Creative House of Lancaster

Next meeting Thursday 18 March 2010 at Annie Bailey’s. Grant Rissler from MCC will be there to talk about the group’s work all over the world and answer questions about how the Lancaster for Haiti donations will help out Haitians in need.

The Eris is pretty slick

HTC Eris Vs. the iPhone

Anne finally got a new phone. No, not the iPhone. But she did get a pretty sweet Eris by HTC. So far it looks like a great phone and a good solution for those Verizon folks reluctant to make the switch to AT&T. The gauntlet’s been thrown by Anne so watch for a head-to-head, battle of the phones between the two of them in the near future. Can’t figure out how to do screen captures on the Eris yet so you’ll just have to wait until Anne figures that out.

Forum on PA House Bill 300

Max will be attending the Forum on HB 300 tonight at the City Council Chambers, Southern Market Center tonight from 7pm-9pm. Join him if you can and show your support for the GLBT community. Look for video from tonight’s event coming this week.

From the Facebook event page
On Monday, March 8, 2010 The Lancaster City Human Relations Commission is sponsoring a community discussion about Pennsylvania HB300, which is proposed legislation to amend the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act to extend protections to residents who are discriminated against on the basis of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. This forum will take place from 7:00-9:00 PM at the Southern Market Center, City Council Chambers, 100 South Queen St., Lancaster, PA. The public is invited to attend. For more information on the forum, please contact Linda Martin at 717-393-2883.

First Friday at The Infantree

Max stopped by the Infantree Friday night for the Help Haiti Heal: Poster Show and caught a little video. The guys over there always put together great shows and this was no exception. And it was for a good cause, the Haiti relief effort. Max couldn’t get the video cut together for today’s video cast (#MaxFail) but will post is as soon as it’s ready.

From TheInfantree.com
We have asked designers and print makers to create limited edition posters. They will be sold for $25 each at the gallery and online. The show will benefit Build-A-Bridge, a Philadelphia-based non-profit arts organization that uses the power of the arts to bring hope and healing. Its Haiti response includes art therapy to help children who may not have the emotional outlets or tools to cope with the tragedy.
The show will also feature 20×30-inch, large-format black and white portraits taken by Lancaster photographer Matthew Lester on trips to rural Haiti. Lester has made six trips to Haiti over the last 10 years. For Lester, the portraits are an opportunity to show a perspective he is not seeing in mainstream media coverage of the earthquake’s aftermath.

Picks of the week

Anne: Double Twist – syncing for the rest of us non-iPhone users.
Max: FAIL (no pick this week)


Freakin’ awesome iPhone accessory

Freakin' awesome iPhone case

Freakin' awesome iPhone case

Ok, so I’m listening to Mac Break Weekly and it turns out that one of the cool new iPhone accessories merges the old-school and new-school – a paper iPhone case that you can draw on. There’s something so yummy about wrapping your high tech device in a brown paper cover. Sort of takes me back to the days of creating covers for my text books out of old paper shopping bags. Max <3 iPhone innovation.

Lancaster Online app for iPhone and Android phones

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

LOL-iPhone-AppI usually cringe whenever I have to visit the Lancaster Newspaper’s Web site, LancasterOnline.com. Visually it’s a mess and frankly I can never find what I’m looking for via the site’s built in search (I usually end up using Google to search their site). And I think it’s hysterical that the site’s favicon is “LOL” — because, let’s face it, the site is a joke.

That said you can imagine it was with some reservation that I downloaded the new Lancaster Online iPhone App. (Available on iTunes, search term “Lancaster Online”. Honestly I would share the link but I can’t find it on their site!) Watching the progress bar as the app found its way to my iPhone I thought, “I’ll be deleting this app soon, what a waste of time.” But once I opened it and started using it I was pleasantly surprised. The interface is clean and easy to use. Stories are accessed with stacked, horizontal scroll wheels, and a simple yet intuitive interface. The app gives you access to the most current stories, video, pictures and weather (including radar and video). Stories are formatted in print that’s easy to read on a mobile device, and has an option to share via email, text, Twitter or Facebook. You can even upload photos directly to Lancaster Online from the app. (I’m not sure what happens to them once uploaded as I haven’t tried this feature yet.)

On the down side, I couldn’t help notice the app’s lack of a search function — an option I assumed would be included. I guess LOL doesn’t want you to find older stories on their site or on their mobile apps. And it is ad-supported, which isn’t too intrusive until you’re trying to watch a video. But at least it’s free.

Overall, not a bad effort on their part. I may be tempted to give up my morning paper and go completely digital (yes, I still enjoy reading the actual paper). There is a version available for Android phones as well. We’ll look into that as soon as Anne gets her new Droid, Nexus One Phone or whatever cool new offering Verizon has when she finally gets around to making a decision.

Update: looks like the App is back in the store. Download it via iTunes.
