Video: Inside Delicious Generation

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (RSS feed) on Jun 18th, 2007


Here's a distillation of demos seen at Delicious Generation. This time we're trying something a little different and using Viddler, a service that will reportedly allow you to interactively bash the quality of the video as it plays (no need to mention the interlacing, we see it). Oh, you can leave constructive, useful comments inline as well. So if you're a developer and you'd like to explain what we're seeing, that's good, because the mic at the party wasn't really getting audio past the crowd noise.

A bird's-eye view of the Apple Bash in SF

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (RSS feed) on Jun 14th, 2007


Click To Play


Right now I can hear the band (I'm musically ignorant, so if you know who these kids are, leave it in the comments) playing, so thought I'd share what I can see from the hotel room. Just a taste of what the real attendees are enjoying at 8pm PST...

(sorry about the angles, lighting, sound, production values, set decoration and editing-- this is just for fun!)

TUAW at House of Shields tonight

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (RSS feed) on Jun 11th, 2007

The party starts tonight at 8pm at House of Shields! Apparently we're just a couple of blocks away from the Webkit party (bet they will certainly get a turnout now, huh?) and Buzz Andersen's 4th annual WWDC bash. So let's just take over this part of the city, shall we?

House of Shields is at 39 New Montgomery Street. We'll begin the party around 8pm, and start handing out prizes a couple of hours later. Prizes? You mean beyond just t-shirts? As in, possible collectibles? Why yes, thanks for asking. Everyone loves a mystery prize.

WWDC Party: The Delicious Generation

by Dan Lurie (RSS feed) on Jun 8th, 2007

Those crazy kids behind MacHeist and My Dream App are at it again, this time bringing you a night of drinks, demos, and developers. The Delicious Generation party will feature live demos of upcoming software from prominent Mac developers including Austin Sarner of AppZapper and the Pixelmator team. Mac Media and Developers get in for free, and a select few of us unwashed masses will be admitted to mingle amongst the Mac digerati. For those who don't make it in, there will be a live screencast of the demos, as well as archives of the video for those of you who have more important things to do on the night of the 13th.

Scott and Victor will be there representing TUAW, and maybe even giving away some schwag. Party on!

Party with TUAW at WWDC

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (RSS feed) on Jun 6th, 2007

Monday, June 11 is going to be a big day. Oh sure, Jobs and Co. are going to lay some heavy fun stuff on us in the morning. And that afternoon the blogosphere will implode, and Engadget will liveblog the whole thing. But the night will host the very first second official TUAW meetup.

What better place to mull the latest iPhone announcements, or chuckle over the Finders-of-yon than San Francisco's own House of Shields? I hear tell Merlin Mann has made an appearance at the venerable watering hole, so who knows what other Mac masters might appear? *(Please note, I've no idea if Merlin will even be on the West Coast next week.) Anyway, House of Shields is about five minutes from the Moscone, so we're hoping no one is troubled by travel issues.

You can see an invite of sorts over here on Upcoming. Since the place is pretty much a bar, I'm thinking you'll have to be 21 to attend, sorry folks (consolation prize info coming tomorrow). The party starts at 8pm, and we've got a few drink tickets for the imbibing. Giveaways start at 10pm. We hunt Zunes for sport at midnight.

Macworld 2007 party roundup for Wednesday, January 10th

by David Chartier (RSS feed) on Jan 10th, 2007

Macworld certainly isn't all work and no play, so I thought it would be handy to round up any parties and gatherings that are happening *off* the Macworld Expo grounds. For simplicity, I checked Upcoming's Macworld tag, though we have heard of at least one other non-listed event (and I would bet there are plenty more). If you have a gathering going on this week, let us know at tuaw.com/tips (use relevant subjects like: "Party at Macworld Wednesday!" and "Party at Macworld Thursday!" etc.) and we'll include them in our daily roundups, updating as we receive new tips through the day. For now, here is a list of Wednesday's gatherings:

djay - a "groundbreaking" audio application

by David Chartier (RSS feed) on Aug 20th, 2006


djay, as you can see, is a "groundbreaking" new audio app that offers a slew DJ-oriented features to get your party started, including:
  • Real-time audio mix transmission over Bonjour network
  • Real-time audio mix recording
  • iTunes Integration
  • Automatic artwork image loading on both turntables
  • Time-Stretching
  • Pitch-Shifting with amazing blend effect
  • Audio Unit Effects Support
  • Pre-Cueing (requires multichannel sound card)
  • Crossfade automation
  • Magnetic tempo slider for precise beat matching
  • GarageBand instruments integration via network
  • AppleScriptability for mixing automation
and a whole lot more. Seriously, I had to whittle out quite a bit from djay's feature list just to fit these key points into the post. I'm not a DJ myself, but checking this out sure makes me wish I was.

All these features come in (what looks like) a slick package for the low, low price of $0; in fact, I can't even find a donation link at the product's site, algoriddim.net (clever). If any more DJ-capable TUAW readers check this out, please share a few words of your wisdom with the rest of the class.

Drinktrain

by Dan Lurie (RSS feed) on Jun 10th, 2006

Drink TrainWhat better way for a group of tireless Apple code monkeys to relax after a week of hard work than to get smashed on the train ride home? According Drinktrain, not much. Thus, a tradition consisting of just that seems to have emerged from within Cupertino. Most Friday evenings, the last car on the CalTrain from Mountain View to San Francisco can be found chock full of inebriated Apple employees partying it up to such themes as: Chuck Norris Train, Snakes on a Mothaf*ckin Train, and my personal favorite; Mac OS X Pirate Localization Train.

According to our anonymous source, Drinktrain participants get away with their shenanigans due to the fact that there is no open-container law that applies to CalTrain vehicles. By far the juiciest tid-bit of information in the official wiki is the fact that Drinktrain is continuously looking for new blood, even if it comes from those who don't work at the shiny white mother-ship. Who's up for some locomotive lunacy!?

Chili Pepper listening parties to be held at Apple Stores

by David Chartier (RSS feed) on Apr 26th, 2006

It's great to see that when the Peppers (finally) decide to commit to something, they really dive in: iLounge is reporting that on May 2nd at 6:30 pm local time, Apple Stores in the U.S., Canada and UK will hold listening parties for the band's new album, Stadium Arcadium, set to land on May 9th. The stores will play all 28 songs from the new album and will be giving away a limited number of iTunes cards so fans can download the new single, "Dani California" (iTMS link). Let's also not forget that pre-ordering the new album enters you into a contest for a logo-engraved, 60 GB Chili Peppers iPod, and gives you access to a Ticketmaster pre-sale for the band's North American tour.
