Ocarina: the First iPhone InstrumentNovember 19 2008
Ocarina is the "first true musical instrument created for the iPhone. Ocarina is sensitive to your breath, touch and movements, making it even more versatile than the original [instrument]. Unlike other musical applications, there are no pre-compiled riffs so musicians will find unlimited opportunities for self-expression. Advanced options allow you to choose between diatonic, minor and harmonic scales."

Take Part in Citizen Journalism for the 2008 U.S. ElectionsNovember 3 2008
Many Americans have already participated in early voting, but millions more will be voting this Election Day on November 4, 2008. If you follow me on Twitter, you're already aware of my political views and my support for Barack Obama. Whether or not you agree with my choice, I know you'll agree that as citizens we have the right and duty to vote, and to do our part to make sure the voting process is fair. As digital citizens, there are many ways to do this. I wanted to highlight a few that have come to my attention and urge you to take part.

Creating Panoramic Photos With Your iPhoneOctober 22 2008
One of the main reasons I use my iPhone is to take quick photos. Even though the 2 megapixel camera isn't the highest quality, it's the convenience and added iPhone functionality (eg. emailing) and the applications that I enjoy. One of my new favorite apps is Pano by Debacle Software (download from iTunes), which lets you take seamless panoramic photos through the iPhone's native camera.

QR Codes: Mobile TaggingOctober 17 2008
I've heard about QR codes for years and Googled for them long ago before they were readily available for consumers, but for some reason tonight, they popped into my mind again and I decided to look them up. I was excited to see that you can make your own QR code easily online. In simple terms, a QR code is a graphic 2D barcode that stores information, such as addresses, URLs, business card info, or anything else. Scanning the code with software on your camera-enabled mobile phone will automatically launch a browser to the specified destination. More from the Wikipedia entry below.
