My New iPhone 3G

I decided to go with direct fulfillment in order to get my grubby hands on one of the new iPhones. The past Monday I finally got the call from my local AT&T store. My iPhone 3G had arrived! First, it does look a bit sleeker than the old iPhone but...

iPhone 3G Direct Fulfillment

I didn't feel like going to the local AT&T each day in the hopes that I'd get lucky and find the 16Gb black iPhone that I want, so I decided to go ahead and do the "direct fulfillment" option. The nice folks at the store told me it would be 10 to 21...

Mail.appetizer has been around for some time, and I find it to be invaluable for dealing with email more efficiently. How many times have you been working in another application only to see the little red indicator show up on the Mail.app icon? In order...

iPhone 3G Madness

I went to my local AT&T store this morning to pick up a new iPhone. I figured there would be at most 10 or 15 people there waiting to get in at 8 AM. I mean - I live in a small town of around 70,000 people. I had seen the lines on the news in New York...

Matt Jones was arrested early this morning in Fayetteville, AR. He has been charged with possession of cocaine after police officers approached a vehicle to find Jones inside cutting up what appeared to be cocaine with a credit card.  Jones later...

It appears version 7.7 of iTunes is available today although it wouldn't find it when I told iTunes to "Check for updates".  I had to go here and download it.  The iPhone Application Store is also available in the new iTunes, but it isn't apparent when...

One of the guys at work found this nifty little Firefox extension called Dust-Me. It will analyze the CSS for a page and tell you what selectors are not being used. Everyone gets bloated CSS from time to time as you build and perform ongoing development...
