Apps in Action: Instagram and PostalPix
So, I have a confession to make. I am addicted to my iPhone camera. My husband and I have gotten really into Lomography and the toy camera movement. I’m the proud owner of a Holga 35mm and a brand new limited edition Diana F+, while he sports a SuperSampler and a Holga 120. He prefers Hipstamatic for his faux toy camera prints; but while I like Hipstamatic, I am completely hooked on Instagram. Instagram is a great little free app …

How To: Boxee Beta on the Apple TV
DISCLAIMERS: 1) This post is over a year out of date at this point (as of 3/23/11). 2) You are fully responsible for what you do with your gadgets, including if you mess things up following my directions! Good luck. I’ve been waxing poetic on my Twitterstream about my Apple TV’s new lease on life, thanks to the Boxee Beta and a few related hacks. A few friends have asked what exactly I did, so I thought I’d put the …

Boxee Update: Bug Found and Destroyed
About a month ago I posted about having trouble with Boxee after I upgraded to the latest rolled out version. I was unable to play files that it had played before with ease–it kept crashing the software and rebooting my Apple TV. I received a great comment to my Boxee post from a guy named Tom, who worked with Boxee (pretty obvious from the @boxee.tv email address!), but I didn’t realize right away that Tom was the co-founder! Bad software …

My iPhone Hates My Tape Adapter
I use an old-school tape adapter in my car when I want to listen to my iPhone while I drive. I live and drive in a heavily populated area, and the FM band is crammed full of stations, so the FM transmitters do not usually work very well for me. Barring removing my antenna like my husband has done on his car, the only real solution is a tape adapter, since my 2003 model stereo does not feature a direct …

Boxee woes
I really hope a fix comes out for this soon…I just updated my Apple TV to the new 2.4 update and reinstalled Boxee. Boxee’s brand new alpha, build 0.9.12.6566, really doesn’t want to play anything from my four seasons of Farscape. I’ve renamed the offending files, deleted my profile and reinstalled it, and still no love. I was able to watch an episode of Grey’s Anatomy, I was able to stream an episode of Nurse Jackie, but I absolutely cannot …
IM+ gets pushy on the iPhone
I have been looking forward to push notifications on the iPhone ever since they were first announced. I knew that programs like instant messaging on the iPhone would be truly usable then, because you wouldn’t have to “sign out” to do something like check an email or make a call. It was a long wait, but the app I have been waiting to get push notifications FINALLY got the App Store Update tonight! IM+ 3.1 is live and it is …

My iPhone 3.0 Favorites
After almost two full days with the new iPhone 3.0 software, there are a handful of things that stand out for me as clearly AWESOME…things I wish had been a part of the iPhone OS since the beginning (or at least the introduction of the iPhone 3G). 1) Copying multiple photos from the Camera Roll to email. This is so freaking handy, especially when I use my iPhone to take snaps of something I am reviewing, or a series of …

Scrobble from the iPhone – without a jailbreak!
One of the main reasons I wanted to jailbreak my iPhone was to be able to scrobble the tracks I played on my iPod to my last.fm account. I really love last.fm, both for the radio features and just to have a history of what I’ve been listening to. I like to track my habits, “love” certain songs in last.fm to remember them, and discover new music by playing artist stations (in a similar manner to how I use Pandora). …

Happy iPhone 3.0 Day!
I have to say, up until last night I wasn’t really that excited about the release of iPhone 3.0. I was happy when they announced it some months back, and I knew I’d be happy when it got here, but I wasn’t so blown away by any of the features that I was jumping out of my seat. After last week’s announcement at WWDC that AT&T would not support MMS at the release of 3.0 and that tethering would be …

Pimping my Mini (already)
My Apple decals arrived today in the mail, so you know I had to make my pretty Mini even prettier (though I am sure John from Dell is probably dying a little inside, sorry John!). The rainbow stickers from icolours.ca were cute, but they were too small and also too thin to cover the Dell logo. No real loss, they were cheap, they’re still cute, and I already put one of the two I purchased on my WD Passport drive …
