I’m Looking For Disney World Tips

Epcot CenterIn just a few days, the wife and I will be heading out of Minnesota and into hot and sunny Orlando, Florida!

We plan on visiting all Disney parks and hitting up Universal Studios too. Since that’s a lot to do, we are wondering if anyone has any tips to share?

I already have the Disney iPhone maps on my iPod Touch thanks to WDW Pinpoint. Hopefully the land of dreams has free WiFi!

I have been to Disney World a few times growing up, but this is the first time for the wife. She’s in for a real treat!

iPod WALL•E Desktop Wallpaper

Inspired by the latest iPod commercials, I thought that WALL•E looked like the iPod type.  He is in fact created by Pixar, Apple’s BFF in the movie industry.  So I put together an Apple like WALL•E desktop wallpaper; complete with iPod.

What do you think?  Is WALL•E jammin’ or what? :)

 

8 Things That Baffle Me About My iPod Touch

I’ve been an iPod Touch owner since Christmas and I’ve been very happy.  However, there are still a few things that I just don’t quite get.  Maybe someone can help explain.

  1. Coverflow - It’s a really sweet feature, but the album art seems to only match the song that was playing when Coverflow as activated.  It doesn’t seem to update when the song changes.  Why not?
  2. Google Search - Google has a great iPhone friendly versions of Google Search, yet Safari’s built in search doesn’t use it on my iPod.  It sends you to the regular Google Search results instead, which are hard to read.

Give a Little Love

Have you heard about Idol Gives Back?  More than likely you have.  Have you donated?  The money goes to help kids in our country and others have a better life.  Helping them out with things like books, safe places to live & play and medication.

It’s easy to give back.  You can donate online, by mail or by phone.  Details on the American Idol website.

You can also just open iTunes, click on the Idol Gives Back banner and purchase some music.  Songs from Snoop Dogg, Fergie, Carrie Underwood, Miley Cyrus, Heart and more are available.  That’s a pretty simple way to donate.

Are You Using That Magnet on the iMac?

Metal Apple LogoSo what do you use that magnet on the side of your iMac for? I know my remote isn’t hanging on it. Who knows where that is. However, Scott sent me a video of his iLEVL Copy Holder. It’s a simple metal paper holder that sticks to that magnet in your iMac.

That got me thinking, what would be even cooler? I work in a paperless office, so a paper holder isn’t exactly what I need. What about…

  • iPod/iPhone Cradle - With charging capabilities of course.
  • A cell phone holder.
  • Pencil holder. Kinda lame, but I always loose my pen.

iPod Touch $20 Upgrade Rocks

I admit that paying $20 for a software update to my iPod Touch, less than a month after I got it, is kind of depressing, but I went for it and it’s like I have an all new iPod!

New features include:

  1. Email client. Fully functional email that’s amazing.
  2. Weather app. I love the weather, so this is like candy to me.
  3. Notes. I’ve been using address book for taking notes, not so much anymore. I wish I could do check boxes though too.
  4. Stocks - Not my cup of tea, but I got it.

Blogging on the iPod Touch

What better way to blog than on the go! With the Mobileadmin plugin for Wordpress you can do just that.

The plugin re-works Wordpress’ admin area to fit in with the iPhone and iPod Touch. Actually, this post has been written on my iPod Touch. *Well, up until this point.

iPod Touch BloggingSure blogging on the iPod Touch/iPhone is cool, it takes a bit longer to write a post and the WYSIWYG controls are not available. However, with the Mobileadmin plugin, it makes easier to do and it works remarkably well.

It’s a must have for any blogger on the iPhone or iPod Touch.

Can’t blog now, playing with my iPod Touch!

This year for Christmas, my wife got me an iPod Touch! This little device is extremely cool and I’m completely addicted.

I now have an iPod that plays videos and Handbrake will become my new friend. It also has a calendar built in with two way syncing with iCal. Cool!

And lets not forget Safari. I sit at home on it and surf the net. I’ve already spend hours looking up iPod Touch (or iPhone) web apps. I just wish there was a way to download them and use them offline. I guess I’ll have to wait until February when Apple should start letting developers build offline apps for the iPod Touch.

iPod touch Should Be iPod PDA!

With Apple’s new announcement of iPod touch, I’m ready to buy! (Wife, ignore that.)

iPod touch is basically an iPhone without the phone. Perfect for me as I don’t want to go with ATT. It has a multi touch interface, Wi-Fi and iTunes Store on the iPod! I think I’m in love.

Even better yet, with the Wi-Fi you basically have a PDA. Just go over to Netvibes use that to create notes, checklists and so much more. I don’t see eMail integration, but as long as you can get to the web, you can check webmail. Right?!?!

YamiPod - Free Mac & PC iPod Backup Program

YamiPodWhen I decided to backup my iPod today, I found out my Life2Go application has quit production and was unable to read the music on my iPod. So I went out to MacUpdate to find another. That’s when I came across YamiPod.

YamiPod is a free application for Mac, Windows and Linux that will manage the music on your iPod. I downloaded it, exported all my songs to a DVD and am burning a backup disk as we speak. This is a great example of a free application that just works.
