I put together a video of pics from the pub crawl I planned this past Spring. This was the first time I’ve used iMovie to create anything. It is a very intuitive and easy to use application, I would definitely recommend it to any novice producers out there. There are definitely some limitations that I felt using iMovie, so I’m going to give Final Cut Express a go for my next production. I’ve been looking around for a hand held video recorder and am thinking about picking up a Flip Mino. I’d love to get something that records HD, but that just isn’t in the budget right now.

The free Wordpress iPhone application is now out, and I am posting this from it right now. Looks like a pretty simple and intuitive interface. The only thing I don’t see here that I would like is an easier way to format the copy. Writing out the HTML by hand on this keyboard is quite a chore. It does make adding photos a snap though. Below is a screenshot of me drafting this post that I have attached.

Update: Looks like some things still need to be worked out with it. I’m not sure if it is an issue with the app or my server, but the image hasn’t posted properly.

Update2: Definitely a setting on my end. Should be smooth sailing from here on out

While doing some grooming of my music library and updating the contents of my DLPs over the past weekend I saw this in my iTunes sidebar, and I thought It’d be nice to share. Some call it an obsession, some call it fanboyism, and I think it is just awesomeness. (But probably more of the first two)

I am a fairly recent “switcher“. It has been a very great and relatively painless experience, but one little annoyance that I had however was that in OS X browsers I couldn’t tab on my keyboard to the drop-down fields in forms the same way I could in Windows. Filling out forms are already such a tedious task, so when I had to take my hands from my keyboard to move my mouse every time I encountered a drop-down it became even more annoying.  I had asked veteran Mac users about this annoyance in the past , but no one knew of a solution. I finally ran across the simple little solution the other day, so I thought I’d share it:

Go to System Preferences » choose Keyboard & Mouse » select the Keyboard Shortcuts tab » then just select “All controls” from the Full keyboard access setting at the bottom as shown in the screen shot below.

You may need to restart your browser before it kicks in. Enjoy!

The 1GB iPod nano showed up in the Apple store today. Very un-applesk to not throw a big hoopla event for it. I bet the shuffle will be killed off shortly.
