  • In Transit

    Heads up, SF peeps! This weekend I’ll be driving up to the Yay Area for WordCamp to rep both DreamHost and Preshrunk in an official capacity.

    As it stands, I’m driving up Friday night and crashing out at Frazier’s secret headquarters somewhere in the East Bay. Since I don’t like being part of the problem — or paying for parking — I’ll be taking as much public transit as I possibly can. So it’s handy that I managed to stumble upon these handy iPhone related Muni apps that use NextBus information. Now all I need is a native looking (i.e. pretty) trip planner and I’m all set. So… Does anybody know of one off the top of their heads — or am I stuck using 511.org over EDGE?

  • Telekinesis

    I know VNC has been done on phones and handhelds before, but the folks behind Telekinesis have done an awesome job of getting a remote desktop app onto the iPhone considering its constraints. What’s even more amazing tho, is that they’ve done so without a proper SDK and using Safari as their interface less than a week after the launch.

    Flickr user tonx has pulled together a brief but awesome set featuring the software in action on an iBook. It’s definitely worth a look if you’re waffling on installing and playing around with it.

  • Hotel Yorba… On A Bus

    Despite the fact that a few members of the audience get on my nerves a bit — shouty guy, I’m looking at you — here’s a great bit of footage from The White Stripes recent performance on a Winnipeg City Bus. Despite its shortcomings, it’s definitely worth sharing.

  • A Bottle Full Of Guilt

    “In Fiji, a state-of-the-art factory spins out more than a million bottles a day of the hippest bottled water on the U.S. market today, while more than half the people in Fiji do not have safe, reliable drinking water. Which means it is easier for the typical American in Beverly Hills or Baltimore to get a drink of safe, pure, refreshing Fiji water than it is for most people in Fiji.”

  • Dramatic Prairie Dog, I Love You

    I have all sorts of pretty videos loaded up on my iPhone in case I’m asked to demo it at all — like the Sony Bravia Ball Advert — but I’ve found that the most popular video seems to be the one I’ve got embedded above and gets loaded from my YouTube client. I guess humor wins out over pretty 9 times out of 10.

    Bonus Clip: Kill Bill Remix!

  • Hands On Experience

    Jason: Are you too much of a lady to give a handjob?
    Sarah: Why should I give handies when I can give vaginies?

  • Productivity

    Damn. I’ve been a busy bee tonight…

    Sadly, I can’t remember the last time I pulled off that much stuff in an evening. All I know is that it feels good to be productive for a change. Perhaps I can manage to keep it up.

  • Flight Of The Living Dead

    Snakes on a plane? That shit is straight up played out, yo. Zombies on a plane tho? Now that’s something I can get behind!

    This trailer makes “Flight Of The Living Dead” (formerly “Plane Dead”) look so horrible that it might end up being hilarious. Fighter jets that are obviously models? Hello Ed Wood! Firing machine guns inside an airliner at 30,000 feet? Holy suspension of disbelief, Batman!

    Honestly, if I didn’t love zombies and B movies and I saw this trailer, I’m pretty sure I would be out. So it’s a good thing that I do, I guess… ;)

    I guess the burning question for me is, when in the hell is this coming out?

  • Pulp Muppets

    I don’t know about y’all, but I think that 416film has done an awesome job of mashing The Muppets and Pulp Fiction together. I mean, this seriously must have taken a decent amount of time to do.
