This is a photo from almost 10 weeks ago of Trotz 2.0 incubating away which I’d neglected to post. I hope to have a video available soon as well.

ATL Traffic on the iPhone
With it being too blazingly hot to venture out today, I sat down to doodle around with a spiffy iPhone UI dev kit and a simple site a gentleman up the road in Tennessee built to provide an iPhone-optimized UI to department of transportation traffic cams. Since Atlanta has some of the worst traffic in the country, and I know plenty of my friends have to face that commute regularly and quite a few pack an iPhone or two, a custom version for Atlanta seemed to make sense.
I saw James R Whitson’s application, TN Traffic Cams for the iPhone on MockDock, a handy reference site for all the latest iPhone sites. James site, SquareWorld, also features a spiffy college football application as well. The UI toolkit was developed by Joe Hewitt, the maker of my favorite Firefox plugin, Firebug. James original inspiration came from an OSX Dashboard widget by Cale Mooth, Midnight Cheese. Anyway, it was interesting to see how CSS and JS behave on the phone, although putting together all those screens from GeorgiaNavigator was not a whole lot of fun. Please give me any feedback you might have on this. Thanks.
iCandyJewelryDesigns.com
My very talented sisters-in-law who both live up in Amy’s hometown of Rochester, NY have launched a website for their already-thriving hancrafted jewelry business there. Amy and Lisa are marketing and sales professionals who, with the inspiration of Amy’s mother SueAnn, decided to launch this venture. icandyjewelrydesigns.com recently went online, and showcases a wide variety of styles they create. They have a wide variety of original designs with the latest trends well represented, included custom beaded designs, lariats, turquoise and other styles. Anyway, I took many of the photos for the site, so check it out. Visit them here.
Rochester & Canandaigua Lake
The last leg of our vacation began 
with a 7-hour trek with Amy’s folks down the Mass Pike to Rochester. Sam was our main source of entertainment, shunning even the mention of taking a nap, instead regaling us with songs and stories most of the way. Once in Rochester, we had a great time – heading down to Bristol to see Uncle Stan and Ruth as well as more Handelman cousins than I’ve ever seen in one location. Sam enjoyed his first time in a lake, and on this trip, the male cousins of Boston were replaced by girls, girls and more girls. Sam did not mind one bit. We also took in a game at Rochester’s Frontier Field, and despite anticipation that Giambi was going to appear in the course of his rehab before joining the bigs again, that didn’t happen.
