So it took those guys a while, but I THINK the WordPress iOS app works now. This and my last post published from my iPhone in minutes. There’s some strange error when you save a post as “published” but IT DOES publish nonetheless. Still a little temperamental (something still a messed up with post date). Could be much better, but nice for quickly posting iPhone pics to your onomix.com blog.

Thanks to Apple’s Find My iPhone feature AND A POLICE HELICOPTER, Australian police was able to track down a 16 year old kid trying to make a getaway ON A BIKE after stealing someone’s iPhone. Uh. Ok. I can maayyyybe understand if it was a police iPhone, but it was just some woman’s iPhone. Really?
Living in LA, you get used to seeing/hearing police helicopters flying around above you. I always assumed they were tracking down mass murderers, mob bosses, drug king pins, and the like. At least I’m sure they’re not tracking down 16 year old kids on bikes with a stolen iPhone… Or at least I hope not.
The cost of the Australian police mission was probably 20-100x the cost of the iPhone when you factor in wages, equipment use, fuel, and future muni court resources. What a waste of money.
On the other hand… Maybe I can get the Australian SWAT team to take down my dirty neighbor, who I suspect is not cleaning up his dog’s poop out in front of our apartments?

Wish me luck. Hopefully, they fixed the proximity sensor so I stop accidentally trying to FaceTime everyone… with my face.
Saw this at Borders recently. I can’t wait to get this for someone at work. Reminded me of this guy in high school who’s nickname was “The Plunger” after he got caught in the bathroom trying to clean up his “mess.”
