D23 Expo 2013: Broadway and Beyond
A fun evening took place in Stage 23 last evening as Disney Theatrical Productions put on a special one-time showing, “Broadway and Beyond”, featuring musical selections from many current, previous, and even future Broadway productions. The show opened with a selection of songs from Beauty and the Beast — appropriate since that show was Disney’s…

D23 Expo: Sorcerer Swag
Today we checked in for our “Sorcerer Day” at the D23 Expo and picked up our “swag bag”, the goodies provided by various divisions of the Disney company for the Sorcerer attendees. I know this was one of the things I was very curious about coming in, and I imagine others may also be wondering…

D23 Expo Preview: Panels and Performances
Really tough choices in picking what to see and do at the D23 Expo. To some degree, I’m being guided this year by what things blew me away in 2011. So the Legends ceremony in 2011 was incredible, and as a result I’m planning to do Legends this year even though it’s got some tough…

I love it when a plan comes together
Sometimes the stars align just so, and something magical happens. This may just be one of those times in my life. Almost a year ago, tickets went on sale for the 2013 D23 Expo. Since I’m planning on writing a lot more about the Expo over the next 3 weeks, I won’t go into anything…

An app is born
In previous posts I’ve described my desire to do an iPhone app, and finally finding what seemed to be a worthwhile project. All that was left was to take the idea and see how well I could translate it into an app. I started writing code in mid-January. Sometime in late February the name came…

Finding Inspiration
In my last post, I talked about the Baseball Scorecard app that never made it to launch. That was in 2009, and ever since then, I’ve had it in the back of my mind that doing an iPhone app was going to happen — I just needed to find the right project. Maybe “in the…

If at first you don’t succeed
In my previous post I mentioned that I wanted to give a bit of the story of developing The Sorcerer’s Apprentice iPhone application. But The Sorcerer’s App was not my first crack at writing an iPhone app. Before we get to the new app, let’s turn the wayback machine to 2009. The App Store was…
