Good times here. Just a little video from our college graduation that Ty posted a while back. I’m just adding to the linkbait in order to get it to the #1 Google search spot for ‘Washburn Graduation’. We’re sitting #2.

EDIT: Well that didn’t take long. We are now the #1 spot - at least according to my results.


Wordpress just released a much anticipated app for the iPhone that let’s you manage a blog from the phone. This is the first post and I thought I would post an appropriate picture of Megan and I because she is in Boston for two weeks as a counselor for the Oxfam non-profit organization.

We all know Valleywag is over the top. $1,237 for the true cost of the new 3g iPhone is incorrect. He doesn’t take into account only incremental costs as it’s not fair to assume you never had a cell phone before this and you were not paying anything before.

I will pay $179/yr in incremental costs and here is why:

• Unlimited data plan: I currently pay $20; now I will be paying $30 for a network 2x as fast. Net $120/yr.
• Text messages are not included in the new plan. Net $60/yr.
Mobileme ($99/yr) will be a “nice to have”, but Funambol has already announced their sync app is ready to go for launch. Net $0/yr.
• My voice plan will not change. Net $0/yr.
• The cost of the 3g iPhone is $199. I have a bid on my 2g for $200. Even If I do decide on the 16gb, I shouldn’t count that because I have 8gb more of portable storage.  Net -$1.

It obviously will be different for other people. If you are switching from another service provider that cost could increase by a pretty hefty amount. I also understand that FamilyTalk plans are being forced into higher rates as well. This same thing happened with the 1st generation iPhone as well…people are still amazed to find out I only pay $70/mo for service (which is $12 more than what I was paying for a SLVR) because rumors were flying around saying it would cost $120/mo just for service alone.


I’ve updated the extension to add support for Firefox 3.0 RC1. I haven’t been able to really test it like I wanted to, so please let me know if you run into any problems and I will address them.

You might have also noticed a few extra comments on posts…using the RSSMeme API I am now able to pull in Google Reader Notes on every post that has them. They will show up at the bottom of the gReader Comments inline page inside Reader. At the top you can also see the share count & how many notes are tied to that particular post (thanks again to RSSMeme).

I threw together a new iPhone web-app. This was by far the quickest & easiest one I have done yet. It’s based entirely on the CSB Sportsline data. The idea for it came from trying to get the Sportsline scores gadget from iGoogle on the iPhone, but none of the pages it produced looked good on the phone.
