Ok, so believe it or not…there were smartphones before the iPhone…in fact, PALM had made quite a few of them…prior to my owning an iPhone, I owned no less than 4 Palm devices…2 of which were smartphones…the Treo 600 and the 650…both of which were handy devices…in fact, for note taking, IMHO, they were better devices than my iPhone…which I still can’t import those notes into w/out a mod…that said…the iPhone blows the Treo away on almost all other counts…as soon as APPL made their phone available…and I managed to get my hands on one…I sold both the iPod and the Treo…because I was sick of having to carry around mulitple devices…

iPhone 3.0 Software Sneaks Out Today. How’d I miss this?
MobileCrunch has a very good post re: today’s iPhone 3.0 software update, including a citation of definite cut and paste from Mr. Kevin Rose himself on a recent SXSW Diggnation episode:
Obamafy Plugin for PhotoBooth – Mac Only!
Ok, a lot of folks have been asking me about my Shepherd Fairey style “Obama – HOPE” profile pic. Here is the secret in the sauce… The trick is a Macintosh PhotoBooth plug in (for OS X.5 Leopard only) called “Obamafy” created by Dubi Kaufmann. Enjoy!

Bouv’s Blog Broken in IE7 and I Don’t Care…BOYCOTT IE7!
I don’t often test to see if my blog works on all browsers…but recently…Bouv’s Blog was found to be broken by yours truly in Internet Explorer on Windows…and frankly…I don’t give a damn.
Obama’s New FCC Chair: May Not Push for “Wholesale a la Carte”
In an article on TelevisionBroadcast.com today, they report the Obama administration will nominate Julius Genachowski, who seems to have a fine resume for the role…however the article goes on the saying “He’s not expected to be the bane to the cable industry that is current Chairman Kevin Martin, who’s called for a la carte pricing over the last two years.”
Avid Technology’s New Mission = The Jester’s New Clothes.
I recently received an email from the new CEO of Avid Video…it was entitled “An Update on Avid’s Business Transformation.”
I’m sorry…I appreciate the sentiment…but as an ex-Avid employee turned inheritor of a Wintel MCA HD 2.6.x, I believe the words are empty…a new mission statement is no substitute for product vision or strength/utility of code. See Guy Kawasaki’s “The Art of the Start”.
