MacRumors’ Buyer’s Guide

Thanks to the meltdowns that occur when Apple releases a new iPhone or iPad, you generally know when it’s the right time to buy, but during the lulls and for less explosive products, MacRumors’ Buyer’s Guide is an excellent resource. The page lists every Apple model from the iPhone to the Apple Cinema Display and tells you if it’s a good time to buy or if you should hold out for a newer model.

Just recently, I had my eye on the site when deciding when to buy a new laptop. The MacBook Pro was labeled red, “Buy only if you need it – Approaching the end of a cycle,” but then on October 24th, the MacBook Pro’s status was changed to green, “Buy Now! Product just updated,” and buy I did.

Even if you’re not in the market for a new Apple product, the Buyer’s Guide is still a great resource when it comes to tracking the company’s progress and anticipating what might come in the future.

SYLLABUS


Welcome to an experiment in participatory storytelling. As I gear up for a course I'll be teaching at Columbia University, I've decided to open my teaching process. I've established this tumblr and will soon be joined by the class for what I hope will become an ongoing collection of thoughts, projects, tech and ideas as they pertain to storytelling in the 21st Century.

I'm hard at work on a trilogy of participatory storytelling projects with the first one entitled, Robot Heart Stories launching this fall. I wish to explore the realities of the connected world we live in and what that means for storytelling. I'm especially interested in the changing role of authorship and its impact on the birth of a collective narrative. In this spirit I'm bringing the class in to this tumblr to share all things story.

Finally this tumblr will also tie into a book I've been working on entitled Building Storyworlds: the art, craft & biz of storytelling in 21C. The book is the basis of the course at Columbia and is an experiment in scarcity vs. digital abundance.
