Release: WPhone 1.0.0

See, I told you I wasn’t all there today…

I guess it takes a nasty fever for me to have forgotten to mention that Doug Stewart, Viper007Bond and I have jointly released the first version of WPhone last night, a plugin to bring the WordPress Administration to the world of mobile and accessibility devices.

The project was, originally, in response to a challenge sent to the wp-hackers mailing list, but our take on it actually goes beyond the original parameters by trying to support full universal access instead.

We’re now in the debug phase, since we’ve never actually had the chance to preview the souped up iPhone/iPod mode of our interface, but we’re hoping to be in a much better place on this front by the end of the weekend. The lightweight version of the interface, used for all non-WebKit browsers, is a lot more stable and seems to work like a charm on even my feature-deficient Motorola v551 (pre-RAZR, less RAM, about the same browser).

Radiohead: In Rainbows

Well, I’m sick as h*ll today, but one thing that brought a ray of sunshine to my day is Radiohead‘s latest album: In Rainbows.

The album is revolutionary because of its distribution method, if nothing else. Radiohead decided to bypass all the middle-men and release it on their own. For an added twist, buyers of the download-only version are prompted to name their own price!

I went with the principle that I’d give the same amount I’m charged on the iTunes Music Store, knowing that my money is actually going straight to the source.

Haven’t formed an elaborate opinion on the album yet, not being all there (nasty cold…), but so far, I definitely like it.
