Disassembled Assembly, aka Weekly Wrap Up 8/27
No, not my new band name (but keeps it for future reference), I just had a few things cross my plate, all of which were too big to warrant a twitter, yet too small to warrant their own post. I dunno, that could all be a lie as well. You never know with these internet blogs.
First off, congrats to Tease Marketing, for they(we) have officially refreshed their homepage to include a sign up for their new newsletter, “The Tease Effect.” Sign up, these ladies throw lavish parties and seem to know just about everyone. The newsletter is for upcoming events they sponsor.
On to a more negative note, comment spam is killing me. I hadn’t checked my comments for about a week, low and behold 1500 comments got through my spam filter. WordPress is in my near future. I turned up the junk comment filter threshold, usually this just means people who comment on this blog won’t ever see their comment go live as it will be in my spam folder.
In the Apple world there were three things I came across which were interesting.
1) NBC is pulling out of iTunes. This isn’t about anything but greed. Apple wants to keep the price of the shows the same, NBC wants to double it. We’ll see what happens, my bet is they will be back. Especially with new iPods in the works. Also to read, an open letter from he who runs ipodlounge.com.
2) iPhone to Flickr – Finally! We were talking about how nice this would be the other night. It still feels a little hacky and a native app would be much smoother, but hey I’ll take it.
3) Speaking of the iPhone and recent developments, take a look at this goodness, dock crazyness.
That pretty much sums up my weekly wrap up.
