Traffic JamCam App

trafficcam  How about an app that let’s you peep in on live traffic cameras in major metro areas?  This iPhone app is nice enough to let you peep live traffic cameras of metro ATL’s major interstates and other problem areas; just type in a street/intersection and select your eye(s) in the sky. You can also check a zoomed-out "Map" view, upon which the status (green flags for flowing, red for stalled) of the streets is overlaid. It’s available in the appstore and called “TrafficJamCam Atlanta.”  Now we just need an app for red light cameras.

Flash on your iPhone

frash1Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs had posted an open letter elaborating on the reasons why Apple has chosen not to allow Adobe Flash on their platform. It’s a big mistake for the moment until HTML 5 becomes a reality  – but now there is a hack called Frash.

The following may void your warranty …

You can follow these instructions to install Frash on your iPhone:

  • If you haven’t jailbroken your iPhone then use JailbreakMe to jailbreak it.

  • Launch Cydia from your jailbroken iPhone homescreen.

  • Tap on the Manage Tab and then tap on Sources.

  • Tap on the Edit button and then tap add to add the following repo URL to add sources: http://repo.benm.at/

  • After it is successfully installed, tap on the Search tab and search for frash.

Technology can help a guys love life

I ran across a great site – helpaguyout.com – that will enhance a guys love life without drugs and put some money in a girls wallet.  Guys can ask a woman a question on relationships and dating and get an answer from a female perspective.  It will cost you $2 to ask a question guys!  And the woman that answers gets to keep $1 of that payment.  The cool thing is it’s all anonymous – you don’t know who asks and who answers.  Try it, you can’t lose a lot unless you have so many questions …

If you want to save a few bucks and get some great love tips guys … visit Raphael’s facebook page.  I think he could even teach a caveman some romance.  This site is free and funny! They are currently giving away a trip for two to Portugal and 25 cans of gourmet Queen Of The Coast tuna (the sponsor) a week.  This site is fun but seriously guys, it could help you become the romeo you desire to be!

So is it love or money that makes the world go round?

Flipboard – cool, very new news app!

FlipboardFlipboard – is a revolutionary News App for the iPad

 

Flipboard pulls data from your Facebook and Twitter accounts and builds a “social magazine” around it. This is not your traditional news app. It’s not just a RSS feed reader, and it’s not a photo gallery either. Flipboard is a new way to discover content. It collects links, pictures and everything else you have on Twitter and creates a magazine around them. A magazine where comments are retweets, and you are the curator of the content you want to see. It looks great, too: typography is tasty, animations are sexy, this app is very polished.

Facebook said the number was "an important milestone" and added that it was "humbled and inspired" by the stories of its users, which it is asking people to share on the site. Everybody it seems – wants to share with their friends.  Look how it started small and how fast it grew!

Flashlight App Briefly Brought Unofficial Tethering To The iPhone

Handy Light iPhone app

According to the description of Handy Light, an iPhone app developed by Nick Lee, its a convenient flashlight for the iPhone, which lets you choose from 5 colors of light. Is it worth $0.99?  No, but inside this app was a little easter egg that allows you to use your phone as a modem or tethering to your iPhone. AT&T charges monthly for the teathering feature.

Update:

Handy Light has been removed from the App Store.

Functional Sweatshirt with Buds

bud_sweat Classic design and yet so functional. These hoodies have ear buds built in – they are the drawstrings! When I saw these I had to share – what a great idea.  They are cotton/poly fleece hoodies from a legendary surf brand and come in your choice of black, blue, or gray, and have a black & white checkered hood outfitted with functioning earbud drawstrings that connected to an input jack in the pocket. To top it off, they’re safe to put in the washer. Available from Kona and other retailers -what a great idea.
