Wordstock and iPhone
Oct. 9th, 2009 11:11 pmWordstock, Portland's
annual Festival of the Book, begins tomorrow at the Oregon Convenion
Center. Last year
jaylake and I were on the program,
but not this year -- they don't like to have people come back year
after year. I'll be in the Oregon Writers Colony booth from 1:00
to 3:00 on Saturday, volunteering for one hour, selling and signing
copies of Space Magic for the other hour. Stop by and say
hi.

In other news, I finally succumbed to temptation and bought an
iPhone. It is very cool and shiny. kateyule and I
have a family plan, so if you ignore the cost of the new phone we're
actually saving a little money per month. I've already loaded it
up with the following apps: AAA Roadside (call for assistance),
Facebook, LiveJournal, MetrO (worldwide subway trip planner), Nambu
(Twitter client), Notespark (sync and share notes), NPR (read and
listen to news), PDX Bus (find a bus stop and when the next bus
arrives), Peak.ar (augmented reality app that shows the names of
the nearest mountains), and Urbanspoon (restaurant finder). What's
your favorite app?
