Dan Grigsby pinged me about his latest project: MobileOrchard where he and Peter Cooper are tracking the news and developments in iPhone Developer-land.
Developments like PhoneGap - the HTML/Javascript bridge to the iPhone’s APIs - a project that I wouldn’t have known about otherwise and may be the reason I finally pick up one of [...]

I can imagine getting lost in the rain while walking is a scenario we’ve all been in numerous times and this is the gadget we’ve been waiting for.
My only question- how usable is this? I like [...]
Once in a while I’ll post a simple how-to post. Not terribly entertaining, but seems to fill a void out there for anyone searching for days to do the same thing. Hopefully a few fellow frustrated Cybershot users will stumble upon this post some day…

(Â sorry I decided to post to another blog I contribute to, but seems to sort of fit what we’re covering here as well )

St. Pauler Tim Kehoe has discovered the holy grail of kid’s toys: colored bubbles!
I hate cellphones. Which is a little embarrassing, as I am truly a geek. I love gadgets. But after each cell phone upgrade, I become more and more enraged every time I try to make a phone call. I don’t need a dozen menus, buttons that require a toothpick to press, or Tiger Woods playing [...]
