Add or Edit a Contact While On the Phone

Add or Edit a Contact While On the Phone –

You know when you call someone to get someone else’s number, and they give it to you but you have nowhere to put it? You had to open up Notes to type it in, feverishly try to memorize the number and continue your conversation, or ask the person to text the number to you.

Now you can navigate to the dedicated Contacts app, and edit or add a contact while talking.

Thanks to Nate Bird for pointing this out. The inclusion of the Contacts app on iPhone 2.0 OS suddenly became a bitt less head-scratchy.

If You’re Open to Growth, You Tend to Grow

If You’re Open to Growth, You Tend to Grow –

Super insightful article, with some advice on how to respond when being mysteriously interviewed by an Apple V.P..

People who believe in the power of talent tend not to fulfill their potential because they’re so concerned with looking smart and not making mistakes. But people who believe that talent can be developed are the ones who really push, stretch, confront their own mistakes and learn from them.

What I love about so many of Joshua’s photos is that they are left wide open for the viewer to imagine the story that coincides. They’re like blank pieces of paper and Joshua hands you the pen.

This shot from the Seattle/Tacoma airport is just one of many that I could stare at imagining scenarios, stories and goofy things happening in.

There used to be more – like this one really mysterious shot from a laundry-mat – but Josh cleaned out his flickr stream a couple weeks ago. Though you can buy some of his choice prints online. (Don’t miss 11, 16 ad 20.)

Domtar is a paper company, and they put out some excellent booklets and samples (a.k.a. junk mail) in their efforts to get me to use their paper. (Or influence my printer to start using it.)

I’m pretty sure I ended up on these guys’ database through my subscription to Print a few years ago, and they are only company ever who’s junk mail — the kind that gets hand delivered to your house by a mail man — I actually want to get.

If you get inspired by stellar design printed on rich, heavy paper that gets delivered to you for free, you may want to sign up for some free samples, too.
