Decided to have a beer with lunch. I noticed the sunlight lighting up the beer so I snapped this. If I could add sound to the photo it would be the sound of the monolith. iPhone 3GS Phone was upside down to get the lens closest to the bottom. Just the normal camera app. -Joe…
This was taken outside the Laundromat last night while I was doing laundry with my Motorola Cliq XT. I didn’t use any apps. I used a ‘shade’ setting and tried to get as much of a silhouette as possible while still catching some color from the scene. Also, you can’t see it but there are…
I took this shot this weekend while working Robert Daltrey performing at a venue in Salina, KS. His drummer has some great blue LED’s lighting his drum kit that I just had to try shooting with my new iPhone 4 camera. I didn’t really do anything other than snap the shot and use iPhoto to…
Taken on my iphone 3GS using Hipstamatic with Lucifer VI lens and Pistil film. This shot was taken when I visited the hospital this week after a random and rather alarming amount bruising a swelling appeared on my hip/groin area as if from nowhere. Whilst I was sitting in the treatment room waiting for the…

Camera: iPhone 3GS. “Tripod”: Rested the iPhone on the glass lazy susan, which also creates great reflections. Today our extended family got to enjoy a Dim Sum lunch at one of the fancier Chinese restaurants. I took this photograph of our niece. I’m curious how the new iPhone’s flash would look in these same conditions.…
Shot at Electric Daisy Carnival 2010 on Saturday night. Lots of love and music in the air. Can’t wait until next year! Shot with my iPhone 4, exposure and contrast handled in Photoshop mobile. -Joel My wife was busy doing our laundry and she kept telling me to go and get more laundry detergent. So…
Well, I only just got my iPhone 3GS (About a month ago…I know…I should have waited for the iPhone 4), so I thought I’d test out the focus and all, and the quality, so I just went into my back yard and saw a few flowers my dad had, so I focused on the Yellow…

Due to longstanding and elaborate liquor laws, it is not particularly easy to buy booze in Pennsylvania. But now the state’s trying to make it a little bit easier—with ID-swiping, breathalyzer-sporting wine bottle vending machines. The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board recently introduced the hulking kiosks in two grocery stores as part of a pilot program,…
Free coffee never gets old, even if it’s instant, but you’ll want to ice it if you’re sweltering on the East Coast like I am. Either way, take a sip and browse the rest of the hot, steamy deals today. Top Deals: • 17.3″ HP Pavilion dv7t Notebook Quad Core i7 Laptop + ATI Radeon…
I’m slowly customizing my new bike with the help of some friends from Ohio. I love it except for one thing: The massive lock that I’ve to use in NYC. This awesome bendable bike, however, doesn’t need any lock. This has to be one of the best bike inventions in the history of bike inventions.…
Adam Carolla of The Adam Carolla Show fame deals with lousy batteries the same way we do: Angrily. What’s wrong with them? Why are we still having to charge stuff every day and deal with dead devices? Carolla explains. Well first off we got the double-A and the triple-A, but I feel like we should…
A new measurement of the proton particle shows that it is 0.00000000000003 millimetres smaller than previously thought. It may seem irrelevant, but physicists are freaking out. I hope this doesn’t mean we are going to cease to exist anytime soon. Since the size of the proton is used in quantum electrodynamics, it means that a…
When Microsoft killed Courier dead, they promised that “it will be evaluated for use in future offerings.” One of those innovations appears to have been the iBooks-like “virtual page turn,” which Microsoft applied to patent in January of 2009. https://gizmodo.com/microsoft-cancels-innovative-courier-tablet-project-5527442 Of course, “innovation” is here used loosely, since there are other very similar technologies out…
If your iPhone 4 was backordered to arrive July 14th, it’s quite possible that it’s now in transit (at least according to one multiple reader tips). And if it’s in transit already, it’s also quite possible that you’ll receive that iPhone a bit before the 14th. [Thanks Timothy!]
This week’s issue of Time Out New York is all in 3D. No more, please! I beg of you! It’s bad enough that studios are cramming mediocre 3D and more expensive ticket prices down our throats, but do we really need a magazine to be in 3D? Zeke Turner at the Observer took it for…
The latest big magazine iPad app is here: Popular Mechanics. It’s very possibly the best. Though for now, it’s a glorified beta test. https://gizmodo.com/popular-mechanics-ipad-app-the-future-of-magazines-al-5552315 That is, Pop Mech’s Interactive Edition isn’t the first “issue” of monthly apps—those won’t arrive until later this year—it’s more of a tech demo that mixes up older and newer material…
Oops! It looks like Argentinian “researcher” Ch Russo hacked The Pirate Bay, acquiring a whopping four million usernames, email addresses and IP addresses. I didn’t even realize you could sign up for an account at The Pirate Bay! If you’ve just visited the site and downloaded some things, you should be fine, as you don’t…
