Get an image of iPhone without iTunes

Found myself needing to get an image off of my iPhone without using iTunes. On my Vista machine it’s easy enough. The iPhone shows up as a device and it’s browsable just like any camera.
Turns out it’s just about that easy on my MacBook.  Fired up Image Capture, selected the phone, and they were there. [...]

…and a test post with myWeblog

Found another offline Wordpress editor to try on my MacBook. This time it’s myWeblog 2.1. I like the looks of it. Seems very Mac-like, which I suppose is a good thing.

One of the things I’m most looking for, and so far only found in myWeblog, is the ability to edit pages. [...]

First post with MarsEdit

If you read the post up from this you’ll see that I just tried out Qumana and wasn’t all that happy with it. It was nice to be able to blog without logging into WordPress, but it had a couple of deal breakers for me.

After using nothing but PCs for the past 15 or so years, getting a MacBook has given me a little more of a learning curve that I was expecting.  Fortunately it’s been pretty intuitive and hasn’t been that bad.  But there’s been one little snag that kept catching me.
By default the tab key does not [...]

Apple Remote – How did I now know about this?

As geeky as I am you would think I would have heard about Apple Remote before this week.  Maybe it’s because I haven’t been an Apple geek until a few weeks ago.
For those of y’all in my shoes, Remote is a program that you run on your iPhone that connects to iTunes on your computer [...]

How to get a screen shot from an iPhone

It’s come up a few times where I’ve needed to get a screen shot from my iPhone.  Turns out there are two ways to do it, one of which is built into the phone.
Easiest way is to hold down the home button and press the power button.  You’ll hear the shutter sound and the screen [...]
