TripCast iPhone App for the Jeep

by

Oh wow, every vehicle needs it’s very own iPhone app! Case in point, TripCast iPhone app for Jeep owners – a perfect pairing for a cool, LBS app! The app provides users with the ability to store trips and also share notes, points, and media captured along the way. the app also integrates with facebook or twitter and provides some interesting POI information. I don’t have a Jeep but I think I may want one even more now!

More about the app… Adventurers can explore more than 250,000 outdoor recreational spots included in the app’s map. Video, audio clips, status updates, photos and music can be collected and pinned to check-in points along the route and shared real-time with family and friends as the trip progresses on Facebook and Twitter. Later, the journey can be stored and shared as an electronic scrapbook of memories. See the official PR here



The Nokia E73 Mode at Work and Play Beach Video

by

Recall early in September I had the pleasure of being invited to take part in a fun, promotional opportunity from Nokia. The event involved several tech bloggers, some cool mobile devices,  lots of food and drink, and the beach! The event generated loads of hype, resulted in loads of media sharing including some hands on videos, articles, and photos. From Nokia it also resulted in a cool promotional video captured over the 2 days… check it out!  For more about the E73 Mode see Getting Down To Business, and Play With The Nokia E73 Mode California Beach House Style






Sometimes you get the money shot… if you wait!

If you follow me and my writings then you are likely well aware that I love taking photos… indeed, if you ever spot me at a conference or event of any kind I’ll typically have at least one camera in tow. I’m into tech photography (ie. snapping photos of gadgets and people using gadgets) but I’m also into scenery, particularly urban photography and anything near water! Last night was a perfect opportunity for me to snap a few frames at the beach as the sky was clear, the sun was setting behind me, and a very close to being full moon was bright and rising fast. The results were some cool photos that make me realize exactly why I enjoy pausing and preserving the moment. Below is an image captured at sunset on the final day of summer, here in Victoria B.C, Canada that I wanted to share (you can find a few more images from the shoot HERE on my Flickr as well)… I hope you enjoy!


Some things are worth the wait as Zoe and I hung around for about an hour to grab this photo
