I have always been a bit turned on by space.  I remember, as a kid, watching the space shuttle launches.  I have also seen all of the major tragedies of the space shuttles.  I have even cheered on the little Mars Rovers that could as they went on for months and years […]

So, picture twitter in your mind - now replace every little micro-blog with a photo.  Does that sound interesting.  I didn’t think so either, but I tried iTookThisToday out anyways.  It is much more intriguing than I originally expected.
It is almost like a photo-twitter, and it meets some sort of sordid voyeuristic […]

That’s some good vocabulary isn’t it?  You can tell that I am a professional writer.  Either that, your you can tell I have a good dictionary.  To be honest, the later is true.  But, after reading today’s Web Application review, you can use big words to.
Today’s web application I would recommend is Elegant Words: The […]

Web App Wednesday - Stripr On Your iPhone

Posted by iphonefan

June 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Now don’t get to excited, I wrote Stripr, not Stripper - there is a difference; this isn’t that kind of web app and this isn’t that kind of website.
What Stripr can do is present various comics (and other RSS feeds and webistes) in a well formated, straight-forward, and iPhone friendly layout. Stripr is geared, as […]

I am not a “gamer” per se.  I do enjoy a bit of mindless distraction now and then however.  It is for that reason that the iPhone is a great gaming device for me.  Technically, that makes me a casual gamer, and this weeks Web App, Gravity Swarm, is a great casual game.

Do you use Google Reader?  I do; I use it on my desktop daily - even hourly.  It has become my preferred way to keep up on my blogs and news.  I haven’t ever really given it much of a chance on the iPhone - until now.
