Every Tuesday I try to publish one of my photo that you could uses a desktop background. The images are large enough to be used on a 30″ display. Enjoy the images and I would be grateful for any feedback.

This has got me all excited and over the past few weeks I have been compiling a list of the most helpful and fun apps that you should get and the ones that are not worth the money.
So the first thing we all did when we got the iPhone 2.0 software was download so many apps we had to re-install. Eventually I started to get annoyed with having so many apps on my iPod Touch so I have carefully weeded out the ones I don’t use of like.
Twitterrific is one of the first apps that I downloaded and it has defiantly increased the amount I tweet when not at a computer. I would recommend this for anyone who uses twitter, it is so easy to use and really cool looking.
This is one of the more obscure apps in the store and in my opinion one of the best. It is one of those games where you could spend hours trying to get passed one level and get really angry at when you die, so I do suggest getting protection for the iPhone.
Facebook has become the hub of my community, it is the place I connect with all my friends and chat with them and the iPhone version brings this to you anywhere. Imagine you are really bored and sitting at a cafe on your own and you friend is on Facebook in China you can just sit there and talk to him over facebook on your iPhone. The interface is nice and sleek the whole experience is nice but needs some work, such as not being able to view notifications.
This is a must have app it is so useful and really cool. Over here in the UK we did manage to get a few days of sunshine in which we played some music out into the garden. In these circumstances it came in very handy as I was to lazy to get up change track, I just launched Remote and changed from that awful track that was playing.
I know people will say what is the point in using you iPhone as a torch? well my answer is that the day you uninstall it you will need it! I have had over 5 occasions when a torch as needed and I had to use my iPod Touch as one and it as work extremely well.
This is one fun game that makes use of the touch and accelerometer with in the device. By using both of those you get a very unique game experience that is extremely fun as you progress further and further into the game.
Originally we had the smart bookmark now we have the really deal and to tell you the truth it has some very cool features such as wireless sync but I have yet to properly use it to get a password as I know all mine quite well.
A very clever game that is as simple as the original except two of you put your fingers on the screen above your boards and off you go. This is a very simple game but when two of you are waiting for something it will amuse you for ages.
The drinking game where you complete a corse and get rewarded with a virtual beer. It is not the fastest way to get drunk but it is fun.
These are the apps I have used most or found funniest, if you have any suggestion leave a comment. Two apps I would avoid are Super Monkey Ball as it is really hard and thus sucks another app that in my opinion is over rated is the google app, wow it can do localized search and that is it does, I am not saying localized search is not cool but what about all the other google apps they are just linked to the online version.
Today is the birthdate of rmaspero.com. I had been blogging on Vox.com for at least six month before I purchased rmaspero.com as my personal blog. In the last year I have learnt a lot of things about blogging and wordpress (the CMS I use to run my blog). There are few things I would have done differently but I am pretty happy how rmaspero.com has turned out. This site has sparked and encouraged interests for me, I hope it has done the same for you.
As today is the anniversary of the creation of rmaspero.com, I would like to suggest people have a look at some old posts in the archives. Here are some recommendation I have.
In the future I hope to get more content out there and improve the quality. I know the last two posts have been a bit off topic and have really been about the site itself but normal posts will resume tomorrow.
Just quickly if you are in an RSS reader please click through. One thing that makes the blogosphere so great is the different design around it and earlier this morning my site was down for some maintenance. There have been a few changes to the site so I thought I would point them out.
I have re-coded my whole theme from the floor up to work better in IE (still not perfect in IE 6 but who uses that anyway) and run faster in every browser. There are only two images actually in the theme and they are both very small images. The original theme was a modification of another so there was a lot of old useless code in there.
One of the first thing you may notice is the ad in the header, I am not a fan of adverts so I have tried to get it out of the way. If you wish to advertise just email me and we can see if we can work something out.
Another new feature is the search and RSS button in the menu. It seems to integrate them more into the design which makes them easier to find.
You may look down the sidebar and wonder were my flickr, Last.fm and blog roll have gone, well just scroll down to the bottom and they are all there.
Another change is the goodies page, I am working on some content (i.e. wordpress themes sadly not this one yet) to go up there.
I know I should have put this under design but there are quite a few changes to this area. I have re-done all of it with a completely new look. My comments have a red line just above them. Past comments are much easier to read and you can easily see the time they were .
I have done a rewrite of the About page so there is new stuff there if you want to have a look. You may also notice there are so more subtile changes to the look and feel of the site. I think that covers it.
I hope you enjoy the new look and feel, if you think there is anywhere I could improve just let me know and I will fix it.
On every Tuesday you can count on a Desktop image from deep in my image library, taken on one of my trips. The images are sized at 3008 x 2000 so no one even people with screens bigger than 30” displays can use them and still look good.
