What I learned today

I’m sitting here waiting for my new glasses, thinking about what I’ve learned today.

First, my eyes aren’t falling apart the way I had feared.

Second, I learned that for every 20 minutes you spend staring at a computer at work, you should look away for 20 seconds. This will let your eyes relax and keep them from getting fatigued.

Third, I know how to access the emoji keyboard in iOS 7. 😎

Finally, glasses are WAY MORE EXPENSIVE than the last time I bought them. Woah!

Vimeo – Also Integrated into iOS 7

I tried out iOS 7’s integration with Flickr last night. Success. The other new service tied into the new OS is Vimeo. I didn’t have a Vimeo account until this morning. I’d be curious to see how the release of iOS 7 affects their account stats over the next few days. Anyway, I don’t have any video to upload at the moment, so I poked around for something to try to post here.

I found this cool Throwing Muses video from their tour of Europe a couple of years ago.

And for fun, here is the Wizard of Oz set to Dark Side of Moon.

Flickr has been integrated into iOS 7!

See this awful picture of Ms Patches? Why is it important?

Because I uploaded it to Flickr directly from my iPhone’s camera roll! Flickr has been integrated into iOS 7!

Woohoo!

iPhone Video

Video taken with an iPhone, and then uploaded directly from the phone to youtube kinda looks like utter crap, don’t you think? Word on the street is that the next iOS release is going to include integration with Flickr and Vimeo, similar to the way it integrates with Facebook and Twitter in iOS 6.

I might have to go sign me up for a Vimeo account just out of spite.
