iPhone App List
iPhone Apps are what make the phone worthwhile. This is a list of Applications that I recommend:
- Stanza is a brilliant eBook reader. It allows over-the-air book downloading from places like Project Gutenberghttp://www.lexcycle.com/.
- Evernote stores notes you take on their servers, and performs OCR on embedded images. Great way of taking meeting minutes. http://www.evernote.com/about/download/iphone/.
- Shazam will identify songs for you that are playing nearby from a short sample. http://www.shazam.com/music/web/pages/iphone.html.
- Discover provides a flex-based interface on your phone so you can copy files from a PC or mac to the phone. http://www.148apps.com/reviews/discover/.
- There are tons of iPhone Apps for Twitter (tweetie is very popular), but I use Tweetdeck, because it syncs with the groups I have on my desktop. http://tweetdeck.com/iphone/.
- EirText Pro gives you webtexts on your phone. Well worth paying for, though there is a free one. http://www.vinnycoyne.com/lackofconcept/?page_id=80
- Dropship is a really fun little 3D shooter. http://toucharcade.com/2008/12/11/dropship-now-this-is-a-shooter/
- I Dig It is a version of DigDug. Incredibly addictive.
Also worth a look are the aggregate sites like 148apps,
More when I think of them.

Failing CAPTCHAs
Every time I fail a CAPTCHA, I feel my humanity is slightly impugned. Given Flann O’Brien’s theory about bicycles and their riders merging, isn’t it also likely that someone who uses a PC as much as I do will suffer a similar, digital fate?
On the other hand, sometimes the tests are just too hard:
