iPod Touch…Fantastic!!

I’m currently writing this post from the WordPress App on my new iPod Touch. I’m going to be doing mobile themes for one of my regular clients, so I needed a device to test with. So far, I’m really loving it…but it REALLY makes me want an iPhone so I can use it everywhere.

For those of you with mobile devices, you’ll notice that my site now has a mobile-friendly theme that shows up when you visit from one of these devices. It’s currently using the default theme from the plugin I’m using (WPTouch iPhone Theme), but I plan on changing that soon.

So yeah, iPod Touch good!

• When upgrading the firmware on your PopcornHour A-100 Network Media Tank, you might end up with a hung machine before any operations take place. You'll know this has happened because your TV screen will go black as soon as you start the process. If this happens to you, there's a simple solution...remove your custom theme. You don't have to delete it, just renaming the theme folder form _theme_ to theme and rebooting the A-100 is enough to get you in the firmware updating business. Once you've updated, you can safely re-apply your theme and be back in business. #
• Advertising is culture. In between advertising we do things like talk about what we have been up to, but all we have been up to is following the instructions of advertising. Going to the gym, going to Burger King, downloading the latest music or driving the latest car. If you think about it, even non-sponsored images are advertising: the old woman with her walker is an advertisement for old age; the young boy with no helmet and a cheap scooter is an advertisement for making the community nervous. He will die beneath the wheels of a car, and it is mathematically likely that it will be a neighbor of his at the wheel, and this will make one of the families have to move. A moving company makes five thousand dollars, or less, per move. On average. #
