I installed a great Wordpress plug-in today called iWPhone (I read about it on TUAW) and it works really well! It automatically senses when someone is visiting the site via iPhone, and gives them this super-clean layout.

Oh a side note, why isn’t Apple’s web apps directory iPhone optimized? Isn’t that what the whole thing is about?

UPDATE: Well, it seems like it was causing some users to see my site “iPhone optimized” when they were just looking at it in Firefox on their computers. I’m not into that, so I’ve turned it off for now.

I’m a big fan of using Quicksilver as a launcher, but I know there’s so much more it can do. Merlin Mann has tons of good info on 43folders, but I wanted to ask you guys what your favorite uses for it are. And if you’re on a Mac and NOT using it, give it a try.

UPDATE: Oooo! Check out these plug-ins that I found on the Quicksilver page. Nice!

Want to see a video of my iPhone being successfully unlocked? It’s over on Engadget. So far so good; I’m pretty sure I threatened Ryan with bodily harm if something happened to it! I’m keeping it on the AT&T network for now (because hell, I paid for it) but it’s nice to know that I can switch it if I want to. Personally, I think $99 is steep for unlocking, but it’ll be worth it for some people.

And no, I do not regret having switched from T-Mobile when I did (just like I don’t regret paying the $200 more than people are now) even though I knew that it would only be a matter of time before the phone was unlocked.

Maybe I can find a Japanese SIM for my trip next week.

I was thrilled to co-host DL.TV today with Roger Chang (Robet Heron was out at CEDIA), and we had a really good time. Roger is a riot, and I’ve been on his and Tom Merritt’s podcast East Meets West a few times, so I knew it would be a lot of fun. I’d love to do it again some time (hint, hint). We talked about Apple, Terminal hacks (they’re not really hacks, just some fun tips) and dragons. Lots and lots of dragons. So basically, it was my perfect afternoon.

Also, I was taking a look at my referrers this afternoon after all the iPhone rebate hoohah, and I noticed that I was linked to from the CNET News.com blog! That was exciting to me, anyway.
