Blogging via iphone?

Yes, it’s possible. I’m trying out some new software tonight, more on that later though. For now, I can confirm that you can indeed blog by iPhone. For the curious, this is made possible by a new application available on the app store, and comes free of any charge (yea!). Essentially it reduces the wordpress dashboard to the essentials of writing a post, including the ability to add pictures. It’s quite effective for what it is, and certainly better than logging into the dashboard with the iPhone’s version of safari. I like it.

Something’s In the Air: Macworld Expo, Steve Jobs Keynote Today

Macworld Expo begins today and that means Steve Jobs will be giving his keynote speech at around 12:00 EST. While we’ll do our best to keep you updated, your best bet for live coverage is most likely Engadget , but Terry White will also be giving regular updates on location. I have a feeling that an ultra-portable macbook pro may become alot of photographers new best friend today.

Update: Introducing time capsule, airport w/ built in hard drive, Time Machine friendly. (Why didn’t they think of this before?)

Update: Apple TV 2 introduced, finally seems like a good product.

Update: Macbook Air introduced, I (and just about everybody else) was right. It’s ridiculously thin!

Update: Lots of good stuff, software updates, no 3g iphone. We’ll fill in some details later.

Improve your popup flash results

Browsing around this morning, I noticed Terry White had a little blurb about a device that helps improve your popup flash results via a little gadget that attaches to the flash. It’s called the Lightscoop and it seems like it might make a nice addition to the ‘ol camera bag. I know there’s alot of these gadgets out there (Gary Fong’s puffer comes to mind) but this one works by bouncing the flash to the ceiling or wall behind you using a mirror inside the gadget. It’s not a substitute for external flash by any means, but it does seem like a clever solution and it’s only $30. Terry has some sample results here.
