The Mixtape Is Back With Mixwit

Posted (seano) in Music, Tech on April-25-2008

Rock out this weekend with my first mix: Can’t Stand Still, a collection of “party rock”.

Then, why not make your own mix?  Just go to Mixwit, sign up, and search for the songs you want to add.  The tape templates & animation (check it out below) are a stroke of genius.

Ten Thousand Cents

Posted (seano) in Miscellaneous, Money, Tech on April-10-2008

Ten Thousand Cents

Check out Ten Thousand Cents, a Mechanical Turk project.  Each participant was paid a penny to draw one section of a hundred dollar bill.  Ten thousand of these images, at one cent apiece, make up $100 (clever).  U.S. users spent just under 3 minutes, on average, creating their little slice.  That’s less than $0.20/hour for those keeping score at home.

Of course, this is a fun and interesting experiment, but still… How much is your time worth?

This depiction of Facebook is almost entirely accurate (careful kids, the language is quite NSFW).

iPhone 1.1.4 Firmware Update

Posted (seano) in Tech, iPhone on March-4-2008

Apple released the 1.1.4 firmware update for the iPhone & iPod Touch last week.  The update adds a total of zero great new features to your iPhone/iTouch.  However, I’ve noticed that my battery life has increased by about 50%!  And it is assumed this update preps your device for the (finally) coming third-party applications.

My advice: plug into iTunes and update as soon as you get the chance.

iPhone Ready For Business?

Posted (seano) in Business, Tech, iPhone on February-28-2008

Exchange on iPhoneUp until now, the iPhone, like most other iProducts before it, has been purely a consumer device.  But the business world is starting to realize that, “hey, this really could be useful in my company.”  Indeed, I’ve already ported a few of our line-of-business apps to the iPhone platform, and they work pretty darn well, even over the pokey EDGE connection.

The biggest piece of the puzzle is e-mail.  Many businesses run Microsoft Exchange, which is currently not supported by the iPhone’s mail client.  But with the forthcoming SDK release (which will almost certainly be delayed to March 6th from the Jobs-himself-promised February release date), Exchange support may should be just around the corner.  Hopefully, along with a To-Do List app.

This could do wonders for Apple’s stock price (AAPL) as well, which has take a beating these last few months after rising vertically for much of last year.  Market the Jesus Phone as an enterprise utility, and the one-off sales can turn into hundreds, thousands or more overnight…
