Radio Disney mp3 Stream URL

matthew — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 03:35:50 +0000

I was browsing the Chumby forums where I found a dad looking for a radio disney stream URL for his kids. RD is quite secretive about these streams, but I was able to break into the iTunes .pls file and find the correct URL. It’s mp3 formatted and works in every Internet radio streamer I’ve tried including the Chumby One & iPhone (Fstream & Tuner). Enjoy.

iOS 4.0 – 3g & Bluetooth Keyboards (UPDATED)

matthew — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 17:06:43 +0000

Sad news folks – it appears that the iPhone 3g running iOS 4 does not support pairing with a Bluetooth Keyboard. This is both sad & stupid as the phone has the hardware to support it (evidenced by BT Stack in the Jailbreak community)!

Does not work

Update: Confirmed on apple.com (link)

Just thought this one was cool – the vegetation in the area around Mt. St. Helens was destroyed in the eruption on May 18, 1980 – watch it grow back over 2 decades via NASA satellite.

VOTD! The Sandpit/A Tilt-Shift Primer

matthew — Mon, 17 May 2010 16:07:17 +0000

The Sandpit was created over a period of 2 days taking time-lapse photos in Tilt-Shift style. Tilt-Shift is defined as:

…the use of camera movements on small- and medium-format cameras, and sometimes specifically refers to the use of tilt for selective focus, often for simulating a miniature scene.

“Tilt-shift” actually encompasses two different types of movements: rotation of the lens plane relative to the image plane, called tilt, and movement of the lens parallel to the image plane, called shift.
