WordPress iOS App Gets a Complete Work Over in Version 2.7

Dan — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 00:29:14 +0000

The iOS WordPress team just announced that the 2.7 version of their app has just hit the app store. I am actually typing and will publish this post from the app. Already the app feels very solid. I have not had any crashes or login issues that have plagued several of the previous versions. It [...]

I’m Now Officially Addicted to How Stuff Works

Dan — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 22:58:35 +0000

While searching through the most popular podcasts on iTunes the other day I stumbled upon the Stuff You Should Know podcast. Right off the bat I found a segment on Should You Eat a Gluten Free Diet. It was a good 1/2 segment on what celiac disease is, where it came from, and how to treat it. Other interesting podcasts are How Does the Mafia Work and how does immigration work.

If that wasn’t enough they actually have an iPhone app that not only has these podcasts but videos and articles as well. I have found a new, educational, time waster. The app is awesome and can be downloaded here – How Stuff Works iPhone App

Switching from Buxfer to PocketMoney for iPhone

Dan — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 18:57:03 +0000

I have been a long time user of Buxfer and have generally pleased with there online checkbook service. I never used the account sync feature that they offered (similar to Mint’s) because I like to keep my own balance verses the bank. Lately I had been noticing that both their regular and mobile sites were [...]

Bing’s Top 100 Songs by Year iPhone App

Dan — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 01:39:44 +0000

I just stumbled upon a fairly new app by Microsoft under their Bing label.

What you do is select the year that you want to listen to and the app serves up the top 100 songs according to Billboard that year. It plays them in a Pandora type shuffle to where you can only skip to the next song. You can click a button and see all the songs from that year but you cannot select a specific song to play.

The other downside to the app is that it puts up an ad for the main Bing iPhone app every 3 or so songs where you have to manually click next to continue with the music. I downloaded the app that they were advertising but the ads still come up.

They are advertising that this app is going to be $1.99 but is free right now. I would hope that they would remove the ads in you actually pay for the app. I guess we will just need to see.

Currently I am groovin’ like it’s 1993. Hip Hop Hooray! Ho. Hay. Ho.

Here’s a link to the app in the iTunes App Store – Top 100s by Year by Bing

It took a few hours but I finally got through to the authentication servers to update my iPhone to the 3.0 firmware. The process took about 15 minutes total and went without a hitch. The first thing that I noticed when starting up was the new Voice Memos icon on my home screen. I have been [...] Related posts:

Fail: iPhone 3.0 Activation Servers Down :-(

Dan — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 19:01:32 +0000

I was super excited to see that the iPhone 3.0 software was out so I ran home to update my phone. The download happened nice and fast which was cool but when I actually tried to install the update this is what I got:

Bum deal.

I guess this is the message that a lot of people were seeing with the 2.0 update except for the fact that when it happened back then that it bricked the phone. I guess I am fortunate enough that 2.0 did not brick mine.

I want my iPhone 3.0!

I am using it to do this post and it seems to be working pretty well.
