Simplify Media adds Photos to the mix

Written by David Schlottman on August 24th, 2009. Leave a comment

I downloaded the new app from Simplify Media last week for viewing photos from you iPhoto library on your iPhone. Simply Media for photos uses the same Mac or PC application as Simplify Media for your music files. On the iPhone, it is a separate application.

I had some trouble with the caching of the photos from the Mac’s library to the iPhone.

Kudos to Thomas Distributing

Written by David Schlottman on August 24th, 2009. Leave a comment

I bought a battery for my son’s notebook computer last Fall from Thomas Distributing. By January, the battery would no longer hold a charge (notorious for the Dell Inspiron B120 and B130 series). I contacted Thomas Distributing about a warranty replacement (battery was warranted for one year). They sent me a new replacement right away and then credited my account when I returned the old battery.

So hard to decide which tool

Written by David Schlottman on August 24th, 2009. Leave a comment

I have been trying out several posting services lately with the purpose of easily moving video from my iPhone to several locations on the web. I have tried using Qik, which I like and which also now allows me to post video from the iPhone while connected with 3G service. I also use Posterous, a simple blogging, aggregating service (there may be better ways to describe Posterous), to post videos, audio clips, and photos.

Will you still love me tomorrow…

My lawn needs mowing again. It will get mowed today or tomorrow or in a day or two, but it will get mowed and then my lawn will be fine – for about a week or so. Then it needs to be mowed again. My lawn is not different from your lawn or from most anyone else.

If this rain keeps up another day, I might get the ax and go hunting for a gopher wood tree. Anybody know where there is a good deal on tar pitch?

Goodbye for now…

Written by David Schlottman on August 21st, 2009July 26th, 2014. 1 Comment

I find it tough to say goodbye, especially to loved ones. I took my second oldest son to the airport this morning. As a guy, I was all focused in on the task at hand. Wake him up (he was out nearly all night), find out the weight on his two large bags to check, and get to the airport in time to hopefully get his seat assignment changed.

Shawn Craig of PCD on Depression

Written by David Schlottman on August 5th, 2009July 27th, 2014. Leave a comment

Found this earlier today, some good thoughts…

While battling depression and thoughts of suicide, Shawn Craig was spoken to by the book of Deuteronomy where it says “God will never let you go”. God’s hand will hold you wherever you are or if you’ve “made your bed in hell”.

Hunter, Carter, and I enjoyed going to the Metrodome Saturday night to see the Twins take on the Angels. We had a great night even though the home team stunk!

Review of Kindle 2

I have been putting this off for a long time. It lives as a task on my to do list and I have some sticky note reminders. What is it? It is my review of the Kindle 2 from Amazon. It’s not that I don’t like the Kindle. It’s not that I don’t enjoy writing and posting reviews.
