iPhone optimized!

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.

Quicksilver tips

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!

Mac Roundtable Podcast

May 9, 2007 Author: Veronica | Filed under: apple, apps, babble, podcast

mrtI was on the Mac Roundtable Podcast this week with Adam Christianson (of The MacCast) and Ken Ray (Mac OS Ken). We chatted about User Groups, iPhone, WWDC, and various other Apple-related topics.

It was a lot of fun, although my Skype kept giving out and dropping me. Maybe I need to make some kind of sacrifice to the Comcast gods in order to get a stable connection these days.

Music and Medicine toolbar

This is kind of weird, I know, but I was inspired by a certain Webware article to create my very own Music and Medicine toolbar for Firefox. Unfortunately, it only works for Windows (gasp!) but it is pretty funny. Some amazing features include:

Links and feeds of my favorite sites!
A radio station that only streams podcasts I’m involved with!
A chat area for other M&M (Hah! Get it?) users to communicate with one another!
A special message center with messages from… ME!

Thrilling! ;)

I have no idea why you would want this.
