Gizmodo accuses Trent Reznor of “…going all TUAW’ in his recent anti-App Store post.

I assume “Going all TUAW” means following an emotional, knee-jerk rant with rational thought and careful attention. Of course, I’m not mature enough to kill someone’s display during a presentation at CES, so what do I know?

I love Gas Cubby from App Cubby (it’s among the top apps on my iPhone), and was lucky enough to spend last week with a preview of version 2.0, which I reviewed for TUAW. Check it out.

For more on Gas Cubby, check out my supplemental post.

Nick Summers of Newsweek.com contacted yours truly for a response to a post I wrote for TUAW this afernoon, questioning my subscription to MobileMe. Here’s a part of my response:

“It’s easy to see why you’d dismiss the service outright when a fanboy like me starts complaining. The truth is, I don’t outright dislike MobileMe. Instead, I’m disappointed that it’s not what it could be.”

From Copyblogger

“So many bloggers quit writing because their topic ceases to inspire them. They think the only way to keep going is to start a new blog on a new topic and reach for new inspiration … Most beginning bloggers have it backwards. They think the topic is supposed to inspire them, when really, they are supposed to inspire the topic.

You have to write from the inside out.”

Amen, brother. Writing about Apple every day can seem repetitive, if I let it. The post I wrote about Keynote ’09 was so much fun because I first said to myself, “You’re allowed to be funny. You needn’t focus on the same points that every other product review points out. You’re writing for fun, so have fun.”

It works.

A few years ago, I lusted after a 3Com Audrey. I finally found one on eBay for $10 and picked it up. It’s definitely fun, but not the kitchen-based internet appliance I want. And I do want one.

So, what would such a beast look like, and should Apple build it? I’ve explored the idea at TUAW. Feel free to disagree.

We’re looking for a few bloggers at TUAW. Are you interested? Get the details here.
