iPhoneography

Just found out that iPhone photography is extremely popular nowdays. There is a special term for this - iphonography. And a lot of various resources exist - applications for image processing, blogs, photo galleries. For example this group on flickr is dedicated to images processed with CameraBag application. And there are a lot of others. As for blogs so the first resource I found is the best camera community, and today I’ve subscribed to iphoneography.com blog with not only pictures but with a lot of showcases and stories of professional photograpers who uses their iPhones for fun (for example this blog of Scott Macdonald). Interesting.

Text notes

After all my attempts to find an ideal iPhone application for making text notes with online access and bidirectional synchronization made a decision to use Evernote. I’ve tested just three applications - standard iPhone Notes, Simplenote and Evernote.

Nuff

Just flicked through all the articles on lifehack/productivity/minimalism/etc I had in Instapaper and most of them archived without reading. I’m fed up with all this stuff and saying to myself - enough. We have huge amount of “pro photographers” these days, but even more it seems like we have much more gurus teaching us how to live our lives. Let’s say them thank you and good bye.

Minus 4

As a continuation of this. Closed:

• twitter.com/sandlex
• twitter.com/vocrecaptor
• juick.com/sandlex
• public.fotki.com/sandlex

Reasons almost the same - the first three services are not useful for me, the last one looks ugly with terrible amount of ads and contained a lot of pictures which I’d prefer not to keep online (or even on my local hard drive) :-)
