iPhone development or Web App? Which to choose?
I recently started reading a great book, Predictably Irrational, by Dan Ariely. In it, he describes some psychological reasoning behind why people don't seem to behave as they think they would. For example, what marketing people do to make products seem more appealing or trustworthy. I won't say much more, except to read it! Oh, and that I took some advice from the book. Chapter 8 (Keeping Doors Open: Why Options Distract Us from Our Main Objective) talks about the effects on a person when they keep their options open, and how that can actually detract from their ability to complete a task, or make good choices. For the past three years, I have been planning this web project but also many other tasks simultaneously. Trying to do so many things at once makes it impossible to finish anything at all. And, new and interesting concepts and ideas are always appearing. So, in order to avoid the cycle of FAIL, I'm halting all other projects until I have something to show for my first post-graduate idea. Then, I may reconsider getting back to the other things. As such, this site won't be getting any significant updates besides chronicling my progress. Maybe once it's done, I will re-design the site using my own template(s).
