iPhone App Sites – Reviews, Price Charts and More
A few weeks ago my wife gave me an iTunes gift card and I went to town with the iTunes iPhone/iPod Touch app store. Even when I get a gift card, I try to stretch it out as much as possible by making purchases when items go on sale and by buying the best product [...]
Parenting Magazine’s 25 iPhone Apps For Kids
A couple of days ago, Parenting.com released an article listing 25 iPhone Apps for Kids. Most are paid-for apps, though some are free.
Although it’s understandable that they would make you sift through 25 pages to see the entire list, I found it quite annoying and took the liberty of constructing a simplified list below. Furthermore, [...]
Sour Apples
Eighteen months old. That’s the age of my wife’s laptop – the MacBook Pro that we were going to bring with us on vacation. Turns out the day before we leave, all video output ceases. Kaput.
Interestingly, one of the symptoms (we’ve been told) of this NVidia processor is the computer randomly shutting down. We had [...]
Resolutions
I was looking for the top three most used monitor resolutions – pixel width and height – for making desktop wallpapers in my flickr stream. It dawned on me that knowing the three most used pixel counts weren’t as important as moderately high resolution images in the correct format ratios.
Here are the top three as [...]
The Internet Paradox
The Internet is a paradox. All technology is, but to keep from generalized statements – the Internet is a paradox. I’ve been told that any element’s strength is also its weakness, so I’m prepared to look through this at both angles.
1. The internet draws the world closer together. I have a friend at work [...]
iPhone 3.0 Update Woes and Work Arounds
It shouldn’t take nearly 6 hours to update your iPhone to the 3.0 OS, but it did for me.
It started downloading the update and seemed to receive that just fine, and it claimed to have backed up my iPhone before installing the update, but somewhere in that mix the iPhone became completely deactivated and insisted [...]
Will Blog For Food
I love it when people blog and use the photography I post up on flickr. This has got to be one of the best uses of flickr around, and as long as people aren’t posting my silly mug up on posterboards or commercials without my consent I have practically no concern on the matter. [...]
Mainstream Media
Interesting how recent bipartisan attention about the lap-dog behavior of the mainstream media has recently erupted. In high school of all places, one of my instructors, quoting someone I can’t remember, stated that in the near future more people will realize that true news isn’t from newspapers, television, radio, books or schoolrooms. Instead, newsworthy truths [...]
Web 2.0 Culture and the Curse of the Turing Machine
Back at the beginning of 1995 I created a website named “Romantic Gestures”. The purpose was to draw people into a virtual community who wanted to share experiences and ideas with others about all things romantic. In that time I noticed that people are more open about giving personal details on the internet than they [...]
The iPhone Crowd
For the technophiles who understand the grunting undertones of the UK’s hit television series “The IT Crowd” and who also happen to understand the grunting undertones of the Tim Allenisms when it comes to modern technology (and who happen to be fortunate enough to own an iPhone) we have a special treat for you today!
The [...]
