Looks like I'm not the only one trying out Flipboard this morning.

This looks interesting.

Hey, Apple, This "No SIM Card Installed" Message Is Getting Old

At one point in the day on June 29, I had to restart my iPhone 4 every 3-4 minutes. It hasn't happened yet today... but it's early.

Strange iPhone Mail Glitch

I had to restart to fix this one... already deleted emAils were showing up with no data and no way to be deleted. Once I restarted the iPhone and opened mail again, it corrected itself.

No SIM Card Installed? #phone4

This is the third time I've received this message in the last 12 hours, even though I have a SIM card installed in this iPhone 4. Restarting the phone fixes it, but it's annoying. This is why I pag for AppleCare on new devices. :)

Anyone else having similar problems?

Duke Or Mayor?

Now that Yelp has joined the "game" game and I can be a Duke, being a Mayor seems very ho hum. And if you're among those who thought being a Mayor sounded silly, Duke or Dutchess probably sounds downright ridiculous. Or does it?

TypeDrawing - Fun With Type

If you're looking for a fun diversion, or a creative app for your kids, TypeDrawing could be for you. I was not a fan on the small iPhone screen, but on the iPad it becomes a fun art app.

Moving Up My iPhone App Chart With A Plastic Bullet

It usually takes a while for an app to make it to the front page of my iphone. AutoStitch made it after the first test. So did Hipstamatic and Photoshop Mobile. And now, I have moved Plastic Bullet from Red Giant Software to the front page as well. I have a fascination with iPhone photo manipulation apps that mimic analog cameras. Plastic Bullet fits that description.

Part of the joy of the "plastic camera" simulation apps, like Hipstamatic, is the surprise factor. You're never quite sure how the photo is going to turn out. Red Bullet provides a different take on this theme by allowing you to pull photos from your library for processing. It then presents you with random results in sets of four. If you don't like the ones you get, you just click the refresh button and it provides four more. I've used it all day today, starting at the gym this morning. And I have loved some of the results, like this flower photo

The only downside... once again, it's final image size. Plastic Bullets saves the processed photos at 800x600 pixels. My guess is that they will release an update with higher resolution capabilities. But for how I plan to use it right now, that size will do just fine. I highly recommend.

Facebook, Seriously, You Gotta Be Kidding Me

The new security measures that Facebook has implemented are ludicrous in the extreme.

I am not in California. I am in Virginia. I usually log into Facebook from California. I've never had to think about that fact before, but Facebook has instituted some new security measures to insure that I am me and you are you. Apparently, if you attempt to log into Facebook from an IP address that you don't normally log into, the fine folks at Facebook, concerned with the security of your private data, now want to make sure it's you. Fair enough. In Grand Rapids two days ago, the security measure included a captcha image and my birthday. Perhaps not the most secure question, given that you can find that out on my Facebook page, but, whatever, at least I can answer that one.

When I got to Waynesboro, VA, the security changed to "identify a person in an obscure photo and setting that you may or may not have been involved in." The photos are chosen at random from my friends' photo albums. Not mine. One of the photos last night was from someone else's Jr. High School Yearbook. Today, the first two I was asked to try to identify were profile shots taken at parties. I couldn't even see their faces. No problem, Facebook allows you to say, "I'm not sure" on two photos. But that's it.

So my third photo shows up and it's this one:

Really? These lovely people are all wearing sunglasses. I was not here. I didn't take the photo. I have no context for this photo. I have no idea who this is and if I want to use my account I MUST get all of the photos correct. I can't miss one. I feel like I'm being punked.

Facebook, seriously, you have to be kidding me.
