Time you enjoy wasting isn't wasted time.

DTXTR – Teenage TXT Translation Tool

This is a completely serious website aimed at educating parents on the completely indecipherable SMS shorthand affectionately referred to as TXTing to the youth of today.

ROFLMAO.

In all seriousness, though, I think this is a potentially handy reference for people, IMHO.

iPhone OS 3.0 Update

Audiobook Upgrade

I’ve successfully updated my family’s respective iPhones to version 3.0 of the firmware. No horror stories to share from me, though I am a tad bit annoyed by the extra page of applications that was inserted to make room for the new Voice Memo app. Instead of just pushing the applications over by one to make room, the update inserted a blank page and pushed one application onto it. Bleh.

There are plenty of articles on the interwebs describing the hottest features in the 3.0 update (like auto-authentication at any AT&T Wi-Fi Hotspot), but one upgrade that I didn’t see written about was how the iPod app handles audiobooks. There are two new buttons: one that rewinds you back 30 seconds, and one that increases the playback speed. I love this.

How did the update go for you?
