iPod and iTunes Hacks

I contributed a handful of articles and served as technical editor on O’Reilly’s iPod and iTunes Hacks by Hadley Stern. I’ve read all the way through the rough copies of the book, and it’s packed with hackery goodness. Here’s a link to O’Reilly’s page for the book, which also links to some [...]

ProfiMail for Your 3650

Russell Beattie likes ProfiMail as a replacement email program for Series 60 devices, like the 3650. I downloaded, installed, and configured it yesterday, but haven’t actually tested it yet. It looks very cool, however. Once I get a chance to run it, and to see if it works with Share2Blue2th, I’ll update this [...]

Frontier GPL’ed

This is extremely cool. I bailed ship on Radio Userland a few years ago, mainly because of the desire to move to a more open platform. I wouldn’t mind playing around with Frontier now, but, unfortunately, the code is prepared for build with Codewarrior only. I want X-code porting. I wonder if [...]

INdTV

This is cool. I want to have my own INdTV show. I think I might just have to apply for this… Could my New South New York documentary idea play well as a weekly show?

ogo

I kind of want the ogo. It looks cool and useful, but unfortunately, it seems to be missing web-surfing capabilities. I think rather than a cellphone, I would prefer a device like this that could also surf the web, but, nevertheless, had a phone number attached to it where people could call and [...]
