iPhone/iPod Touch Stuff

Here's a cool site. It's a web browser based simulator for quickly testing your iPhone web applications or seeing how a site you might be working on will look on an iPhone or iPod Touch.

No Traditional Scroll Bars on iPhone
Also, a note about traditional scroll bars on iPhone and iPod touch. I've run into scroll bars I have on a website not showing up on the iPhone. In this case, a two-finger scroll will do the trick. Problem is, unless you KNOW there should be a scroll bar there, you can't tell that you're only looking at the top of a DIV tag and can’t get to the lower part of the content. There's no indication. Not sure what Apple's doin about this. It's cool to use the two-finger scroll. But, there needs to be some sort of indicator that there is scrollable content.

Cheryl Laner - Face Painting

My friend and fellow artist, Cheryl Laner has recently been turning out these great face paintings! Her art has always been inspiring. But, this new medium has been especially awesome to see her work in! I can totally see her working on a movie set doing this kind of work. No training either. She just started doing it and really got into it! Great stuff! (Note: That's her in the pictures. She does her own face in the mirror.)

Natalie d'Arbeloff - Designing with Natural Forms

Picked this book up the other day. It ended up being a GREAT pick up on a topic I am VERY MUCH into - Making nature and the patterns, forms, textures and colors you find in God's creative output part of your own creative process and output. Todd Henry (www.AccidentalCreative.com - Great podcasts!) talks a lot about making sure creatives take the time to replenish their creative juices and schedule in time to get inspired, influenced, and regenerated by those things that keep our juices flowing. Well, for me, and I'm sure a lot of other creatives, nature is one, if not THEE main thing that inspires and motivates me. This book by Natalie d'Arbeloff is a great example of one creative's approach to making nature part of her work.

After reading only the first page, I knew I had made a good buy. I will probably post a few quotes and thoughts later on. For now. I just wanted to share the title with others out there.
