iPhone Apps

Even though I don’t have an iPhone I still am interested in creating iPhone Applications. I have a news website (swfl-news.com) that caters to Southwest Florida and I was missing out on the mobile market. This week I started to look at how to create a basic but functional iPhone Web App. Here are two sites that I thought I would share for people looking to get started.

  1. iPhone Web UI
  2. iPhone Tester

I will post my iPhone app when it is completed later this week.

Sabres Win in OT

We are back from the Buffalo Sabres, Tampa Bay Lighting game.  It was fantastic!  This was my fist game in the Tampa arena, and was pretty impressed.  I have posted photos here of the game.  Oh yea Buffalo won in OT.  There were lots of Sabres fan and at one point in the arena the chant was “Let go Buffalo”.  This also was the chant outside the arena when walking to the car.

Gone, Not To Far, Now Back

Wow it’s been busy.  Work has been taking most of my life since my last post and probably will continue till December 1st.  I have been trying not to let it take over so I haven’t been doing any work on the weekends.  This Saturday Jen and I are going up to Tampa to see the Buffalo Sabres Vs. Tampa Bay Lighting Hockey Game.  I am really excited; I haven’t been to a NHL game in about 2 years.

It’s the end of October and our first cold front has pushed through Southwest Florida.  It has been in the 90’s and humid every day and when the temp and humidity drops, even if it’s just to 80 you feel it.  Fortunately today when I left for work the temperature was 66.  Last night we were able to have dinner on the lanai and it was comfortable.

NHL Center Ice has taken over my TV life.  This is pretty much all that I like to do at night time.  Throw on a game and work on the computer.  The best part is that I have seen all the Buffalo Sabres Games so far, though 3-5 isn’t anything to brag about.  14 channels of hockey probably was the best $149.00 I spent (at least on TV programming).

I have ordered my new TV!  It’s a Sony (go figure) 50’ SXRD Rear Projection (Model: KDS-50A3000).  This is going to make watching TV so much better.  Jen thinks it’s to big but I guarantee she will love it.  I can’t wait to see the Wink News cast in high def and Hockey.  I sense more TV watching coming on.

Kids!

These are so funny. However, this may be why kids act the way they do these days. I had a good laugh. The audio may not be safe for your work.

Syracuse, NY – Custody Battle

Did you see this in the paper this morning? A truly sad story…

Syracuse, NY(AP) – A seven-year old boy was at the center of a Onondaga County courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with the child custody law requiring that family unity be maintained to the highest degree possible.The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her.When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried and said that they also beat him.

After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.

After two recesses to check legal references and confer with the child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Syracuse University Football Team, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.
