The Log

To quote myself from the Fusion blog earlier, “Things have been quiet around here”. And it’s true. Time for writing as been in very short supply. That’s partially due to ownership changes with Fusion — those changes have allowed me to participate in design projects for various clients. Which is a dream come true.

We’ve also had some really fun internal projects taking up our time. And today I’m happy to announce the first: the Fusion Holiday Bundle. It’s been a lot of work, but also a lot fun. It’s the first time I’ve been involved in a promotion of this type and we’re super stoked about it. Working with a couple of wizards like Noah Stokes and Garrett St John makes a project like this a blast, as well as a success.

The whole bundle concept has really taken off the past few years. But I feel that apart from the rare exception, most have one or two apps that pull in the customers and the rest are filler apps that you end up deleting at some point. We really wanted to improve on that, while at the same time targeting the community we love.

And we hope we’ve done that. If you design or develop, or hope to in the future, this bundle of goodness is for you. Check it out.

Daniel Jalkut ponders some scary questions while detailing Apple’s recent abandonment of their downloads page:

Does Apple plan to introduce a new App Store for “authorized” Mac apps? Are they simply disinterested in the Mac since the iPod, iPhone, and iPad have taken one such an important role in their public relations? These are some of the questions that run through the minds of Mac developers as we try to interpret meaning from the unexplained actions.

This page is a listing for Mac software only, obviously. All iPad and iPhone software is listed in the app store. Will the desktop follow?

For this user, that’s the scariest question of all.
