iPod touch and iPhone themes

andersonshumate — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 00:26:59 +0000

I’ll be making themes and apps for jailbroken iPods. So if you have a jailbroken iPod touch or iPhone, I’ll let you know when it’s up on Cydia, check it out and download it.

New posts coming soon

I know it’s been a while since I’ve been frequently updating, but I’m going to get back at it again. I’m going to add film into the mix of tech and stuff like that. I’ll be updating about new movies in theaters, and upcoming movies and such. Maybe even a few movie reviews thrown in. Thanks

AT&T actually wanting to help it’s customers?

andersonshumate — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 02:44:09 +0000

AT&T has just released a new iPhone app that let’s you report an error or flaw in their network. The app “Mark the Spot” allows you to report a dropped call, failed call, no coverage, data failure, and poor voice quality. AT&T will then send you a text message thanking you for reporting the flaw. Who knows? Maybe AT&T will fix some of these problems, maybe build a few more 3G towers here and there. But please, one miracle at a time.

Top 5 iPhone apps for bloggers

andersonshumate — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 01:24:29 +0000

I don’t have all of these because some of these are kind of exspensive.

1. WordPress for iPhone: I have this one, I’m actually using it to write this post. This is a very nice app because you can post, view pages, manage comments, all from your iPod touch or iPhone.

2. Shapewriter: This app has a lite and pro edition and both are paid apps. The lite version is $3.99 and the pro version is $7.99. I don’t have this app, what is does is instead of typing the note, you trace the note with your finger onto the screen and it recognizes the word.

3. Twitterific: I have this one and it’s a very good Twitter client. I switch back and forth from Tweekdeck and Twiiterific. It has a very organized app, I’d have to say it is one of the best free Twitter clients out there.

4. Evernote: I personally love Evernote, it is the best free personal planner out there. It let’s you do about anything, it even sets up an email that you can email links to the app. Although you can only use a certain amount of space for pics, notes, links, per month it is very good.

5. Jott for iPhone: I don’t have this app but I hear it’s pretty good. The app itself is free, but you have to have a paid account on their website. Instead of writing out long emails, Jott is a voice-to-text system. All you do is speak the email and it will appear in your notes.

This article was originally posted by Brian X. Chen on wired.com. It was the top 10 apps for bloggers but I scaled it down. I’ve only used a couple of these apps so I only know how good a couple of them are.

1,000 Blog Views

andersonshumate — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 01:17:39 +0000

I have finally broke 1,000 blog views. Thank you to everyone who reads this blog, and I will get back into the habit of updating more here in the next couple of weeks. Once again, Thanks.

Wow, this is the first update in a while

andersonshumate — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 01:39:24 +0000

Ok, I know my last post was August 23rd, and I’ve been doing my best to get some free time to update. You can thank marching band for taking up week and weekends with shows and games. Since I don’t have a lot of time to review things or post about something, I mostly post on Twitter. So if you want to follow me on Twitter, my Twitter feed is somewhere on this blog. And if you really want to follow somebody that actually does update all the time follow either G4′s twitter or you can follow Chris Hardwick(@nerdist). Thanks and I’ll try to review something in these next couple days.
