Flicking Flickr

Flickr above, CoolIris below

My friend George Parks shared a great tip today: the CoolIris add-on for Firefox. It changes the dreadfully slow and outdated photo previewing system in Flickr (and some other websites) into a three-dimensional scrolling photo wall you can flick along and zoom in on at will.

It reminds me of a still photo version of the Apple TV’s boot video. This add-on would be even more fun with a touchscreen interface. We are in an exciting age of transition and innovation for computer interfaces.

Bartlesville Gets 3G

Like a satellite galaxy north of Tulsa, Bartlesville now has 3G phone service from AT&T. So my iPhone is speedier than ever when I’m away from the WiFi.

Golly, Google!

Google’s forthcoming update to their Google Mobile iPhone app will add voice search. Should be FUNtastic, given that typing on the iPhone’s virtual keyboard is a pain. The update was just announced, but hasn’t been posted yet to the iTunes store.
