Adobe Captivate: What the heck is g_intAPIType? – Nice explanation from Philip

getURL works in all browsers, but uses a more complicated communication system when sending data to your Captivate file from the LMS. It also makes a lot of clicking sounds.


Lucky Day – one of the best shorts I’ve seen. Ever.


Nerf Infrared Auto-Cannon – Brilliant.


Baylor Rugby Alumni Festival – Work (and life) is keeping me away, but should be another awesome event.


Just take an iPhone 4 – my thoughts exactly. So nice, now that I have HD video capability and a better camera in my pocket. I still use my DSLR for sporting events and some other shots, but I love the iPhone because it’s an all-in-one, for almost everyone and everything.


MiFi of Your Dreams – not exactly, but it’s close. I could do without the steep $150 entry price. However, $40 a month for an unlimited “wherever I am” hotspot? Not too shabby.

App Store Try Before You Buy

Valid points. I agree completely.

  1. The “lite” versions of most apps are crap, and do clog up the store.
  2. Trials would be ridiculously easy to implement, either with a web-based widget for trying the app on a virtual iPhone/iPad, or as a download (as long as you were able to upgrade within the app, rather than having to go back to the App Store).

This Week in Browsing (Extended Edition)

I’ve been busy. Haven’t had an interesting links post in a while. Here ya go.

I’m Comic Sans, Asshole – Brilliant and funny. (via Gruber)

‘First to Do It’ vs. ‘First to Do It Right’ – solid explanation of the difference between adding features for the sake of having features, and adding features that let you do something your customer/user wants and/or needs to do. Same could be said for a lot of websites.

World Cup Preview – Short Edition – Short, funny and fairly accurate summaries of each of the 32 teams.

“While compiling this preview, I forgot about Greece and had to look them up when I realized I was one country short.”

The Lame iPad Camera Connection Kit – I’m still shocked there’s not an iPhoto Lite for the iPad.

More Adobe accessibility screw-ups – why? Seems I ask that a lot about Adobe these days.

mLearnCon Survey on Mobile Operating Systems

I have the honor of running a zone at the eLearning Guild’s Mobile Learning Conference (mLearnCon).

The zone is on Mobile Operating Systems (cleverly named, the MOSH Pit).

If you are involved in learning, training or anything relating to mobile in your organization, please respond to the following survey at your earliest convenience.


(or launch in a new window).

Thanks!
