The A Train? I've Got It Covered!

Over my summer blog hiatus, I did manage to make a couple of time lapse videos featuring the A line.

For those of you who don't know, the A line is one of the longest lines in the New York City subway, and includes the longest one-seat ride in the system.

These two videos cover the whole thing, all three branches, and it will take just a few minutes to watch them. Enjoy!

An iRant

With the popularity of iOS devices (iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad), why are there so many people out there misspelling or incorrectly formatting the names of these devices? For instance, I noticed on a message forum a thread about a new app for iOS devices. The title of this thread not only had a hyphen jammed in the name of an iOS device, but the wrong letter was capitalized!

Let me break it down for you. The name "iPhone" is spelled LOWER-CASE i, CAPITAL P, H-O-N-E! Keep in mind that the i is ALWAYS lower-case, the P is ALWAYS capital, and there is NEVER a hyphen! Never! Looking at the back of my iPhone, I do not see "i-hyphen-Phone" printed on the back, but I see "iPhone" – lower case i, capital P, no hyphen.

Oh, and one more thing. What the heck is an "iTouch"? If you answer that it's a product designed and sold by Apple, and could be described as an "iPhone without the phone," you fail.

That Zany Z Train

The third in a series of time lapse videos. Enjoy.

Time Lapse Videos

I recently purchased a copy of iTimeLapse for for my iPhone.

Here are two videos I made so far using this app.

First one is called “Times Square to Flushing in 400 Frames.”


Next one is called “A Very Vivacious V Train.”


Look out for more in the future.

Random Thoughts, Written With an iPhone

So I've been using my new iPhone for over a week now, and I've already made a few photo posts to my other blog. So now, it's this blog's turn.

• I like how it sometimes corrects my spelling.

• I don't like it when I notice a typo before it does.

• I find that I walk and type simultaneously a lot more than I used to. Maybe that's not such a good thing...

• I think some women use Halloween as an excuse to release their inner sex kitten.

• I took a road trip up to Bear Mountain the other day. The fall foliage is nice.

• Finally, I now have to go home and recharge my iPhone. The battery is low... Yet again. But I don't mind. It's like charging an iPod.

• Yes, I did use the word sex again in a blog post. Not the first time.

Guess Who's Got an iPhone?

That's right. I have an iPhone now. I'm using it to make this blog post! Yeah, I could have used my computer to write this, but it's not quite the same.

Anyways, carry on.
