iPhone connects to iTunes for downloads
General Comments
I hope this unexpected alert is a sign to come. So, the alert is trying to tell me there are application updates on the computer it syncs (which is on the same network). This is definitly a cool feature but the functionality could be put to better use, like iTunes syncing over WiFi.SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "iPhone connects to iTunes for downloads", url: "http://dancameron.org/general/iphone-connects-to-itunes-for-downloads" });

VNC Lite - iPhone App
General Comments
Having VNC for the iPhone is awesome. With the screen resolution and 3G I can actually get something done on my home computer - anywhere. Here are some screens I took, not an extensive review but you all know how VNC works, it's a remote desktop.

iPhone 2.0 Apps
General Comments
Here's a screen grab of all the apps I've downloaded already. I can't give any full reviews just yet; no time and I haven't played with them all just yet. First impressions though: AIM: Why did I download that, I don't use aim. Looking forward to a GTalk (native) app, the special iPhone web version will do for now. Facebook: Pretty awesome. It's going to be a great contacts backup. Google Mobile App: I don't really get it. It's a start page for all of their iPhone web apps but has some great search functionality on the start page. Loopt: Very interesting. It's going ...

Disqus
General Comments
I recently added Disqus commenting to my site. Having a service manage my comments has a lot of benefits: Functionality - Seesmic integration is pretty cool, not like I'm expecting any video comments but it's going be be cool when that first one is made. Ownership - not only should I own the comments on this site but the commenter should too. I've always liked the idea of a service that collects your comments (I had the idea well before CoComment :) ) and since Disqus is taking off it's seems appropriate to allow my commenters to take their comments with them. The ...

FriendFeed Recommendation
General Comments
I've been giving FriendFeed a second chance and I'm glad I did. At first I really didn't know what to think, it seemed to be comprised of noise which led me to think of it as a social RSS aggrigator on par with Google Reader. Now that I've been using it for the last week I've really enjoyed it. Even though I may not be participating as much as I want, it's a wonderful way follow other's social streams and more importantly have conversations around them. Rooms are extremely useful. I'm only participating in one but having a place to share links ...

Old Look, New Feel
General (3)
After trying to figure out what to do around here I settled on ditching my old theme. I wrote about the reasoning behid that theme here. Now, I settled with my '07 theme with one big addition - the RSS Stream or LifeStream (as I like to call it). I'm currently just using the RSS Stream plugin to pull in the feeds. The setup is very basic and instead of modifying the plugin to accept the Google Shared and Google Starred atom feeds I'm just running them through feedburner conversion. The second part of my setup was simply changing the generic feed icons ...
