Official Gmail Blog: New Gmail for the iPhone

Josh Kenzer — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 14:58:33 +0000

I think I’ll stop using the built in email feature on the iPhone now that Google has released a new version of Gmail specific for the iPhone. It’s snazzy and goodness and I find that using ~~POP~~ IMAP with Gmail isn’t a nice email experience (although it gets the job done).

New Version of Quick Post Plugin

v0.6 (11/26/2007) -Finished Safari Support (although there may be bugs); Added stripslashes for titles that have apostrophes; Minor Change to Blockquote formatting. Download now: WordPress › QuickPost « WordPress Plugins

The Safari issue was interesting. Previously, the plugin used document.write to write out the preview of each image in the Photo tab. However, document.write in Safari refreshes the entire canvas – very odd. So after a little research, I found using innerHTML worked fine in Safari. A quick browser detection, and poof, ready to go.

DARPA Grand Challenge Accident

Josh Kenzer — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 15:28:45 +0000

DARPA held their 2007 Grand Challenge over the weekend. The goal was to have completely autonomous vehicles interact with a road course that contains other cars, street signs and regular urban obstacles. These completely unmanned vehicles were given a mission file before each challenge that was uploaded into the vehicle and a time limit to complete the course. Other than that, they were not human controlled in any way.

Here is a video of the MIT car getting impatient at a stop sign and trying to go around Cornell. I think this is awesome. An unmanned vehicle getting antsy over a car taking too long at a stop sign.

Danger Room – Darpa Grand Challenge Coverage

I’m a little surprised how many cars finished this year. The tasks seemed considerably harder than the last two races. I can’t wait for some of this technology to make it into my car!
