With electricity comes internet and today the Mac is hooked up (via Airport, of course) to the new DSL connection here in the apartment. So this is my first anythings online from the new digs. W00t! Now to walk around my new home with the iPhone and test the connection.

So I’ve gotten really tired of stumbling through the different websites to look at my favorite web comics on my iPhone when some of those sites don’t translate well to the little device (cough, Cyanide and Happiness, cough). So I look through the App Store and try to find something simple, cheap and effective and I found it with a little program called Kapow! by Ross Cooper.

Kapow! is sweet, it’s cheap and it works really well.

And because Mar over at Monkey Punchers and me are buddies (read: we have lunch together) it was great that Ross will add a comic into Kapow! real quick if you just email him the address and RSS feed. So, as a photographer, I submitted What The Duck, too. Ross wrote me back the next day, told me they were in the program, I bought it…smooth sailing. Thanks for the great program, Ross. It’s simple and only does one thing, but it does it well.

At the iTunes App Store: Buy it or, try it for free.

And here’s the best birthday present of all: Apple today releases the iPhone 2.0 software update, the iTunes App Store and, of course, iPhone 3G. I won’t be getting the 3G anytime soon as I am more than happy with my first generation iPhone, however the 2.0 update will serve me well. I already have my sights on the piano and photography apps and it blows me away [still] that free apps like AIM and Facebook will be available. There’s also a free remote application that will enable me to use my iPhone as a remote control to my Mac’s iTunes library. Cool stuff. Thanks, Apple!
