2009 iPhone Photos Video

Over the past year I took over 500 photos with my iPhone.  This video contains most of them.  This is a great way to look back at the past 12 months and remember all the great experiences and fun I've had.  I would encourage anyone with an iPhone or other camera phone to do the same, you'll be amazed at the things you've forgotten about.  Enjoy and Happy New Years!

iPhone vs Droid vs PalmPre vs MyTouch

With all the new phones hitting the market it can be hard to determine which one is right for you.  Well my friends, I'm here to help.  Being the die hard Apple guy that I am, it's tough for me not to just say "well look, buy an iPhone and be done with it."  However, given the recent addition of the Android phones, so dubbed "Droid," to Verizon's line up, it seems that my trusty iPhone could be getting some pretty serious competition.  I've now used the Droid Eris and Motorola extensively and can honestly say that I'm very impressed, Google has delivered an operating system that is as easy to use and as intuitive as apples iPhone OS.  The Motorola with it's flip out keyboard is positioned as the "flag ship" phone from Verizon, however I would encourage anyone looking into a "Droid" to consider the Eris instead.  It is smaller, and has an on-screen keyboard, which anyone with an iPhone will tell you, "You will get used to."  The graphic below should help answer some of the questions about features and pricing.

Chase Jarvis: BestCamera

Ever wish you could Shoot, Edit, and Share all in one app on your iPhone? I have. And now, thanks to Chase Jarvis and Ubermind, it's here. BestCamera not only enables the iPhone to shoot and apply various filters to images, but also to share the images directly to facebook, twitter, and the new Best Camera Website, BestC.am. Watch chase explain the app and then buy it! It's well worth 3 duckets. See my BestCamera Pics here.

So much for a motivated day...

Well I was motivated by Chase's blog post two days ago, but due to the constant influx of new projects, I was stuck in my office until late... Subsequently, I snapped this with my iPhone:

Not exactly what I had in mind when I said "going to do something."  Luckily, I am going to have a pretty free weekend so I'll be super creative to make up for it!  Look for Pic updates as the weekend goes...  I've set up a flickr set here

Also, I'm shooting family portraits tonight w/ Julie, Kris, and Ashlynn.  Look for those updates in the next few days. 

The Ides of March

Beware of the ides of march.

Last night while trying to have a meeting w/ Kevin for Grön Concepts, I dropped my iPhone. It was about a 3 foot drop from my hands to the blacktop and when it landed (directly on the screen), it sounded bad....





Sure enough it shattered.


























For those of you wondering about iPhone abuse and the replacement there-of, Apple has a flat fee for fixing these phones. I have an 8Gb 3G model and it will be $199 to fix (no matter what's wrong w/ it). On the other hand, replacing a phone will cost you double what you paid for it. The price on Apples website is just for new contracts! Having sold phones for several years, I understand this policy and expected as much... I am actually pretty happy about only having to pay $199 to get it fixed.
