One of the best things about having a blog is being able to throw something out into the ethosphere and encourage people to talk about it. The conversations I have here, with you, are some of my favorites. We both sit behind computer screens, but we're still talking. Sometimes we talk about super touchy feely stuff, like not being able to breastfeed your baby , and sometimes we talk about fun stuff, like what we did on our trip to Sicily , or how to create a beautiful table setting . Sometimes we talk about ice [...]

Major moves for Alicia Keys. The singer, songwriter has been hired as the new BlackBerry's Global Creative Director. The news was released by the BlackBerry's CEO Thorsten Heins, who asked her Wednesday (1/30/13), "You were hired... [[ This is a content summary only. Click on the titles for full stories... ]]

Did you hear the news? In a deliriously weird ceremony earlier today,  Alicia Keys   was named the Global Creative Director of BlackBerry , the mobile device of choice for Wall Street bankers and people who love having typos in their emails! For whatever reason, this struck a particular chord with the public, perhaps due to the unfortunate message of Keys, a once-enormous superstar whose successes have been perhaps humbler in recent years, partnering with a formerly ubiquitous tech brand whose relevance is dwindling to lead their creative direction (but about what, though?). It also [...]

As I write this, Kevin, Adam, Bla1ze, and Simon have either just arrived or en route to Toronto, which will be ground zero for CrackBerry HQ as we work up to the launch of BlackBerry 10.

Hello Toronto.... CrackBerry Kevin is in the city!  Eight days ago, from the show floor of CES in Las Vegas, I told CrackBerry Nation I was packing up my bags this week for a roadtrip to Toronto to setup our BlackBerry 10 Launch Campaign headquarters.

Earlier today I had mentioned how we've not seen anything of the BlackBerry 10 photo editor app since we initially posted it up many months ago. Now though, thanks to Gadget Masters, we've got a full on video showing the app in a more completed working state. As noted previously, the filters are akin to that of Instagram, Aviary and the like but are of course, baked right Read more [...]

For those of you (me included) who uses Tumblr was very sad to see that the Tumblr app was not available for BlackBerry 7 devices. The only thing we had available to us was web launchers that we had to pay $0.99 for. Even for the BlackBerry PlayBook there really weren’t much of any options either. The call was answered by Kisai Labs with Trapeez the Tumblr client you’ve been looking for. Read more [...]
