Mugshot: Status @ 4 Weeks

Here’s a 14MB video of Mugshot in action. Performance right now ain’t that great - but I haven’t done much to try and alleviate that yet - it’s way too early. I’m having to constantly weigh how much bandwidth and disk space I’m sucking up by caching several sizes of photos. On one hand, having [...]

What I’d Add to the iPod shuffle.

I got a new iPod shuffle a few weeks ago. I use it instead of my iPod photo while I’m running and so far, I love it! This is my *fourth* iPod and it’s a welcome addition. However, I have one little quibble with it…
