  • Om Malik compares the iPhone to the Kodak Brownie

    Om Malik: Prior to the Brownie, a photo trip to capture a far-flung environment was an expedition that often involved porters, mules, and explosions. The adventurous photographer would need to carry heavy gear, lots of toxic chemicals, and the patience to deal with an inexact process. Contrast that with the Brownie: a box measuring roughly…

  • Om Malik: Why bother with film?

    Om: One aspect of film that I have personally found appealing is the restrictions it imposes. Film photography is about constraints. It limits the frames at your disposal. It limits the capability of the sensor (aka the film.) And in most cases, it limits the choice of lens and equipment. Such constraints tend to ultimately…

  • Om Malik, on his photo journey

    Om: I find using a 24mm wide angle lens, a 90 mm medium telephoto, or a 280 mm tele lens akin to using saffron in my rice or black salt in my lentils – flavors that are beautiful in their restraint. I like reading his perspective on this. Less is definitely more. And constraints breed…

  • Om Malik on Google Photos vs Apple Photos

    I’ve finally found some time this morning to read Om Malik’s post on Google Photos vs Apple Photos – a post that has been sitting in my Unmark queue since the day he published it. Om Malik: The improvements in Google Photos and lack of magic in Apple Photos sometimes make me wonder if I…

  • Om Malik interviews Kickstarter founder Perry Chen

    Om Malik sat down with Perry Chen for a really great and in-depth interview about the success of Kickstarter. I think, we’re able to offer people the ability to overcome that one core roadblock — the funding — and then additionally allow people to build this community and nurture an audience around a project. I…

  • Om Malik on the tech start-up scene in Berlin

    Om Malik on the tech start-up scene in Berlin: The lack of classical German industries means it is a city with fewer jobs than other parts of Germany. It also means the city has lower wages compared to the rest of Germany and much of Europe. The sprawling nature of the city means that Berlin…

  • Om on the blogging challenge so far

    Om Malik: The blogging challenge, however has brought a rigor and discipline that was missing for most of the year. Almost three weeks into the challenge, I feel like a slugger in the middle of slump who is finally starting to recover his swing — connecting, but still missing the power. The desire to blog…

  • Om on writing

    Happy Anniversary (sort of) to Om Malik of Gigaom for a decade of blogging. I haven’t shared much about Om on this blog save this experience from Wordcamp 2007 in San Francisco when I wasn’t feeling very well at all (travel often makes me sick). When lunch break hit, I was hurting pretty badly. So…

  • Glass observations

    Glass, a new photo sharing app, has been making the rounds this week since it launched to the public, via an invite only roll out, and has had a fair bit of press and photographer fain fare. I gave away a few invites myself. First, a bit of background material you may want to peruse…

  • Dean Allen

    I did not know Dean Allen. But you couldn’t have been a blogger in the early 2000s without coming across, and admiring and swooning over, Textism – Dean’s blog. I was no exception. In fact, I was still subscribed to Textism’s RSS feed until I heard the news. Likely a 15 or so year old…

  • More about Paperholm

    Om Malik did a short email interview with Charles Young of Paperholm; which I linked to just a day or so ago.

  • Instagram hits 300M, gives 5 new filters, then deletes millions of accounts. All on purpose.

    This is just me shooting from the hip here, but follow me through the last few days of Instagram news to see if, perhaps, they might have done all of this on purpose. On December 10th Instagram announces they hit 300M accounts and also said this: We’ve been deactivating spammy accounts from Instagram on an…

  • The first month of Things I Saw This Week, the magazine, and onto Year 1.

    Four weeks ago I decided to follow in Om Malik and Heather Armstrong’s shoes and create a digest of some of the more interesting things I saw throughout the week. After four consecutive weeks of creating these posts, and really having a great time putting them together, I plan to complete as least 52 of…

  • WordPress turns 10

    I remember the first time I ran WordPress on my local computer. It was amazing. Within a few moments I was up and running with just a bit of PHP that could power hundreds of blog posts. Before I was using b2 (the name WordPress sort of had before that project became WordPress) I was copying and pasting HTML…

  • A different perspective on Digg

    Om Malik has a different way to look at the success and failure of Digg: If the yardstick of success is making money for the founders, employees and the investors, then Digg will go down in the annals of web history as a colossal failure. However, if your yardstick of success is defined by a…

  • Is Surface Microsoft’s next chapter?

    Yesterday I wrote: I think Microsoft should focus and invest in making this their flagship product… Joshua Topolsky of The Verge on Microsoft’s "shift" with the Surface: That’s a big shift, and it’s an important one. The announcement of the Surface shows that Microsoft is ready to make a break with its history — a history of…

  • WordCamp 2007 – Day one

    The first day of WordCamp 2007 sucked. But only for me. I ended up getting really, really sick in the early afternoon and had to go back to where I am staying for rest. What started out as a headache earlier in the day quickly progressed into just feeling horrible! Fantastic weather! However, the entire…
