iPhone 2.2: Just skip it [updated]

If you use the Maps function of your iPhone to any large extent, and you save a lot of location bookmarks, skip 2.2. I just updated to 2.2, and all of my saved map bookmarks have had the street address dropped. Every single one of them now only contains city, state and zip information.

I have been asked to clarify by a friend, who rightly noticed that when you search for a bookmarked location the ‘pin’ shows up in the correct place on the map. That is correct, the pins are located in the correct place; but the address information is not fully passed to the routing tool.

As you will see from the screen shots below, when you search for, and select, a previously stored location bookmark only the city, state and zip are populated into the location bar of the Directions application:

Reverting to an older version failed, and I am seriously annoyed.

Plugging my favorite Thanksgiving Dinner vendor!

Once again we are doing Thanksgiving over at Geek Orchard. It’s a pot luck affair, and as usual I’m bringing a taste of The Keys: stone crab claws and spiny lobster tails.

My one and only source for having claws and tails shipped to California is Florida Keys Stone Crab and Lobster in Marathon Key. Becky is great to work with, and I always get my orders right on time.

You can keep your turkeys, my vote is always for tasty sea bugs!

My pet project needs geeky help.

So, I’ve developed a bit of a pet peeve over the years against glo-sticks, and their myriad variations of use once and throw away bright and shinies. I’ve set up a website that I want to be a great place to find and discuss glo-stick alternatives. I’ve done some digging, and put up a few items. If you have any favorite light toys, could you go take a look at Death to Playa Glo Worms and post your suggestion(s)? If there isn’t a category for you favorite toy(s) let me know and I’ll create it.

Thanks!
