From an evening shooting with my buddy Erik.
Here are some images from our recent trip to Pennsylvania. Got some neat captures from our cousins' farm near Gettysburg.
Some images from a recent day in NYC's Greenwich Village.
I just got through updating my iPhone 3GS with Apple's new iOS 4.0.1 software. This was created in the wake of the iPhone 4 antenna woes and is supposed to more accurately reflect how many bars of reception you actually have.
Well, it does. It turns out in my office I'm getting either 1 or 2 bars. Mostly 1.
In previously software versions, it was getting anywhere from 3 to 5 bars, usually 4. I was dropping calls and having calls fail to connect and go right to voicemail. I was wondering why. Now I know.
Strangely, this does not make me happy. Basically, I now know that the only carrier that has the iPhone -- AT&T -- is giving me a very weak signal with no improvement in sight. I've held off upgrading to the iPhone 4 based on the antenna issues, but now I may just hold off based on signal strength issues. What to do?
Well, I've got two choices as I see it. Wait and see if the rumors of a Verizon iPhone in January are true. Or, start rocking with Android. If I do that, though, I'll lose the ability to have an iPod on my phone, which I like very much.
What to do? What to do? Thanks for the update, Apple!
I just had the unfortunate experience of coming across two interesting tweets from two interesting publications ... only to find them password-protected.
What on earth is the point of doing that?
In the PR world, companies will sometimes put password-protected links on their "In The News" pages. However, this serves a purpose. It shows who's covering them. And given the price newspapers and magazines charge for online reprints, I really don't see a way around it.
But for a publication to post a password-protected link to ITS OWN CONTENT? That's ridiculous. If you want to show folks how good your work is -- in the hopes of getting subscribers -- make the articles public. You don't have to make the whole site public. Just the stories you want to promote.
Otherwise, the very people you want to reach end up clicking your link -- only to be taken to an access denied page. That's incredibly annoying. Instead of gaining subscribers, you'll lose followers.
