Good iPhone Car Charger with Line out?

July 13, 2008

Here’s what I want…

A decent iPhone car charger that charges and does line out via the dock connector that works when the iPhone has a case on (i.e. just use a simple dock connector). Nothing fancy. No crappy FM radio transmitters, just a simple quality audio out with power. Why is that so hard to provide?

Come on Griffin, Belkin, Monster, etc. Get your act together and develop a quality product…


iPod Touch playing Quake 3 over the network

April 5, 2008

This looks rather cool. I want to see how well the accelerometer works for playing games as I just can’t tell from the video clips as to how it would feel. Now the question is will anyone be able to get this built solidly and submitted via the iTunes App Store…

Dinner tonight at Sweet Tomatoes…Ben loves his Jello ;)


Can’t get it out of my head

July 21, 2007

I am wandering B.J.s with the song “Jinglebell Rock” stuck in my head. I keep humming it and I don’t know why. To make things worse … I can’t stop!


Just got out of Harry Potter OOTP

July 14, 2007

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It was appropriately dark matching the book’s tone. I need to think about a rating, but I am leaning toward 4 out of 5 stars.

I saw this nice standup for the Simpsons and figured I would have to grab a shot. Oh well, I’m off to see Ratatouille as well. It has been years since I did a double feature.


SMS works too!

July 11, 2007

So, very cool, I can go either direction (cheap ($0.25 per MMS) or cheaper ($0.10 per SMS)) depending on my needs (text or text+image). Alternatively, if I do this a good bit, buying the $5 per month plan sounds like a good direction.


Testing Mobile Blogger

July 11, 2007

So, I figured I would test out the mobile features of blogger to go (Mobile Blogger). Seems to work rather well, and isn’t too pricey to do each month. Maybe I should send to Blogger & Flickr on the same message…

mmmmm…always-on connectivity…

By the by, I snapped this photo outside of Target after picking up a Mega Bloks Mega Fire Truck for Ben. I thought the sky with rainbow had a nice texture to it.

Here is Ben’s new toy…


Mac Rumors: iPhone 4GB and 8GB, Coming in January?

December 3, 2006

Mac Rumors: iPhone 4GB and 8GB, Coming in January?

Here are some of the rumors Kevin Rose lays out:

- Going to be coming out in January
- All phone providers
- “It’s small as sh*t”
- Don’t know anything about the Operating System
- The OS is supposed to be “cool”
- Doing some unique things
- Two batteries, one charger. One for MP3 portion and one for Phone.
- 4GB ($249) and 8GB ($449)
- Flash memory, Slide out keyboard
- Maybe touch screen?

I am hopeful and this might be enough for me to stop using my Windows-based smart phone for work. We’ll see, but I love the idea of an iPod and mobile phone together…


Egads! Bill like M$ ?!?!

October 30, 2006

Normally, I am fairly negative on the quality of Microsoft products. MS Excel is still one of the few apps that I felt they did right. However, I have been using a Windows Mobile device for work, the Cingular 8125, and it is quite useful. It is a joy to use and when paired with software like Good Link, it is exceptional for checking e-mail, calendar, etc.

I was just reading this nice sneak peek of the next generation of Windows Mobile smartphones and the do look pretty snazzy.

I have cheered for Palm in the past, but IMHO, they seem to have fallen by the wayside and stopped innovating. Until Apple releases a PDA/Phone/iPod, Microsoft will do just fine ;)
