I love this piece by Chopin, so I’ve decided to share my performance of it played with an iPhone game called PianoMan. The game is glitchy, sometimes the notes get messed up. The one time I play it without missing a note the game glitches on the last note of the first ascent, I was so mad. Also check out my world record breaking performance of Turkish March. I have the #1 score in the world in front of all the Japanese and Korean guys, they hate me so much.

I’ve been learning the iPhone software development kit and programming in Objective-C. Objective C is weird. Anyway here are my first apps I’ve written while studying tutorials for a few days.

How’s it done? Here is a video showing how I used the iPhone SDK to make these apps.

Yawesome. When I first got my 3GS I tried to strap it to my RC car, but I have a mini RC car so the 3GS was heavier than the car. Maybe I can strap it to my cat.

Here are my favorite rumors about the next iPhone from Apple.  Most are well substantiated based off analysis of the 3.0 software update, iLife ‘09 capabilities, and manufacturer reports such as Apple purchasing massive quantities of solid state storage.  Jobs may even be feeling good enough to give the keynote at Apple’s Worldwide Developers’ Conference on June 9th, where he can announce the glorious new iPhone, which will likely go on sale July 11th.

This Saturday it was so sunny and pleasant outside we decided to visit the cherry blossoms in DC. We drove to the metro station which was thoroughly packed, when the train pulled up it was packed too, even though there is only one station before us. At each stop more and more people packed in, the crowd was full of murmurs about cherry blossoms.

The metro ride was worth it because the cherry blossoms were beautiful. We were lucky enough to run into a badass peditaxi rider (a bicycle with a two person carriage attached). He took us from the Tidal Basin to the White House in only a few minutes, weaving through cars and once or twice on the wrong side of the road, it was awesome.

This is my second HD YouTube video. I used Path Tracker, an iPhone 3G application to track our movements for over two hours. Below is the raw GPS data from Path Tracker.

This is a tour of a 3D building of Evolver in Google Earth. The intro animation was made in flash, then overlaid over a Google Earth video render with Adobe Premiere.
