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.…

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…

Apple iPhone vs. Nokia N82, or complimentary citizens

That’s it! Twice in a week I’ve been left with a dead iPhone from snapping pics and pushing them live at an event or outing. Don’t get me wrong; I love the iPhone for most everything, but the lack…

To date I have tried three services. Twitxr, TwitPic, and now SnapTweet

SnapTweet Logo

The exploring of Twitter integrated photo services continues… Today’s post is on SnapTweet, a service working towards announcing Flickr image uploads via Twitter updates.

How to is after the jump

 CNN bus with manure

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.

That’s all boring stuff… What is funny is there is a huge, stinking, pile of manure right at the rear end of the…

iPhotoI’ve finally made the leap away from being a directory-o-holic and landed in iPhoto from iLife 08. It does the organization automatically (“Browse Package Contents” in Finder.)

Flickr is working well as a good photo stream and album holder (using the Sets feature.) It works as a free backup service too ($25 per…
