One of the cool new features of the updated iPhone software is the ability to take a screen shot. If you hold the home button and then press the power button, the system will save a screen capture to your “camera roll” library. You can then email it or save it to your computer when you next synch, just as if it was a photo taken with the camera. I’m sure this will come in very handy for developers and debuggers.
And, of course, it gives us all a cool way to show everyone what we have on our iPhone home screens. Here’s mine. Nifty, eh?

The restore I did yesterday on my iPhone failed to fix the problem I was having with the camera. Even after completely wiping the phone and resetting multiple times, the camera simply refused to save photos to its internal file system. I was ready to just complain at a Genius Bar in an Apple store this weekend (when I will no doubt be getting the new iPhone anyway), when I decided to do one last Google search for an answer. And, of course, Google provided. I followed the advice of olemono posted on April 22 and now the camera works again!

A few weeks ago I bought a Sony CyberShot DSC-S50 Digital Camera. This is the coolest toy! I love it! I grabbed it on sale at Staples for considerably less than I could find it on-line anywhere, and I reviewed it at epinions.com and a few digital photo web sites before I made my decision. I’ve been snapping pictures of everything that even remotely interests me. Digital photography is - in my humble opinion - far superior to 35mm or APS.
See, I love taking pictures but I can’t stand having photographs. What the heck do you do with them all? I have stacks of prints scattered (literally) across the country. I never get around to putting them in photo albums or categorizing them or … They just end up in shoe boxes in closets and they add to my already-overwhelming sense of organizational failure. I don’t have to worry about that with digital photos. I don’t have to buy film! I can take twenty pictures of the same thing and just delete the ones I don’t like without having to pay to develop bad shots and without wondering if a shot is worth taking. I have a CD burner, too, so I can easily file digital photos however I want. I’m kicking myself for not having bought a digital camera sooner.
