While celebrating my good friend Keith’s birthday recently, I overheard some party-goers discussing noise generators.  They were the kind of people who need a fan or some other background noise to sleep.  After trying some programs I found on the App Store, I have found two that I like.  The first is a free version of WHITE NOISE that features eight different sounds that you can adjust.  I use the white noise and ‘extreme rain’ sounds to fall asleep now with the built in timer.  Check it out:

I believe I read about this on MacWorld.com but honestly I can’t recall.  I have yet to delve into this software yet, but it appears to work with TV tuner cards installed on PC’s (no Mac or Linux support as of yet).

Apparently, if you install this software on a PC with a compatible tuner card, you will be able to watch that video over both your home wi-fi network AND OVER THE AT&T 3G and EDGE NETWORKS.  That last part is the really exciting part. 

Frustratingly, they don’t post a list of compatible TV tuner cards at their site, but it seems most PCI-interface cards have a good chance of working but the USB plug-in types do not.  The full version of the app costs $9.99 but there is a great trial version that lets you test whether or not it works with your tuner card.  I will post a link to the app store…when I figure out how to that [pull out to-do list].

WordPress, the near-ubiquitous software used to craft this very website, has now lauched a version for the iPhone!  Learn more at http://iphone.wordpress.org/

and download the app for your iPhone here!  http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=285073074&mt=8

Soon I will tempt the fates by trying to use it myself, but as I am not a week into using WordPress itself, I will save some excitement for next weekend.

Two days into WordPress and here we are, so far… In response to constant chats with Nadir the PhD, George @ 2B (just got his iPhone), L-Train, and others, this is I GOTTA iPHONE !  Ultimately, this will be a premier destination for all things iPhone.
