In the past I tried to use the first wordpress iPhone app without much success so I’m going to give his a shot and see if t works better .. So this js a simple test post.. Now I need to figure put how to add images

Two images from u2. One of them taken by my best friend..

Last friday NIN opened up in Web Palm Beach, Florida with their NIN|JA 2009 tour or (Wave Good Bye tour) depending on how you look at it that includes Street Sweeper Social Club, Nine Inch Nails and Janes Addiction.  Well I’m an avid fan of NIN and how they push technology.  Some of you may know that a while ago he gave away one of his Albums for free on the net, with the hopes that it brings in more people to his show, web site, sells merchandise and basically gives anyone an opportunity for “free” to hear what NIN is.

About a month or so ago, they released their own iPhone Application called NIN Access, which gives you a peek inside of the world of Trent Reznor..

This application connects NIN fans together and allows them to listen to music, download images, video videos, talk with other NIN people using the iPhones built in GPS , so you can talk with local NIN people in your area if you want.

The cool thing is that you can like twitter send a message to the masses including an image and your location.  This can then be viewed on the app or on the NIN Access website with Google Earth Plugin.  So in real time you can watch the community talk about the show, post photos and such.

I decided since I wasn’t able to go to the show in Florida to record about 2 hrs of the web event that went on.  I took this footage and time lapsed it down to about 8 minutes but this gives you an idea of the communication going on before the show, during Street Sweeper Social Club and all when NIN was on stage.

I added the track  Nine Inch Nails – The Big Come Down(Long) to the video and uploaded it to both YouTube and Vimeo.

Anyhow, just figured I would do a small post about this, its been a long weekend and its time to veg.

One of my close friends has finally release his wine iPhone application that will save you lots of time and effort scanning the shelves at stores and wine shops.  I myself am still new to wine and try out various types of wine, but using this application I can look it up in the db, and read any reviews before buying it.
