8 Jun 2010Howdy folks! I’ve been hard at work with a new iPhone creation. If you’re a using of location-based apps, you’ll definitely be interested.
It’s called ‘Atlas’ and it’s a universal check-in app for the iPhone. With Atlas, you can check in to multiple location-based services (FourSquare, BrightKite, TriOut) all in the same app.
You’ll also be to save the same location (ie, Starbucks) under different location services as a “favorite”. In essence, it’s a meta-checkin favorite.
Coming soon to the App Store!

Dead pixels occur sometimes on LCD displays (it’s not specific to just iPads; any LCD can have them).
If you notice some on your iPad, set up an appointment at your local Apple Store to get it looked at.

10 Dec 2009If you’re like me, you’re always looking up prices on Amazon. I got tired of the whole lookup process:
1) copying whatever I was interested in (product name, ISBN, whatever)
2) opening a new browser tab
3) surfing over to Amazon
4) pasting in the thing I was looking for and pressing return
The solution?
I wrote an Automator action (which in Snow Leopard ) gets installed as a Service.
Translation in English: it means you can highlight text, right-click, select “Lookup on Amazon” and BOOM! it opens a new browser and searches on Amazon for you.
Download it here. After downloading, unzip it, then double-click on the ‘Lookup on Amazon’ workflow (this will open the ‘Automator’ program). From the ‘File’ menu, select ‘Save As’, then click ‘Ok’ when you see the ‘Save Service As’ dialog box.
And, yes, I’m lazy.
