Dr. Horrible Panel @ San Diego Comic Con
A friend and I were lucky enough to get into the Dr. Horrible Panel at the San Diego Comic Con last week. Finally, somebody posted the panel on YouTube.
Part of me still can’t believe I was in the same room as these people. I guess I’m still a little bit star struck.

San Diego Comic Con 2008
This is my first foray into the San Diego Comic Con. I really didn’t know what to expect except for the size of the convention itself. Even having that in mind, I was still floored by the immensity of the attendance. People from all over the world, from all walks of life came here to share in their passion for the “contemporary creative arts.”
I was so overwhelmed by everything I didn’t take as many photos as I thought I would. Also, it got so packed I couldn’t even stop to take a photo. Most of these photos were taken “in passing” and as such, came out fairly blurry.
Oh well, I’ll know what to expect next year. 
I took the time to annotate most of the photos, so enjoy!
WordPress App for iPhone
The free WordPress application for the iPhone is all sorts of handy. I just wrote this entire post, screenshot and all, from my iPhone.
Only caveats so far are the inability to do URL links and lack of control over placement of inline images.
A Political Campaign That Speaks to Me
Sean Tevis is an Information Architect running for State Representative of Kansas. He created a comic, in homage to XKCD, to tell his story thus far.
Highly entertaining, but not a joke. I think we need more guys like Sean running for office.

Free iPhone Apps
Okay, I’m nearly wetting my underoos in eager anticipation of the iPhone App store tomorrow. The iTunes 7.7 software update is already available in preparation for all the iPhone Apps.
Lifehacker has a great list of free (and awesome) apps that will be available.
Which free apps am I most excited about?
- Remote – controlling your iTunes library via local wifi
- Google Mobile – think “Quicksilver” for your iPhone (written by the same guy who wrote Quicksilver”
- NetNewsWire - RSS reader that syncs between a desktop app, a web app, and now my iPhone

Is there hope for the United States?
According to science-fiction blog io9, the United States will cease to exist as we know it for the following 5 reasons:
- Too many internal divisions
- A decadent culture
- Too much military, not enough social welfare
- Citizens do not trust their government
- No science and engineering leadership
Check out the original article for a detailed explanation. What do you think?

del.icio.us to Firefox
Firefox 3′s “awesome bar” is just that. If you start adding tags to your bookmarks, the awesome bar becomes a website launcher akin to Quicksilver for the Mac or Launchy for Windows. If you have a del.icio.us account and want to take full advantage of Firefox 3, check out this handy tool which merges your del.icio.us bookmarks with your Firefox bookmarks and preserves all of the tags.
