I’m basically like a crazy digital squirrel who snatches up tasty bits from the internet and hides them in my information tree.
And saving webpages as pdf files on my iPhone and iPad was one nut I just couldn’t crack. Until now.
Let me show you how. Read more
Odds are, this Christmas won’t be white. But, you can bet it’ll be Wild.
WildDog, Sarah, and I are off on a big road trip in a small car to points west of Dallas. Who knows what hidden treasures we’ll find?
Track our travels in pictures and an interactive map here!

Email on the iphone and ipad is a pretty good experience. With one big exception. Groups. Steve Jobs insists you only converse electronically with one person at a time. If you break this rule, you’re punished by having to tap, tap, tap every recipients’ address one by painful one.
The discomfort is even worse when you can see your beautiful, elegant groups sitting in there your contacts. They’re synced up from your desktop address book, but you can’t use them. So close, yet so far away.
Thankfully, there’s an app for that.
MailShot is free. It’s available for iPad and iPhone on the App Store. It imports groups from your contacts and reformats them to work in your iOS email. Once you go through the quick set-up, type the group name into an address field – just like a single contact.
Except now, your email’s on it’s way to the whole crew.
No more typing recipients one at a time. Sweet!
WildDog, ready to throw down for a serious play fight after I made him chase a rock.
Later, he would get mud in my shorts.
TripColor is a nifty, new iPhone app being featured in the App Store. And, I’m being featured by them. So, in a strange way, Steve Jobs is smiling on me with an approving twinkle in his eye from wherever he’s hiding out right now.
TripColor works as an easy photo journal. It reads the location and time data embedded on your iPhone photos, let’s you add a short caption, then posts it to a tumblr-esque blog.
Today, they’ve put my recent trip to the Mediterranean on the app home screen for some reason. So if you download he app, you can see the donkey that tried to kill me in Santorini and other great moments in travel right from the front page.
It’s a free app that’s worth a look for photo nerds.
Brushes is an art creation app that lets you craft multi-layered paintings or drawings on your iphone. Everything from quick diagrams to print-ready art — and even a blog illustration — is possible on the Brushes canvas. Read more
Sitting around on a Sunday afternoon. Thinking about how things are, how things used to be, and how things should be.
And making lo-fi recordings with my phone.
