Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

It definitely shouldn't...

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

dammit. Posterous was purchased by twitter. Industry experts suggest posterous is going down within about 6 months.

So...

Can people suggest alternatives for someone who does light (LIGHT) blogging? I have a blog over there I need to move too.

Wordpress?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

WordPress.com has a Posterous importer tool.

t-5 days to new phone. Thank god. It takes me 1/2 a day to listen to voice mail, and I drop calls like strippers drop it like it's hot.

I was thinking the myTouch, but now, I am thinking the Samsung Galaxy S -- not the brand-new one, but the 1st gen. It'd be free with my upgrade. Anyone have one, and have any thoughts about it?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So now I need some iPhone apps. Of course I already have the apps that I got for my iPod Touch, but now I can get apps that need GPS and/or a constant connection to the internets. Any ideas?

For starters, I need a QR code reader. And maybe one of those "remember where I parked in the big-ass parking lot" apps. Any recommendations?

ION, the Personal Hotspot works great. The other day I was humming "I'm a walking hotspot. I'm a walking hotspot."

eta: Ooh. An augmented reality app would be cool!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

At least you didn't have to be homeless to get the privilege.

Heh. Yeah, I was considering making that joke.

RedLaser is pretty much the gold standard for scanning QR and UPC codes. It even generates QR codes.

I've picked up a couple of "where did I leave my car" apps but then I forget to use them so I can't tell you how well they work.

My favorite GPS using app is PeakFinder, but not everyone shares my obsession with knowing the name of any mountain I can see.

Yeah, that could be a problem.

Now I'm wondering if there's a "where did I leave my car" app that can detect when my car ends its Bluetooth connection to my iPhone (i.e. when I turn it off) and records where I am at that time.
