Attended Tinker - a science fair crashing a carnival being hijacked by a jazz festival

TinkerWent to tinker today, put on by collexion. This is yet another great event that I have had the opportunity to attend this month. As soon as I got out of my car, I felt totally welcome and at home with like minds.

As it turns out A team bowed out of the lego mindstorms completion, so I worked with some of the guys to build and quickly program a robot. We didn't place, but considering how quickly we pulled it together, we did pretty good actually seeing the line. With a little more time, I sure we could have shored up the logic, but it was all in good fun, so no worries.

Here's a pic of the robot on the course:

DMAGAZINE IS FINALLY HERE!

Digital Media Artists Group provides a source of information and sense of community for people in the Lexington and surrounding areas. Some members undertook the task of assembling a magazine a few months back. I read it cover-to-cover yesterday and must say, it's quite impressive work. Below is the "Official" announcement and links to download the magazine.

MobileX Technology Conference

mobileX - what's next in the mobile worldI attended the MobileX Technology Conference at Awesome Inc. today. I went specifically for the iPhone development workshop.

Timewerks

Time Tracking and Invoicing ApplicationTimewerks is a time tracking and invoicing application for the iPhone. This is by far one of the best and most often used apps on my phone. It's paid for itself many times over just due to the ease of use. Here's the example I typically use when explaining the power of the iPhone and the apps available for it:

Not so long ago I received an email from one of my best clients asking me to make an address change on their site, as they had recently moved while I sitting watching my kids' at their Kung Fu class

FTP Picture Upload

FTP Picture Upload by Headlight Software, Inc.

I picked up a neat app last night that I thought would be a really nice compliment to the d-mag.org website I created and manage. The App is FTP Picture Upload by Headlight Software, Inc. The whole purpose of this app is to take photos with the iPhone and automatically upload them to a website using the FTP protocol.

Now you may be wondering why exactly you might want to do that, which is a valid question. So, I'll tell you why.

iPad Thoughts

Well, the announcement of the iPad was the other day, and I cannot help but think of all the possibilities.

I am all about efficiency and like having the ability to work on my projects from pretty much anywhere. This maximizes my abilities, minimizes my idle time, and maximizes the amount of time I can spend with my family and doing things I really want to do.

Since getting my iPhone, I have the ability to do so much more than I could do with my previous smart devices. I'll name a few of the applications and give a brief summary of how I use them in everyday life. In the coming weeks. I plan to review and elaborate on the benefits of these applications.

Site Migration

Just like any other profession, I guess mine is no different... I work on everyone else's sites and software and let mine get stagnant. I'll be working on getting everything migrated over to the new site over the course of the next few weeks. Now that my site is dynamic, updates should be more frequent. I can even administer it from my phone.

There are a lot of new applications and updates to existing ones that have not made it up yet. Expect to see those in the near future.

If you're looking for something that was on my old site and has not been migrated over yet, you can still get it here:

Hope everyone likes the new format.
