The iPhone Log Dock

Because you can’t out-tech the sleek iPod and iPhone, it’s much better to go low-tech when showcasing Apple’s coveted gadgets. Behold, the log dock by Woodtec:

Again from Woodtec, the dual iPhone/iPod docking log takes the single log dock and adds room for another device. Now you can charge your iPhone and iPod simultaneously via a single length of tree limb. Unsurprisingly, as there’s more wood and an extra connection, the dual dock comes in at a higher price but for something so unique, $119.00 is surely money well spent.

David Hockney's Mini iPhone Masterpieces

Posted by Alex in Arts & Crafts on May 9, 2009 at 2:07 pm

English painter David Hockney, who is considered one of the most influential British artists of the twentieth century, has had his iPhone for only four months, but he has already turned it into a hi-tech canvas.

Beth Hale of The Daily Mail has the story:

… Speaking about it last week the artist, who thinks calling his work digital art is as absurd as calling traditional drawing pencil art, said: ‘The computer is a terrific medium.

‘You miss some things, you miss texture for example, but you gain a lot. In a watercolour, once you put things down, that’s it. With this you can move things about, change, make them bigger and smaller.’

For the moment his computer-created art is being printed in limited editions, which will sell for thousands of pounds. That is considerably less than some of his more traditional paintings fetch.

Pencil iPhone Stand

Take what you have and build what you need -that’s what we in the South call Southern ingenuity, although I’m sure it’s called something else in other places. Roland at Geeky Gadgets built an easel out of five pencils and four rubber bands. Now he can comfortably watch videos instead of working! Link -Thanks, Roland!

Japanese cat Tetris iPhone game

Posted by Adam Stanhope in Toy & Video Games, Video Clips on January 15, 2009 at 3:13 pm


I can’t decide whether or not this iPhone game is wonderful or terribly annoying. I *still* love Tetris and I love seeing games that build upon the original Tetris idea. I love to see the iPhone’s accelerometer being used in new applications. At the same time, however, having to listen to somebody else playing the game with its cacophony of cat-noises in a confined space seems like it might be tortuous. Has anyone played this? Any iPhone owners plan on buying the game now that you’ve seen the video? [YouTube]
