I just stumbled across OnSwipe today which is a free WordPress plugin designed to make your blog more iPad friendly.

“Onswipe makes it insanely easy to publish on touch enabled devices. When your readers navigate from an iPad to your site they are given a beautiful app like experience. “

It’s got some slick features like loading screens, built-in sharing with Facebook and Twitter and even supports content layout changes based on orientation of the iPad (using accelerometer detection).

It was a totally painless install and only took a few clicks from the WordPress dashboard.  I checked my blog out on my wife’s iPad immedaitely after installing it and I was totally blown away!

Absolutely zero configuration and immediate upgrade in functionality and design for visitors with iPads.  Who can argue with that?

Love this quote by Fred Wilson:

“Risk is not obvious. And reward is not obvious. Don’t do the obvious thing. Because I can assure you it rarely works out as planned.”

Here are my 4 favorite commercials from the Superbowl this year.  Hands down, the worst commercial was from Groupon.  I’m not even going to link to it since it’s that bad.

In 2008, I failed miserably at completing my 365 Days photo project, where I was trying to take a self-portrait every day for an entire year.  Taking a photo of yourself every day is tougher than it sounds, and I ended up taking nearly years before abandoning it on Day 292.

At the beginning of 2010, I created the opportunity to redeem myself by trying new project with my friend Shawn, called Year in iPhone Photos.  Every photo was to be shot with my iPhone and the photos could only be edited with iPhone apps. A challenge indeed!

I’m happy to say that not only did I stick with the project the entire year, but I also finished it officially on December 31, 2010 at 11:59:55pm!  This was the 365th and final photograph of me and Ali at the EMP for their New Years Eve party:

Looking back through all 365 photos, it’s remarkable how much of my life was actually documented.  It literally makes me smile to flip through them all.

I’m relieved and ecstatic to have finished this year long project and while I had a blast, I won’t be repeating it for 2011.  Instead shifting my focus to other photography projects that don’t involve the insanity of a photo every day

Here are my 10 favorites from the entire year:

You can see all 365 photos by browsing my Flickr set or seeing it in a slide show. Or if you’re as ADD as I am, here is all 365 photos in a 1 minute video:
