Test post from iPhone

July 24, 2008

The WordPress client for the iPhone is pretty cool. It will let you insert pictures or take one with the camera. Not bad for a 1.0 product.


What a sad life

July 15, 2008

I checked three stores in Georgia and felt like a loser.

As of 6:00 a.m. EDT Tuesday, all three models (8GB black, 16 GB black or white) of the hot-selling device were sold out in 21 states, according to Jim Neal, a retired PR man living near Kansas City who took the time to check each of Apple’s 188 U.S. retail stores using the company’s iPhone availability widget.

The 10 Most Stubborn People in Tech – Switched

July 15, 2008

Inspiration for a good business idea can strike anytime, but only a lucky few will ever see their brainchild become a smashing success. Even fewer have the guts to hold on to their idea in the face of skepticism and adversity while resisting change from outside forces. We took a closer look at some of the most successful tech businesses, and the figures behind them, that have stayed true to their original goals or persevered when it looked like they would fail. You’ll either be motivated to pursue your own ideas or curse these guys for making it seem so easy.

Got the Apple Remote app to work

July 14, 2008

I spent a little time getting the new Apple WiFi remote app working from my iPod touch. I can now wander around the house and control my Mac and AppleTV via the iPod.

My favorite feature: changing the AirTunes speaker from computer to AppleTV and vice-versa. Basically, I was listening to some stuff across the room from my computer. I switched speakers, walked downstairs, and didn’t miss a beat. Ready to go back upstairs? No problem, just switch it back. That’s just flippin’ sweet.

Soaked

July 12, 2008

My BlackBerry and camera got soaked in a downpour on the beach today. Additionally, the Blue Angels show got cancelled. At least we didn’t get hit by lightning like some other unfortunate people.

Jay-Z doing a really bad cover of Wonderwall

And when I say “really bad”, I mean “really bad”. I just had a dilemma. Do I put this under funny or entertainment? It really isn’t either.
