New logo for your iPhone or iPad

You all know I'm a geek at heart.  I try to live my life as a medical professional but my mind always warps around technology in some capacity.

Well last night I started to wonder how Google makes those pretty little icons pop up when you bookmark one of their pages to your homescreen on the iPhone or iPad.  All other sites make an icon that is a picture of the site you are looking at.

Well an hour of my life, a hefty dose of photoshop, and a sprinkling of code injection gets you...

Now if you bookmark this site, this is the icon that will be saved to your homescreen.  

My apologies to Indiana Jones. Short Stuff was not hurt during the making of this icon.

Home screen on iPhone 4

I love my new phone. The main reason I wanted the iPhone 4 was for the camera. The old saying 'The best camera is the one you have with you' applies to me doubly so. In the year+ I had my iPhone 3G I took over 1300 pictures with it (according to my smart folder on iPhoto) that I kept. So the early reviews of the iPhone 4s camera had me Jonesin' for one.

The pics (with the back camera) do impress but I have a new favorite feature. Wallpaper. I know this is on the 3GS and I know we've had wallpaper on computers forever but I love it. On the third day I took one of my favorite photos and after a half hour with Photoshop I had a wallpaper that isn't distracting behind my icons and puts the fam front and center. With folders I just don't use the 4th row for icons.

It's been a week and I still haven't gotten used to seeing them everytime I turn on my phone. I catch myself taking a second to look at them each time. Sometimes it's the simple things.

New look and new address

Well I went too long without updating my WordPress files and malware has struck. No doWell I went too long without updating my WordPress files and malware has struck. No doubt some of you have seen the warning from Google. A rogue php file was placed somewhere on the site and would attempt to put an unauthorized cookie on your computer. I updated to the a newer secure installation but the file was there…somewhere.  It was like looking for a needle in a proverbial haystack.

To fix this I....

Short version:
I moved the site to www.thesullivanblog.com full time.

Long version:
I gave up because........I needed to backup the posts, delete everything, reinstall everything, restore the posts, and then ask Google to rescan the directory.
But…….I was already redirecting www.thesullivanblog.com to the original site at www.macadactyl.com/lilbit.
So…..instead I backed up the posts and moved them to www.thesullivanblog.com.
That was most people’s bookmark anyway so this shouldn’t affect most of you, your browser just won’t redirect you.

I’ll send this in an email as well in case you have the old site bookmarked. When time permits I’ll delete the old site completely and have Google rescan.

I like the new look though so I think this was worth it.

Love you guys,
Chad
