported me,” he says, “and Steve Jobs inspired me”. Thomas points out that it’s hard to learn how to make an app. “For soccer you could go to a soccer team … but what if you want to make an app?” He’s started a club for fellow students at school, where he shares his knowledge of programming. Thomas articulates his vision that students are a valuable new technology resource to teachers, and should be empowered to offer assistance in developing the technology curriculum and also assist in delivering the lessons. · Watch video →
Classical conducting? There’s an App for that
Wednesday, November 23, 2011 · Topics: ipad, music, orchestras, trends
Review by Allan Kozinn in NY Times: Jeffrey Kahane offered glimpses of both the past and a possible future in his performance with the New York Philharmonic at Avery Fisher Hall on Tuesday evening. In the first half of the program he conducted works by Bach and Mozart from the harpsichord, a nod to the practice of the time, and later he was both soloist and conductor in Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1. He played the Beethoven from memory, but for the Mozart, he used an iPad instead of a conventional score. Seeing the device perched on the harpsichord’s music stand called to mind the cover of Wendy Carlos’s “Switched-On Bach” album, on which the bewigged composer stands before a Moog synthesizer, though the iPad is elegantly miniature by comparison. · Go to Classical conducting?

Julia Child’s ‘Mastering the Art of French Cooking’ joins e-book revolution
Friday, October 14, 2011 · Topics: cooking, cooking-recipes, e-books, ipad
Clumsily splattering a cookbook with bacon grease is one thing. Doing it to an iPad is quite another. That may explain why cookbooks have been late bloomers in the e-book revolution, lagging behind other categories, like fiction, that have been widely embraced in digital form. Yet cookbooks have recently begun to show signs of strength in the digital book market, bolstered by publishers who are releasing e-book editions of new titles simultaneously with the print versions and converting older, classic cookbooks into digital form. · Go to Julia Child’s ‘Mastering the Art of French Cooking’ joins e-book revolution →
