Looks like Dell went over big in Copenhagen…and not in a good way.

Just read this.

Hard to believe that a company with the breadth of Dell would hire someone that represents them this way. Also harh to believe that Mads Christensen got this gig. Talk about a screw-up.

Twitter blew up over it. Do a search of ‘Dell Mads Christensen’.

Perhaps their PR folks should swing into action.

Nice article about the 351 Cleveland

Written by George Pence. See here.

The opening paragraph sums up things nicely:

The result of an aggressive design program, the 335 series motors were capable of making more horsepower per cubic inch, naturally aspirated, using gasoline fuel, than any other mass produced OHV motor ever made. It represents the culmination of all the motor savvy Ford engineering had accumulated during the Total Performance era.

Carroll Shelby moves on

Lost a legend. Let’s hope he’s somewhere else building fantastic cars.

Carroll Hall Shelby, the Texan who created the famous Shelby Cobra and uncounted other high-performance machines that turned the auto world on its ear, and made it a whole lot more fun for 50 years, died in Dallas Thursday night at age 89. He had been hospitalized for pneumonia.

Demo work on the new house

Did some demo work on the house tonight. Opening up the kitchen to the dining room and removing the pantry (there’s another just around the corner).

Next step is to remove the 2×4′s.

Adobe DPS and build 20

The build 20 feature set here.

Lots of good stuff but in particular these two:

iPhone support DPS now supports the iPhone 3GS, 4, and 4S (the iPhone 3G is not supported). When you use the Viewer Builder, you can create a custom viewer that works for the iPhone, the iPad, or both. When you create an app for both the iPad and iPhone, your customers are entitled to purchased folios on any supported iOS device. The iPhone viewer includes a new settings page, enhanced browse mode, and welcome screen that publishers can control. Social sharing, bookmarks, and auto archiving are not yet supported for the iPhone. At this time, you cannot create a single-issue viewer app for the iPhone. See Creating content for the iPhone.

Web viewer for social sharing If you enable social sharing in your app, representations of folio articles are uploaded to a web server for viewing in desktop browsers. Use the Protected setting in the Folio Producer Editor to determine which articles are available for desktop viewing. Use the Account Administration tool to limit the number of viewable unprotected articles and to set up a paywall. See Using social media.
