I spent the day at Kingswood Farm in East Kingston today doing work for the United Way Day of Caring. My team and I were cleaning up and decorating the farm in preparation for an open house for the Wings & Hooves program this weekend. Wings & Hooves provides free riding lessons to children and …
Players Icon Pack!
When I started work on Players, I decided to focus on functionality over graphics and prettiness. Now that the app has reached a stable place feature-wise (for now), I've had a chance to finally start working on graphics. I actually did create an icon for version 0.2, but it was horribly crappy and I never …
iPod: What's Next? – How Did I Do?
In late June I posted my thoughts about what Apple would release for iPods at its annual September music event. The post was prompted mostly by the release of the iPhone 4 and got me thinking about how its technology would trickle down to the consumer-oriented and unsubsidized iPod Touch. My predictions were based partially …
Time for a New iMac!!!
I bought my first brand new Mac in 2004. It was a 12" Aluminum PowerBook G4. I was in college. In late 2006 I bought my second brand new Mac. It was a 24" White Intel iMac. I was in my senior year in college. I was really excited when Apple moved to the Intel …
Players 0.2

If you don't know, Players is an application used to help …
Fireworks
I've never really been able to get photos of fireworks that looked good... until now. I always put the camera in aperture-priority mode, put it on a tripod, and trusted that the camera would know what to do. It didn't. The reason is similar to why I could never get moon pictures to come out …
Photos of Me
I have needed new photos of myself for a while now. I was going to take some self portraits, but then I decided that it would be easier if I focused on being a model and had my photographer wife do it for me. After a little bit of instruction she turned into quite the …
My First iPhone App!
I've created my first iPhone app!!! I've wanted to get into iPhone programming for a few years now but have never really had a good idea to work on. I could always create the next flashlight or unit converter, but I wanted to make something that was actually useful to me. Sally and I play …
New Photos
More photos!!! This is a very eclectic collection. Some of the photos are from our trip to Wildcat last weekend to take the Gondola and go down the zip line. The gondola took us up to the top of the mountain and the mountains in the distance were beautiful. There was a bit of haze …

It is estimated that Apple will have sold between 1 and 1.5 million phones by Saturday. Reviews generally been positive regarding its high density display, front …
