If you use Media Temple as your web host, you’ve probably already heard about this. But, just incase you haven’t, Media Temple has announced a version of their account center formatted specifically for the iPhone.
It’s not as full-featured as the regular account center, but it’s still pretty cool. You can find more info here.

On the radio yesterday I heard about the bridge over the Mississippi River, in Minneapolis, that collapsed. I didn’t realize the scope until I saw it on the news last night. It’s pretty horrendous. If you haven’t seen it, check out the photo gallery on the New York Times site.
A while back I wrote about how I had plans for this site that would involve changing the format a bit. Tonight I took the first (baby) step towards that goal. I updated my ancient install of Wordpress to the current version (2.2.1).
You may have noticed that the site looks a fair amount different now too. This theme isn’t actually one that I made. It’s called Blog oh Blog, by Bob Jiwakacau. Although I’ve said it before, at some point I actually will make my own theme, but in the meantime I needed to ditch the one that I had been using. It was so old, and had so much legacy junk in it that it was basically being held together with duct tape and rubber bands. I didn’t think it could hold up to upgrading Wordpress (and I was just sick of looking at it). Although this theme is quite a bit different than anything I’ve used before, I like it (with a little tweaking).
I just love this story. It totally made my day. If you ask me, the woman got what she deserved. I think it’s totally crappy that her plan was to arrive just 15 minutes before they opened, and buy out the store. I hope she enjoys her $1450 iPhone. :)

Update (3:45pm): Now I’m blogging from the beach. :)

I’m a big fan of cool t-shirts, and I’ve been eyeing these two shirts from Insanely Great Tees for a while now. I finally broke down and bought them today, as it’s about time to retire some of my other shirts.

For all you Flickr-ites out there, you may be interested in this. Tomorrow is 24 hours of Flickr - A global Flickr community event…
“What happens around the world in one day? In a word – life. Here on Flickr, photographers are sharing what they see: snapping daily moments, recording history, telling stories, capturing beauty.
To celebrate this global community, we invite you to join us in “24 Hours of Flickr” – a day-long global photo project. On May 5, 2007, grab your camera and whatever else you need, and chronicle your day in pictures. The group’s photos will be featured at Flickr events around the world this summer and in a companion book, which will contain a selection of photographs chosen from the group (more about this soon!).”
