Today I downloaded the iPhone SDK. The Software Developers Kit includes a variety of programs for developing applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch. I haven’t done a lot(or any) software development but Apple’s development tools, like many of their products, seem to be made for simplicity. Many elements you will need for your app can simply be dragged and dropped into place. All you have to do is connect the elements and tell them what to do. Sounds simple but you do need a healthy dose of programming knowledge. I think I’ll give it a chance, the least I can do is copy the steps to build a simple app and modify it enough to call it my own.
DashCode is one the the apps included with the SDK. Dashcode makes web apps, which are based on web development language. That I can work with. In a few hours I managed to make a web app for my website! Based on my RSS feed, it’s basically a blog customized to fit nicely on the iPhone.

This weekend I was visiting with my brothers Dusty and Ben in Jacksonville Alabama. That first night we decided we were going to make a campfire in his backyard. We were a little short on firewood so Ben and I drove through his neighborhood towards the woods in search of any firewood. Just as the sun was beginning to set we came to a lonely dead end that only had one house along side its turnaround. Looking into the yard I saw a lady that looked like she was working in the large garden that covered her front yard. We couldn’t see her that well as I was pulling my car around the dead end, but I decided to stop because it almost looked like she was laying down. We asked her if she was ok and she yelled, “No, Help me!” We quickly got out to help. Her legs had become entangled in some plastic that she was trying to cover her garden with. The elderly lady had fallen and hurt her shoulder, and had been laying there unable to get up for an hour. We helped her to her feet, brushed her off and helped her inside.
It is really amazing we happened to be driving down that dead end street, we might have been the only car all day that passed that house. If we didn’t drive by she shirly would have spent the night in her garden.

I decided to try out Couch Surfing during my trip to California. Couch Surfing is a social network used for people to stay with others when they are traveling. I didn’t just want to use it to save money from hotels, but also to meet some locals and possibly do some professional networking if I could surf with some people involved in web/graphic design.
