Change in Direction
My posting has been a little on the light side over the past few weeks. Some say it could be the rise in micro blogging services like pownce or twitter. That could be part of it, for me I think it has more to do with the focus or direction of this blog.
I’ve struggled over the last few months to try and keep this blog as focused as I can and unfortunately in the process have not posted many a great posts. I definitly belive that you should always follow what you are passionate about and have found that I am limiting myself by trying to create too narrow of a focus of this blog.
Over the next few weeks you will see a new look (maybe a couple..), posts that will probably still be techcentric but also other stories of my adventure through the nets and IRL. I hope you find the changes to your liking and of interest 
Free WiFi for iPhone
It looks like AT&T is starting to roll out the rumored free WiFi access for iPhone (AT&T subscribers only) users at there numerous hotspot locations such as Barnes and Noble bookstores and Starbuck locations. According to a post on MacRumors, iPhone users will be presented with a special web page upon accessing the hotspot that asks for a mobile number. Upon confirming subscription, the users will be granted access to the hotspot, free of charge.
This is really exciting news and I can’t wait to check this out first hand tomorrow. Has anyone else been able to confirm this?

Do you have a fav icon? What about a fav icon for the iPhone aka webmark? There really isn’t any reason why you shouldn’t have either one. Just like a fav icon, the webmark will create a graphic link on an iPhone (further distinguishing your site from others). It can be argued on how important the graphic is but one thing you’ll notice when looking at your own favorites folder is that the links with a unique graphic beside it catch your attention first. The graphic is like a logo in that it brands your site and raises awareness.
The webmark is a graphic file is limited to the following 3 criteria and your own creativity.
- it must conform to a 57 x 57 pixel canvas
- must have the name ‘apple-touch-icon.png‘
- saved in your root folder of the website (not the server)
That’s it! Pretty easy, now you get out there and make yours. If you’re feeling especially proud of your icon, send it to me so I can post it here on phofuki.com
