First Legitimate Facetime Use
My wife and I just used FaceTime on our iPhones for the first time, for a legitimate purpose. We recently moved into a new apartment and my parents who live 5 hours away have not been to visit yet. I fired up iChat tonight to call and talk to them from my 27" iMac to their 24" iMac using our webcams/microphones. On the call, they were asking how well our unpacking was proceeding, and I tried to tilt my iMac downward a bit so that they could see all of the boxes stacked up behind us still. Then I had an idea.
I snatched my iPhone 4 from my desk, called my wife's iPhone 4 and handed the phone to my wife. Telling her to stay put, I ran into the other room and grabbed her phone, answering the facetime call. My wife proceeded to hold the iPhone up to the webcam on my iMac, which my parents said they could see O.K., well enough to make out what was on the screen with reasonable detail. I then walked around the apartment with my wife's iPhone 4 giving them a mini-tour. iChat to iChat over the internet, analog from webcam to iPhone 4 screen to another iPhone 4 over wifi, from the other iPhone's rear-facing camera. And it worked.
They like the new apartment by the way.
iOS Icons Made In Pure CSS
Louis Harboe has made a bunch of Apple default apps using pure CSS. No images used, what-so-ever. An incredibly amazing effort on his part.

Joe Pasnanski on the iPad
I’m not saying you want an iPad or need one (or any of the upcoming tablets) — I don’t get commission. I’m just saying, what’s the big deal? It’s a computer and television and radio and newspaper and book and magazine and game console and Internet the size of a piece of paper and the width of a Mitch Albom book. It’s freaking amazing, that’s the big deal.
Star Wars LEGO iPhone Dock
My wife pointed this out to me the other day from Apartment Therapy's Unplugged blog:
It isn't often we have the opportunity to combine our love of Star Wars, LEGO, and Apple all in one post, so the moment we found this homemade iPhone dock on Flickr, we just knew we had to share. Creator Chris Harrison has whole set of wonderful homemade LEGO iPhone docks, but this one inspired by the Star Wars AT walker is hands down our favorite.
Though Chris hasn't yet posted instructions or a parts list online, you can check out his fun creations on his Flickr page for some inspiration. We love the nostalgia and the fact that these docks can always be broken down and re-formed into something new whenever you need a change. Combine this iPhone charger with last week's Star Wars Mimobots, and you could be looking at some serious time-wasting fun in any home office!
