This month’s New Yorker cover was drawn by artist Jorge Colombo while standing outside the wax museum in Times Square. He used an iPhone application called Brushes.

There’s a video on the New Yorker site which shows how he did it. The video is created by another Brushes application called Brushes Viewer, which converts the saved steps of a painting into a movie.

I have to say, this is pretty neat. The iPhone is really coming into its own as a mobile computing platform. Will we all be doing all of our work, drawing, writing, editing, and programming on the iPhone shortly?

The story is being discussed on Slashdot here.

Blogs covering the iPhone story include Gizmodo, Charles Apple, and the Unofficial Apple Weblog.

   This might not be the best place to request this, but I’m trying to find a pest control provider in the pittsburgh region and have no way to find out who is the most effective. I located this company that’s definitely close to me and wanted to see if any individual has any evaluations on them.

   Amazing blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally overwhelmed .. Any tips? Thank you!
