From Brendan Dawes’ set on Flickr highlighting a forthcoming iPhone app called “The Accidental News Explorer”.
This looks like a splendid little app. And on the iPhone first, no less. All this iPad focus has left me feeling a little jealous.

A former ad executive takes the opprtunity to edit a bio piece on himself. As Chris Tacy says in a tweet earlier today…
A GREAT illustration of how “publishing” is failing to see the new reality. The control relationship has changed.

I’m almost done with my Bachelor’s (does one capitalize “Bachelor’s” … oh what the hell, I’ve earned it) and it’s time to look at the world that I am about to enter and find something interesting to do with the degree I’m hanging on the wall at the end of this coming semester.

Mike Davidson – CEO of Newsvine – has a blog entitled Mike Industries and in addition to being a collection of original writings on technology and the like, it is a rich cornucopia of “found video and links”. As such, it is a wonderful place to waste some time feeding your brain some entertaining ephemera.

A House by the Park is a “a first-hand chronology of the design, planning, and construction of a modern home in Seattle.”
The house itself is already finished – who knows weather there will be more posts added to the blog – but as a record of the experience of building a custom designed home A House by the Park has great potential utility for anyone out there about to embark on a similar architectural journey. A near perfect use-case for the blog “form” (if you will).

Engadget has posted their review of Apple’s new iPhone. Better battery life and, at least in comparison to iPhone 3G, a more responsive and less lagg-prone UI coupled with a better (and faster as well!) camera = all I ever wanted in an updated iPhone.
Let the salivation continue.

Joe Barton (R – TX) apologized to BP’s CEO for what he called the “shakedown” they received at the hands of the Obama administration in the creation of the $20 million fund designed to help those effected by the oil eruption (the best word I have come across, by the way, to describe what has been ineffectively called a “spill”) in the Gulf of Mexico.

In a piece called “The Very Angry Tea Party”, J.M. Bernstein compares the anger displayed by those who count themselves as members of the Tea Party to the sort of anger displayed by a jilted lover:

Just as it looked as if AT&T just miiiight be using their brains while making changes to how they charge for data, they reveal themselves to be the same greedy little bastards they’ve always been. At the introduction of the iPad a couple months ago AT&T introduced their much-lauded pay-as-you-go data plan for the device. They just dropped it like a hot rock. Way to stay steady, guys.
When are we going to get a new cell phone company, one that understands that people are willing to pay for value and that shows some respect for its customers? They’re is a gaping hole of opportunity. via Daring Fireball.
