iPod Touch Resources

Monday, 30. November 2009 18:30

I’ve recently found a few things that have helped make my iPod Touch a bit easier to use. The first is this set of tips for the iPod touch keyboard. It’s actually helped a lot, especially the ability to type accents.

The other useful item I found is the WordPress 2 app in the iTunes app store. That’s how I generated the recent test post, which means I can now post on the go, even if I don’t have my laptop with me.

Oh, and if you’re wondering how my NaNoWriMo project went… let’s just say I didn’t do so well.

News Bites: Chocolate, Protein and the Brain, and Urban Farming

Monday, 9. November 2009 18:26

I’ve been reading a lot of interesting news tidbits, and thought I’d share. Today’s edition is mostly about food.

Kraft wants to take over Cadbury.

I also stumbled accross an article saying that high protein, low carb diets may contribute to Alzheimers Disease. It’s intriguing and surprising—but also just one study in mice, so the results should be interpreted with caution.

For a new spin on urban farming, look at Detroit. While I’m not moving to detroit anytime soon, the article is a fascinating read, and some of the arial photos are astounding. [Found via the NYT Idea of the Day Blog.]

Maybe the US is just as bad as everyone else when it comes to those who are different.

A Few Monday News Bites

Monday, 2. November 2009 18:07

Problems with racism in South Korea: Fascinating and disappointing. Most days I am very happy I live in a diverse country.

On meat and greenhouse gases: A more nuanced look at how food production affects greenhouse gas emissions. Eating local, traditionally farmed meat might be better than eating non-local but vegetarian products.

As you probably noticed, I’m not including the full references for these, as it’s beginning to seem a bit excessive in a blog post. I think you can figure it out.
