If you want to make great shit, you must first know what great shit is. This takes time, like anything. The key to sticking with it is only learning about shit you’re actually interested in. It doesn’t matter how great shit is: If you’re not appreciating it, you’re wasting your time. Find something else.

One of the perks of Jailbreaking your iPhone is the ability to explore all those “what if” questions we have in thinking what it would be like if Apple implemented even more neat features to the device.

Imagine being completely immersed reading an article on your feed reader of choice and you suddenly receive a text that you want to reply to but have to endure the process of quitting the application to respond to that urgent SMS. Tough luck because you have no other choice.

As an avid texture, there’s nothing more I would appreciate for a way to avoid that hassle and just quickly reply to a text within the application itself so as to maintain that “flow” that often ruins the iPhone experience.

For all you Jailbreakers, there’s a solution for that and it’s called QuickReply SMS via Cydia which I highly recommend.

Once you receive SMS, You will see the Message box with 3 buttons including Close, View and Reply, If you choose View it will close the current app and launch the default Messages app, If you choose Reply then it pops the Keyboard and text box just like what your default Messages app shows when you reply, only difference is that will be in transparent form. Once you hit the Send button, It will close.

» Subscription Update

I subscribe to my own feed via NetNewsWire just because I’m a little vain like that but most importantly because I like to get a visual of what the published articles, links or photos look like on the reader.

Recently I noticed that nothing was being published in the last 5 days via FeedBurner so I made some minor adjustment to the get the feed back in working order. If you enjoy the content and wish to continue see and read more of it, please feel free to update the feed subscription to my site. I apologize for any inconvenience.

Lens specifications, sample photos and actual real life accounts from users are always great to take in when doing research for a lens but sometimes you want to get that physical sense of what the lens would feel and look like on your camera before buying it online.

Renting or stopping by your local camera store is always an option but for you Nikon users, there’s also a YouTube Channel called Nikon Help Hotline that contains exceptional reviews on every Nikkor lens out in the market as well as detailed tutorials on photography techniques and gear usage.

The bottom line is that American Airlines has talented designers on their UX team, but they’re unable to build a decent web site because the decisions are all made by executives with no taste for design, and no concern for customer experience. The experience of using the aa.com website matches the experience of taking an American Airlines flight: a mess.
– Gruber speaking nothing but the truth. The distaste I have for this company is unlike any other.
