The UIImagePickerController is a must for creating iPhone apps, everyone loves taking pictures and sharing them with their friends :). The UIImagePickerController is the ViewController responsible for allowing the user to either Take a Photo or to Choose a Photo from their Photo Library. And utilizing it in your code is extremely easy. I have created a short screencast showing you the basics of implementing the UIImagePickerController in MonoTouch. Note at 14 minutes in or so I sausage fingered Window.AddSubview and called it Window.AddSubView and took me a minute to figure it out :)

Hope you enjoyed the screen cast here's the code for the project I created.

Ok so this probably doesn't really deserve a whole post; but today while I was checking on my replies over at my favorite microblogging service twitter. I noticed something very strange.

This is my replies tab, but as you can see ScottPolk is sending a message to MelissaCruz but it says that it's a reply to me (MartinBowling) but my name isn't anywhere in the tweet. I am sure it's just one of those things; but thought it might be worth noting. Let me know if you have any twange happenings.

As expected Rob's latest tool DataPresser (DataPresser is a one-of-a-kind utility that leverages the giant collection of databases available for sale at Seocracy.com to allow you to create massive amounts of wordpress blog content with zero programming experience required.) One note on the description I changed it from wordpress to blog; because I am using DataPresser with blogengine .net which I will be posting about at a later date! I first wanted to congratulate Rob on such an successful launch but I also want to remind anyone that didn't get in on the first round should go get on the DataPresser waiting list now Rob will be opening up a few more spots in the coming weeks and I believe it's a first come first serve kind of deal. So don't wait get your name on the waiting list. Second, I wanted to say oopsie! I meant to write this up on Friday and way to try and help Rob drum up some business for the DataPresser launch but given the huge success of the DataPresser 30 minute sell out - looks like he didn't even need my help. Which of course I didn't expect him to cause he always makes such great tools. Again congrats on the success DataPresser 30 minute sell out

Today on Twitter I noticed a tweet from Graywolf "Testing 1, 2, 3..." with a tinyurl attached. So being noisy I had to click the URL. And ever since then I have been playing with Jott. Man this service is awesome you can voice control lots of Web 2.0 apps with Jott. You can order things from Amazon.com, you can Tweet to Twitter, you can blog to blogspot. And also it has an API for you to write you own interface to any number of applications or sites that use HTTP POST. I encourage everyone to pick up a Jott and start voice controlling all your web 2.0 apps!
