Now I have not tried this out yet, but there is a new app out for the iPhone that allows you to update you WordPress blog from your iPhone.

Here is what it is described as:
“Robust but simple to use, the WordPress for iPhone Open Source application allows you to create and edit content on your WordPress blog(s) with support for offline use.”

I am really interested to test this out as I was a little jealous of the Typepad folks who had an app.  Has anyone tried it out yet?

KOCO is reporting that there sources say the name of the new Oklahoma City NBA franchise will the the Oklahoma City Thunder.  This goes against a Jason Zimdars post that leaked the name as “I love this basketball team.“  Either way Oklahoma City Thunder sounds like a WNBA team to some.

I personally think this is appropriate for the people that sit up in cloud city, the upper sections properly named loud city.  “I don’t think the name is scary enough,” stated Stephen Vandervort “People don’t run with thunder like the do with the Bulls.  Running with the bulls will scare anyone, so will swimming with sharks, but that is for another story!”

A jersey design scheme and colors are yet to be announced, but it will be intersting to see if they go with a classic, retro, or some kind of combination of both.  Many eager Oklahomans wait for the official name to be announced so they can begin to purchase merchandise and season tickets.

GoDaddy released the .me domain extension to purchase at 11am ET today.  So far it has been a big fail for them.  I was the proud owner of the.me for a total of 1 hour and 6 minutes before I got an email from GoDaddy letting me know that I am not the owner anymore.  According to a Mashable post, on Twitter there are about 7 or 8 owners of aweso.me.  It might be a while before this is all figured out, so it will be interesting to see what GoDaddy does instead of here is a refund, sorry.  I already had a whole business plan in place.

I am all excited when I get this email:

One hour and six minutes later I am sad because I get this:

Did anyone else run into this?  Have you received anymore information from GoDaddy about what is going on?

You’ve got that fingerprinted shiny new iPhone 3G and you are all ready to do everything “Twice as Fast,” except that you are stuck trying to activate it.  So now your phone is doing nothing as you wait around.  Here are some things to do with it while you are waiting.

1. Use it as a see-saw for your fingers.
2. Polish the back to get the fingerprints off.
3. Check out the new app store on your original iPhone you gave to your wife.  Oh wait, it is bricked too.
4. Talk to someone in person.  I know, weird huh?
5. Tell your friends that despite what they have witness so far, it is an awesome phone and worth the wait.
6. Listen to music on your 3rd Generation (3G) iPod.
7. Write a blog post about how mad you are about your iPhone 3G not activating.
8. Polish the back to get the fingerprints off.
9. Ask someone with a Samsung Instinct for directions using their GPS.
10. Read reviews of how awesome it is on your computer.

Seattle is having a bad week.  First Starbucks announced it was closing down 600 Starbucks coffee shops.  Now their NBA team is gone.  There are things that could make it much worse, but this was not a week they will soon forget.

Clay Bennett and company from Oklahoma City won a ruling today that allowed them to break their lease with the city and move the team to Oklahoma City.  Under the agreement, Seattle will keep the SuperSonics’ name and team colors.  Now the scramble in OKC occurs for a team name, colors and logo.  They need this soon so that they can begin to make the merchandising revenue off of sold shirts, jerseys and all other random things that a logo get’s put on.  They also need this so they can begin to sell season tickets and get Oklahomans hyped up!  For more information on Oklahoma City’s new basketball team you can visit their wikipedia page.

The 600 stores that will be closing are their lowest performing shops.  Approximately 70 percent of the stores being closed have opened since the beginning of fiscal 2006.  The stores are not known yet, but this is not good for the Seattle based company.  For some this is some poetic justice because the Starbucks chairman Howard Schultz  headed the group that owned the SuperSonics from 2001to 2006.

Seattle, it will get better.  You still have tons of Starbucks and someday you will get a team.
