I’m not a programmer, and I don’t own an iPhone or iPod Touch, but the thought of developing an application for this platform interests me. I think I’m going to spend some time going through the App Store to see what is offered and try to think of something that may be missing.
Looks like it’s $99 to join the iPhone Developer Program (Standard) and there may be some financial backing from the iFund to help develop apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
Just got news that Apple will be opening it’s first store here in Central Pennsylvania at Park City in Lancaster!
I absolutely love old photos. Thanks to Dan Cederholm for the link to Shorpy.com. These photos are just amazing and really tell a tale of the history of our country.
Shorpy is a blog about old photos and what life a hundred years ago was like: How people looked and what they did for a living, back when not having a job usually meant not eating.
Many of the jpegs on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress archive. (To query the database click here.) Most were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color using Photoshop CS3, a process that can take around an hour per image.
