Testing Cycorder for iPhone, originally uploaded by FemmeNoir.

I’ve been using Cycorder for a while since I first saw it loaded in the Cydia installer but I never thought much about the app since it did not have sound.
The video recorder was created by the same person who created Cydia (note Cycorder) and for [...]

Another development, originally uploaded by FemmeNoir.

This is another development in Altadena that is taking forever to complete. I don’t know when this one is scheduled for completion — maybe sometime next year — or what will go in here but gee whiz, when will they finish.
I have always seen a very small [...]

All Cleaned Up, originally uploaded by FemmeNoir.

She’s all cleaned up and ready to go. She no longer looks like a cabbage patch doll. Talk’n bout the car wash yeah!!!

No 2 Getting Cleaned Up, originally uploaded by FemmeNoir.

I finally did it. After six months — or longer — of wanting and needing to get a serious car wash, it’s done. This one looked really bad with about three inches of pollen, parrot poop (noisy San Gabriel Parrots), and an assortment of spills, [...]

My little kitty, originally uploaded by FemmeNoir.

One of the little kitties that have found safe haven in my yard. This time, instead of ignoring me she began talking as soon as I exited the car. I “owled” back and she continued to talk. Finally I really started talking to her and she/he [...]

Planting trees on Arroyo Blvd,, originally uploaded by FemmeNoir.

I’ve been waiting for these to show up. With all of the work and building going on, I wondered when the palms would show up and they’ve finally arrived. They were all laid out all the way to California. I’m assuming they’ll be planting [...]

She’s clean!!, originally uploaded by FemmeNoir.

Here’s one of the old girl after a quick run through the water. One down, one to go. Maybe tomorrow.

Getting a wash, originally uploaded by FemmeNoir.

My plans for the weekend went bust in terms of the girls night out dinner plans we had. Two of my girlfriends are not doing well. As for me, I see something good in everything — I needed the rest.
Today I felt like 95% which [...]

Facebook on iPhone, originally uploaded by FemmeNoir.
First, I have not quite caught the wave of social networking. I am trying but I sense I am a die-hard loner and I have issues with words that even smell like I’m “following” someone. I dislike anything having to do with “following” another individual and vice [...]

A friend just sent this to me with the subject “cute bears”.  Personally, I don’t like to see bears in captivity, in fact, I don’t like to see any animal in captivity.  I believe they should all be out running freely whenever, wherever, living life happily in the wild.
These bears have actually learned how to [...]

I am so glad I saw this program on CNN prior to seeing Black in America.  Admittedly, Don Lemon is a little weak on the interview side because a lot of substance was lacking in the interview with Attallah Shabazz and Sherri Poitier.

Big Bear Lake, originally uploaded by FemmeNoir.

Didn’t shoot any video except a few with my iPhone. This was taken on the road that borders Big Bear Lake. Because the roads were narrow in places and there were curves in there that made me nervous, I didn’t pull out the big video guns to [...]

I wanna stay here, originally uploaded by FemmeNoir.

This is at the end of the very popular and very crowded strip at Big Bear Lake. It’s within walking distance of the strip and I spied a pancake house nearby. When I’m able to go up and stay, I wanna stay here.

Drive along Rte 2 - Angeles Crest Scenic Byway, originally uploaded by FemmeNoir.

One more iPhone test post to check the settings. This is only a test.

iPhone steam

Originally uploaded by FemmeNoir

This was experiment to see if the iPhone could do what my iPod Classic has been able to do for the past three years. Yes, I know it’s a phone and this is a second phone I keep just for torturing.
The phone went into both the steam room [...]

I’ve always known Tiger Woods as a strong player mentally – i.e., not chooking in the clutch — and I have also noticed the incorporation of weights into his training regimen because the guy has bulked up.  However, after this weekend’s U.S. Open and particularly upon reading the most recent news, I now know Tiger [...]
