Today Dashboard

dan — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 01:49:38 +0000

My first iPhone application is available for purchase on the iTunes store as of today. Pretty happy with that, the last 10% did take 90% of the time

The application is called “Today Dashboard” and it is intended to be used either to quickly get some info about the day, or to keep it running beside your monitor at your desk.

It gives you current time, current weather, today and tomorrows calendar events and current news. The calendar and news comes from google calendar and google reader which are pretty popular today and I really like those services.

If you’re interested in trying it out here is the link to the iTunes store.

I like this photo that Erica and I took today at the Children’s museum.

Merry Christmas!

It’s the day after Christmas.. they call it boxing day of course. What better things to do on a “boxing” day then to play with a box. I came back into the kitchen to find this:

Erica had hopped into the box with some snacks found in the cupboards… it was perfectly Erica sized.

Here are some other photos from Christmas and the month of December.

Update on Erica

Haven’t posted in a while so thought I would. I’ve got the 12 and ongoing 13-month galleries up. Here are the links:

Hmm.. what is Erica up to these days? Well, she’s walking very well, she understands words and can find objects (Especially Cleo), and she is saying a few words like “door”, “dog”, and “bird”.

Today I took Erica to Starr Gym so that she could play and have fun. It was a great time, she really enjoyed the other kids and the foam box.

Here are some pics:

Putting this together was fun. I’ll likely make some better ones once I pay for the service.

Erica is almost 1

Erica is turning 1 year old this weekend. Time has officially flown. Here are some photos from this month and last:

I’ve finished uploading all my content to Smugmug where I’m hosting my photos and videos from now on.

Fall is coming

Fall is coming, some leaves are already starting to change. This year I’m hoping to get out to Gatineau park more and at a better time to catch the leaves changing.
