Since everyone is doing it, I thought I should do the same although I have a hard time putting them in some kind of order…so they aren’t! Here is my list of the random things from last year that stood out to me in no particular order: my iPhone – in case you haven’t noticed,…
This is REALLY cool. Take your iPhone and hold it up to a speaker/radio/etc playing nearly any song and run Erica Sudun’s insane new app, Listen. It will ‘sample’ whatever is near the iPhone’s microphone and after a couple of seconds will display the song, artist and album of whatever it heard. I’ve had about…
…using a StealthSIM: A friend purchased an iPhone as a Christmas present for someone but since it was the 1.1.2 version firmware (purchased from an Apple store in early December), it couldn’t be unlocked via (currently available) software methods. So that someone got a really nice iPod under the tree. It was decided shortly after…
This has been around for awhile but figured it was a good idea to mention since a few friends have joined the TiVo ranks lately now that you can actually buy the units in Canada. You can easily check out your favorite podcasts on your TiVo simply by adding it’s feed url to the Podcaster…
Gearlive.com as posted a video of the features of the upcoming firmware for the iPhone. Seems pretty legit to me and consistent with the rumored features. Some of the key features include: SMS to multiple recipients Google Maps upgraded to include hybrid view and cell tower triangulation to give you a sort-of GPS as well…
There is an amazing new Slot Machine game called iSlots on Installer right now: It even maintains your bank between plays and has sound effects of the reels going.
I love the track feature of Twitter. Because of it, I found this video of how to load a Holga. I simply sent ‘track holga’ to Twitter and it lets me know when anyone talks about holgas. Found via @spenceke on Twitter who linked to this page in a tweet. That site also has lots…
I think I have a problem. Is it weird for a guy to like gadget bags? I think I have a bag/pouch/container for just about everything gadget I own. I guess I like to protect my stuff. I especially like Crumpler bags. The latest one I bought a few months back was the Crumpler Keystone…
After picking up a new ginormous hard drive on boxing day (think Black Friday in the US, only much lamer), I went about adding it to my Powermac G5 tower (aka my server). For some reason, Apple always does things different than other computer manufacturers and the process of upgrading the hard drive is no…
Just finished scanning the results of the first roll of film I put through the new Holga camera I recently picked up. I was pretty convinced that I had either loaded the film incorrectly or that I didn’t handle it properly and all the shots I took would be exposed. Unlike 35mm film, medium-format film…
