So I had an “ah uh” moment last month when our copywriter at work reminded me of a little secret most folks don’t know. Macs can talk, or rather read typed text. I asked him to proofread some material that I had written and he asked me “Did you get your Mac to read it [...]

This is the third time that I have paid for parking via the telephone pay parking system run by Verrus and have been handed a ticket for what was called a “parking violation”. In the past I had called and tried to get the violations cancelled. This has been futile on both attempts due to [...]

So I hear that the Fifa folks might just silence the Vuvuzela at the World Cup in South Africa! Well I thought that I would give the fans a little Vuvuzela “to go” and provide them with both iPhone and MP3 versions of the Vuvuzela in full swing. Enjoy and let me know what you [...]

I just discovered this little camera app that has really been designed to be fun to use. There are quite a few iPhone camera apps that either emulate old film grains/formats and vintage or Lomo looks written already. Most come up short for one reason or another. The Hipstamatic [iTunes link $1.99] takes the vintage [...]

I downloaded the much hyped version of Photoshop for the iPhone today and wow what a disappointment. The number one photo manipulation software in in the world for desktops and they produce a hobbled app that is not worth the price of free.

Well as some of you know I take a lot of shots with my iPhone. I like to use my iPhone because it’s always with me. The standard iPhone shots suck pretty bad and I have written in the past on what basic apps and techniques will help improve the overall quality. The latest in [...]

For all of those folks that are used to Blackberry and Nokia providing the convex mirrors on their handsets for self portraits. I know that you are wondering why Apple did not include one. Well they did. Just line yourself up in the shiny Apple logo and you are good as gold, or silver in [...]

Noah gets a Wee Wii from JP Holecka on Vimeo. This was my son’s reaction to receiving the Nintendo Wii for his birthday last year. Not much more I can add to this!

I started the morning by putting the rest of the bacon from ’09 out of it’s misery in a bacon and egg sandwich and then decided to work out on the Wii Fit. I had to do it as it was sitting in the fridge yelling “Eat me” every time I went in for something healthy. With that out of the [...]
