July 24th, 2008 ·

+
.
For WordPress bloggers with iPhones, the iPhone WordPress application is close to the best gift since receiving a Nintendo Entertainment System for Christmas in 1983. The application is solid, allows tags and categories, posts pictures direct from the phone, etc. Awesome!

N82 for my broadcasts - iPhone 3G for everything else

July 10th, 2008 ·


I picked up the Nokia N82 yesterday from Import GSM, a great hybrid brick-and-mortage / online store. Think Dynamism for phones. It was my first visit, right at closing, and despite trying to get stuff out the door for the evening shipment the guys helped out with descriptions and subtle nuances between the [...]

How to post images to Twitter and Flickr at the same time from an iPhone

April 6th, 2008 ·

How to is after the jump…

March 28th, 2008 ·

 
Took this quick snap of CNN’s bus in front of the Philadelphia Art Musuem. With Obama and Clinton bringing attention to our state we’re seeing more and more news organizations around.

Installing tile - real developers do it themselves

March 23rd, 2008 ·

This weekend my wife and I got an early start Friday to finish off our bathroom’s tile. I’ve been photo-blogging it to Flickr and periodically putting up notes on Twitter. The last couple weekends have been similar, doing plumbing, floor tile, prep work, etc.
