First new entry: Clippy Clippy was first sold as a ‘kinda’ cut and paste system. And ‘kinda’ is about as… Read More
How to take better photos on the iphone with clearCam Normally I do not write about an app more then once, typically I would just update the original post, ( I know, bad practice ), however in this case, I wanted to write about this again because of how impressed I am with this little app. ClearCam, the original post here, is a program that… Read More
Insert text, whole words and phrases, cut and paste on the iphone. Re review of Clippy. When I first wrote about Clippy, I liked it but I thought it’s usefulness was somewhat limited. However, its been improving bit by bit over time. Something they added a while back is a feature called the ‘Clipboard Stack’. It did not hit me right off, but one night I was filling out my login… Read More
Improved iphone photos with clearcam.. and yea, it works We all know that the camera on the iphone is about as poor as it gets. Basically its the same thing I had in my treo600/650. I’ve learn to accept this and move on with life. Well, seems like someone was not willing to take this laying down and did something about it. In comes… Read More
GolfTraxx… Not as FAIL as the first time… So, semi FAIL So I went golfing a few days back and decided to give GolfTraxx another go. If you remember my first report on it.. beware of rant.. I was not impressed. So this time I tried it at another course in Sacramento and it seemed to work on some holes, not on others. The only thing… Read More

Twitter apps for the iphone via Gizmodo This is a pretty good post, matt buchanan put a list of twitter apps for the iphone together with screenshots and grades. Now I’m using Twinkle myself where before I was using twitterific, but fount twitterific buggy. Matt has Tweetie as the best overall, but eh, I dont know, seems to much kitchen sink to… Read More
Cut and Paste on the iphone gets one step closer with Clippy I say one step closer because Clippy (a jailbreak app) is still not the full deal. What clippy will do is keep a string (string= series of alphanumerics) in memory so that you can paste that string into another applications. There are even limits here, conflicts with intelliscreen, etc.. Still, I like where it’s going,… Read More
USTREAM to provide broadcast video on a non jailbroken iphone? Well, according to techcrunch they are, at least that is the implication in the article. As you all know, we already have a number of video options for the iphone ONLY if its jailbroken. Stories here.. What I do not understand is; where in the article do we see anything that points to USTREAM getting… Read More

Review of SaveMyDocs.. Fail Bummer, I have not reviewed an app for awhile, mostly because I’ve been very busy with twittfilter (www.twittfilter.com) and there has not been anything new that really caught my attention.. Until I say ‘SaveMyDocs’ The idea is to use javascript to allow you to save a web page into a variety of formats that you… Read More

5 things SimCity really needs to fix.. now I really like SimCity for the iphone. I think they did a great job, esp with the UI. I still enjoy and lose far more time then intended playing it. However, there are a number of things that just really piss me off. Ok, so EA, if you are reading this, take notes.. Beginning rant….… Read More

So I got another email last week saying LED football2 is out. Downloaded it, played with it, and just like the first one, its fun. Totally reminds me of when the original came out. Whats different here is the… Read More
Review of Towers: Much better game then I expected I played my fair share of desktop towers back in the day. It was pretty fun, but I mostly burned myself out after a few multi hour sessions. So when Towers first came out ( I guess a month?) ago, I did not bother with it. Well, last night I saw a free version and… Read More
