Ryan Ozawa (@Hawaii) Summons Rainbow using Secret iPhone App

Ryan was at Ala Moana Beach early one morning to record a video message for TWiT. I happened to be sand running and saw him so I launched my ninja app, snuck up, switched to Camera+ and snapped this cool juxtaposition.

Hilton Hawaiian Village

The Hilton Hawaiian Village has great decor scattered throughout the property. I love the asian themed shopping and dining area. Here's a few Hipstamatic shots while we vacationed there a few months back.

Sometimes the best photos are those you capture when using a non-standard point of view. Here's my worm cam. Topa Financial Center, Bishop Street Tower in downtown Honolulu.

Delete Photos from iPhone after Import in Aperture 3

I recently started to use Aperture 3 to manage all my iPhone photos as well as my other photos. The first few times I synced from my iPhone I tried in vain to find the "delete after import" button but couldn't find it (this button was present in iPhoto and I swear it was there in Aperture 2). Turns out, if you want Aperture to delete your photos after import you'll need to launch Image Capture with your iPhone connected. Check the "Delete after import" button and you should be good to go. For those of you who haven't used Image Capture, you can use this to delete all photos from your iPhone as well. Image Capture is a great utility app and it's included for free on the Mac (look in Applications->Utilities). Keeping your iPhone photo albums neat and tidy speeds up many apps that use the photo library. I've heard that it also speeds up the iPhone backup process.
