Alice N 3D & Mall

The whole family went to the mall today and Charity and I got our hair cut! Yes I even got my eyebrows waxxed! But the best part is we went to see Alice in Wonderland.

More on the movie after the showing… Here now, yep another iPhone blog!

…k, seen the movie and it was great besides the fact that Jack Sparrow was in it, lol. Nah I enjoyed it and really enjoyed my full day with my Charity and kids all about Columbia. Good times for sure!

Ps: Charity has nothing to say to you guys, rude huh?

Render Render Render

It feels like I spend most of my time staring at render, status and progress screens in between working on all my projects. And today I got 4 different scripts to create these commercials by the weekend! Luckily finished three of them for the most part today so just 1 left to finish tomorrow!
Ps: my first real iPhone mobile post

Apple iPad, no thanks!

From looking on Gizmodo, Engadget and other sites, mostly Twit Live, I came to the final conclusion. You let me down Apple. You have fun with that device. Thats just gonna be another thing I will never own unless you can impress me with the developed apps that are coming, but honestly. I don’t want this at all, let me count the ways!

  1. Big, Ugly Bezel
    Have you seen the bezel on this thing?! It’s huge! I know you don’t want to accidentally input a command when your thumb is holding it, but come on.
  2. No Multitasking
    This is a backbreaker. If this is supposed to be a replacement for netbooks, how can it possibly not have multitasking? Are you saying I can’t listen to Pandora while writing a document? I can’t have my Twitter app open at the same time as my browser? I can’t have AIM open at the same time as my email? Are you kidding me? This alone guarantees that I will not buy this product.
  3. No Cameras
    No front facing camera is one thing. But no back facing camera either? Why the hell not? I can’t imagine what the downside was for including at least one camera. Could this thing not handle video iChat?
  4. Touch Keyboard
    So much for Apple revolutionizing tablet inputs; this is the same big, ugly touchscreen keyboard we’ve seen on other tablets, and unless you’re lying on the couch with your knees propping it up, it’ll be awkward to use.
  5. No HDMI/HD Video Out
    Want to watch those nice HD videos you downloaded from iTunes on your TV? Too damned bad! If you were truly loyal, you’d just buy an AppleTV already.
  6. The Name iPad
    Get ready for Maxi pad jokes, and lots of ‘em!
  7. No Flash
    No Flash is annoying but not a dealbreaker on the iPhone and iPod Touch. On something that’s supposed to be closer to a netbook or laptop? It will leave huge, gaping holes in websites. I hope you don’t care about streaming video! God knows not many casual internet users do. Oh wait, nevermind, they all do.
  8. Adapters, Adapters, Adapters
    So much for those smooth lines. If you want to plug anything into this, such as a digital camera, you need all sorts of ugly adapters. You need an adapter for USB for god’s sake.

Google’s Nexus One, who’s da mastah?

SHO NUFF!!!

What I like:
- UI is much better, OS seems fairly fast and responsive.
- Google Maps Navigation.
- Solid HTC hardware. About the size of an iPhone, feels good in the hand/pocket.
- The bundled apps are excellent with (obviously) deep Google integration.
- 5MP camera w/flash, options to set white balance, effects, location, and focus.

What I didn’t like:
- Some UI inconsistencies between Google apps.
- GPS sucks the battery down pretty fast.
- There are only a handful of good Android apps, most of them are written by Google.

Final thoughts:
Android based phones have always seemed ..how to put this.. Linux-like. That is, solid and utilitarian but lacking the eye candy and attention to detail. This phone/OS release closes the gap on the iPhone, but doesn’t overtake it. That said, if my favorite iPhone apps make the jump to android I’d seriously consider making this my full-time phone when the Verizon model is released. Nice job Google, you’ve come a long way in a short amount of time.

So with that, I want to know what phone is your baby?

What phone operating system is your baby?

Streaming from my iPhone

iphone_streamingFor the past 2 1/2 years now off and on I have been streaming what I guess I would call a live webshow from 337Studios.tv using Ustream for the most part. I have ventured into Justin.tv and Stickcam as well and even thought about paying for BitGravity, but I dont get any money out of doing any of the streaming so the shows have been slim on account of me deciding to do actual work for clients and not spend any time streaming any of the stuff. Most of the time it would tax my CPU which was the main computer I also produced designs and music on. Well I have recently got a netbook that can handle the streaming part as well as Apple allowing Ustream to have a native live broadcasting app on the iPhone now. So I am gonna try to go back to streaming alot more. Especially since lately I have had more musical clients as well as some fun video editing projects with DVD menus and stuff I could have been showing off but mostly what I miss is some freestyle friday and some just getting buzzed and hanging with a group of artists making stuff.


So with all that being said, I have talked with a few previous cohosts and artists and we will start bringing back the funk. Anyway we can, lol! So just like the previous show, I have a new setup for the more mobile version. Overall if your following @Skettalee on twitter then you should be fine to see when any of the versions of the show go live and can come join us in chat or even call in when we aren’t doing the mobile version. So check the links below and leave your feedback on what you mostly want to see.

New Website: Paper Your Screen .com

paperyourscreen

I just released a new website with a few other graphic designers called PaperYourScreen.com. This website is in its very beginning stages but overall I want a place to put all the designs I make for my iPhone as well as a place for other designers that I know. I hope this website will build alot more and mostly I just programmed the back end so its easy to organize and setup the wallpapers per each designer so far and there is alot left to add to this site, but please dont let that steer you away from checking out, rating and commenting on the various wallpaper designs that are made. If you have an iPhone, then this is a great add to your favorites when you want to go look for some new wallpapers.

Though at the time of this post we only have iPhone wallpapers, I am working on adding wallpapers for any screen size and type, hence the name paper your screen! So please go check out the webpage and start rating and commenting the images in there so far. The design of the site will be changing alot so please come back if not to see the wonderfully designed new wallpapers from various artists but also for the new layout changes we will be adding as we go.
