In the early 1990s, a number of like-minded young Americans, began to make art that would reflect their lives, and changed popular culture.

Two Must Have iPhone Apps
DataCase for iPhone
Allows you to mount your iPhone over a WIFI network as an NAS drive, and copy multiple file formats over for transport… so useful and so simple! I tried and you can also mount it as a share via your “Go” menu in Leopard!
iTunes App Store Link
Barcode for iPhone
I am a huge QRCode fanatic as you can tell from other posts (1, 2, 3 and 4) on my blog, but this one takes the cake as the coolest and least buggy to use…
iTunes App Store Link
Redesigned personal site….
I recently went back into the freelance/consulting game, and as a result, decided I should update my sorely out of date vanity domain/website for jasonpfields.com… Spent some time the other day and in a few hours and bit of CSS hacking, voila, it was done!
QRCode Commando Patch
©2008 tikaro
It was only a matter of time before someone made a QR Code commando patch! This is going to be added to my TAD Gear Stealth Jacket SS posthaste…
Here’s a velcro-backed QRcode patch I’ve been working on. It’s a polyester-twill patch, with the design applied using dye sublimation (so it’s waterproof.) Each p8tch contains a unique encoded URL. That URL can be read by mobile phones, now including the iPhone!
The patch links to a configurable proxy URL. Each p8tch comes with a unique keyphrase that allows you to set the destination. So your patch can link to:
* Your blog,
* Your Flickr photostream,
* Your Facebook/MySpace page
* A Google map link to your secret headquarters,
* Your Amazon Wish list/PayPal tip jar
…whatever you want.Your friend snaps a picture of the QRcode with their mobile phone, and then they’re looking at the URL you set. You know, just like in Japan.
Of course, that’s assuming your friend has a steady hand and some patience; the iPhone QRcode readers are in their infancy, but with some patience and good light, I can reliably shoot a patch with the iPhone. More mature QRcode readers like the ones on board the Nokia N95 are faster (but rarer in the US.)
The design at the top is by Kenn Munk, and there are several available (cf. the next picture)
You can now buy your own at www.p8tch.com!

iPhone 2.0
To install this update, you must download the ipsw file and iTunes 7.7. Open iTunes and clicking the option + clicking the check for update button will prompt iTunes to ask for the ipsw location; once you’ve done that, iTunes will begin the firmware update.
Get your 2.0 firmware on … early!
