Check out this new company called Square. It turns your iPhone into a point of sale device. iPhone’s, iTouch’s and the new iTablet (set to announce tomorrow) are natural fits for cost effective point of contact devices. Why pay high prices for a specialized point of contact device when you can just write an app?
This has to to be one of the funniest scenes in movie history. They don’t make comedies like they used to.
I really wish that Trey would venture out west more often — another season of no west coast shows.

Interesting TechCrunch post — is Augmented Reality the future or a fad? The only way to find out — build something. :-)
Very interesting TED Talk about Bertrand Piccard’s quest to travel through the night in solar powered plane.
I have become dependent enough on my iPhone that even the most subtle upgrades in performance, disk and battery life is worth the money to upgrade. It’s really my primary mobile tool for so many things — these are my to 12 tasks I do on my iPhone (list is subject to change):
Today, I tried to upgrade my older 16 GB 3G phone to the new 32 GB 3GS phone. I figured the performance and addition storage space alone would make it worth it — plus, since I’m working on an iPhone application, I would benefit from having the new gear. Well, to my dismay, I didn’t qualify for the discount and would have had to of payed $499 for the 32 GB 3GS. Insane.
I guess I’ll need to wait until March 2010 for me to qualify for an upgrade. By then, I’m hoping for a new iPhone model and a new wireless carrier.
Interesting talk at TEDxUSC by David Logan on Tribal Leadership.

Here is a recent blog post by John Battelle on his thought on DigitalGlobe after an interview with our co-founder, Walter Scott.
Phish played Shoreline Amphitheater 8/5/2009 and what a show it was. It was a blast from past — it had been several years since I had seen them last. They sounded great — the only unfortunate thing was I didn’t get a “Slave” and the show was sandwiched between two of my favorite venues — Red Rocks and the Gorge. Those setlists were awesome.

This morning I completed the San Francisco 1/2 Marathon — I did the second half and it was my first. What an amazing experience! Here are things I gleamed from the experience:
Now, I can work on my golf game since I won’t be training for another event, but maybe I need to be thinking about another event!
