		<title>The iPhone App Store is up - with Astronomy programs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I do have an iPhone, and I can&#8217;t wait for the App store.   If you have iTunes 7.7, then you can browse the store.  I found this neat looking program, called Starmap.   Looks pretty handy - you can read more about it at its web site

Hmm, this is disappointing. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wifi Trick at the St. Louis Airport</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I&#8217;m returning to DC from the AAS today (a bit earlier than some).   I found something interesting  - the Boingo-run wifi hotspots at the St. Louis airport offer 15 free minutes to iPhone users, if you watch an ad.  What I discovered is 2 things:


They determine you&#8217;re on an iPhone [...]]]></description>

		<title>Papers updated</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The PDF tracking software Papers is now up to version 1.8.  It includes support for NASA ADS and other search engines and I have mentioned it in the past now and then.

This update to 1.8 may have happened some time ago, but the program continues to be improved and I think becomes more useful [...]]]></description>

		<title>OS X&#8217;s Birthday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Macworld &#124; Editors&#8217; Notes &#124; OS X turns VII - Yes I bought OS X 10.0, and no I couldn&#8217;t do much of anything with it - it was too slow.  When 10.1 came out a few weeks later though, you could definitely sense the way the Mac was going and clearly it&#8217;s been [...]]]></description>

		<title>IRAF January 2008 Critical Update now on Download page</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I dropped the ball - the January 14 2008 critical update to IRAF?  I never bothered to incorporated the updated binaries to my .pkg installer.  I have done so now, and the installer for IRAF 2.14 on the download page contains the updated binaries.

This is also the first time I&#8217;ve used Packagemaker [...]]]></description>

		<title>Papers 1.6 released - with arXiv and ADS support</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Papers now looks to be the killer app for finding and organizing PDFs of journal papers in astronomy.  I&#8217;ll need to check out the bibtex export ability and such of it, but it was already quite handy and with ADS and arXiv now bulit-in; it&#8217;s even better.

Via a comment from the authors on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>IRAF 2.14 Available - Installers forthcoming here.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[IRAF 2.14 has been announced and is available for download.  The Mac (PPC and Intel) versions appear to work properly on both Leopard and Tiger.  I&#8217;ll try and have installers made for these today.  Certainly, I can test the Intel one easily but it&#8217;s harder for me to test the PowerPC version [...]]]></description>

		<title>Airport Menu Trick in Leopard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Via Daring Fireball, Tidbits has an interesting article on the new Airport Menu in Leopard.  While I noticed the new &#8220;lock&#8221; icon that shows if a network is encrypted or not, the holding-down-option-key trick I did not know about.  I like that it shows the transmission rate so you can tell if the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Check out the new Mac Astronomer&#8217;s Wiki</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jessica Lu suggested that a wiki might be useful for Mac using astronomers to share their tips, etc.  I have set one up here at Mac Singularity.  Check out the Mac Astronomer Wiki here.

Anyway, register and you can edit and help out.  We laid it out in terms of a setup guide [...]]]></description>
