TSA and US Air: It’s a conspiracy!

  1. US Air charges for drinks, which means you have to carry money on the plane.
  2. The TSA and DHS can seize any paper you carry with you across the border.
  3. You can only take drinks on the plane purchased after security screening.

So, everything you eat and drink is bought in the airport or on the plane with cash that the TSA can seize as a paper item at any time. I’d like to get in on this business, please.

Request: Better location bar for OmniWeb and Safari

Firefox 3 has a two-line format for bookmark/history titles which makes good use of screen space:

OmniWeb 5.8 puts it all in one line:

My request is for OmniWeb to use a two line method of displaying so we can better see the link title.

Side note is that Safari does not do it at all:

Wordpress app for the iPhone

I am posting from the Wordpress app for the iPhone! Very easy setup, very easy to use, and free. I have used some of the admin plugins but they never worked well. This app allows me to comfortably type and offers a very simple method for me to save drafts in progress - local draft storage is very cool. Adding tags, categories, and publishing are also easily done.
Adding photos is likewise simple. You can take a photo live or from the library - this means no uploading and linking later.
Preview is very slick - you get to see how your post will appear within your blog.

Highly recommended if you have an iPhone and a Wordpress blog.

Interesting info re: .Mac accounts

From the .Me page, info re: email-only accounts:

Can I purchase additional Email Only accounts?
Email Only accounts have been discontinued. Only existing Email Only accounts may still be renewed. If you would like to share your MobileMe account with other family members, you may purchase a Family Pack upgrade in the Account section of me.com at any time during your subscription.

Current email-only accounts do have push email - something I did not notice before:

I have an Email Only account. How does that work now?
MobileMe will now push your email over the air to your iPhone and iPod touch, and you can also access your email at me.com and on your Mac and Windows PC. However, your Address Book data will not be synced.

Quite pleased I got an account for the wife before email-only accounts were stopped!

OmniFocus for iPhone video guide

OmniGroup has posted a video guide to OmniFocus for iPhone. If you are curious as to how location services works with OmniFocus, the video does a nice quick explanation. As a side note, Michaela’s voice reminds me of GLaDOS from Portal.
