My Tech Talk this morning, “40 Tips in 40 Minutes” with David Sparks and Merlin Mann went really well, I think. I had fun doing it, anyway.

Yesterday’s news of Steve Jobs’ resignation was sad for me. My concern is not for Apple; Apple is a vibrant community of designers and developers and Tim Cook will be excellent at the helm.
