I Twittered this yesterday but forgot to write a blog entry, so here goes… A while back, in fact, not too long after I first saw the initial episode of Dr. Horrible, I ran across links to someone who had crafted together a copy of the van remote iPhone “app” he used. While it looks … Continue reading Dr. Horrible’s van remote

What’s on *your* iPhone?
This is for the benefit of friends with iPhones–to get a feel for what sorts of applications I have installed and how I go about organizing them. Page 1 These are the applications I use all the time and always want handy. They include: PCalc – A nice engineering and programmer’s calculator. When the phone … Continue reading What’s on *your* iPhone?
iPhone location issues no longer an issue
Just to circle back to my post about field-testing the iPhone in Seattle last weekend, it looks like my issues with the location-based services not functioning correctly were Seattle-specific. Everything works as expected here in Portland. I might be pissed if I lived in Seattle or traveled there more (I don’t know if it’s just … Continue reading iPhone location issues no longer an issue
iPhone Geocaching
Something I wanted to mark for future reference (with “future” perhaps being as soon as this weekend): iPhone 101: Geocaching with an iPhone 3G. Be sure to read the comments for a few extra tips that the article missed (for example, you don’t have to manually type in the lat/lon into your phone, the “For … Continue reading iPhone Geocaching
Non-ARG, Bellydance Weekend!
As I’ve lamented in various other places, this weekend was not ARGfest for me (despite conflicting photographic “evidence”.) In fact, until recently, I was expecting to follow it from home and help out where I could with FestQuest puzzles and/or other tasks that might pop up. Unfortunately, Kim’s help at her event this previous weekend … Continue reading Non-ARG, Bellydance Weekend!

iPhone: Day 2
iPhone: Day 2 Good news: this incarnation of the iPhone doesn’t have the angry-bees GSM bzzt-bzzt-bzbzbzbzzt in my car stereo that the previous model of iPhone had. I can actually listen to it in the car without having to flip it in and out of airplane mode! Bad news: my car charger (which I rarely … Continue reading iPhone: Day 2
i has a iPhone
Yesterday, I bussed it down to Pioneer Square and consulted multiple kiosks to locate the Apple Store. I tend to dislike malls and typically frequent the Apple Store near work, so I was unfamiliar with the territory. The line was not zero-length, but also not terribly long-looking, so I queued up for a new phone. … Continue reading i has a iPhone
OS X VPN?
Does anyone have a good resource (I’ve seen several bad ones, but not a great reference) that explains how to set up a free L2TP/PPTP VPN on a consumer-level OS X workstation? I’m not talking OS X server, because that ships with server out of the box with a nice GUI configuration tool. OS X … Continue reading OS X VPN?
