Apps That Are Not Games On My iPhone

> I got an iPhone last month and didn’t know where to start with all the apps, but I now have a decently-sized list of games to get at some point. Do you have recommendations for regular apps? I found your iphone iusethis page, but it doesn’t seem to be updated.

As it turns out, my list of non-gaming iPhone apps is considerably smaller than the mammoth gaming list, but those titles are worth mentioning too. Here they are, alphabetically: not all are currently installed on my phone due to space concerns, but these are the ones I’ve kept. Applications marked with an asterix are considered my critical application core, as they are on the first page of my Springboard. (Links all go to AppShopper.com; prices are accurate as of the time of this original post.)

Noir Jersey City

Some circumstances tonight – a trip to the grocery store on the light rail; a cold rain making the ground wet and reflective; some noir jazz getting shuffled onto my headphones – yielded the right conditions for a video.

DyingJournal

Valleywag is reporting that LiveJournal has laid off 20 of their 28 employees:

> The bubble in social networking has burst, decisively. LiveJournal, the San Francisco-based arm of Sup, a Russian Internet startup, has cut about 20 of 28 employees — and offered them no severance, we’re told.

> The company’s product managers and engineers were laid off, leaving only a handful of finance and operations workers — which speaks to a website to be left on life support. Matt Berardo, a Yahoo executive hired on last summer, is also believed to be gone.

(While I do not blog on LiveJournal, this blog is available in syndicated form, and a number of my friends post there.)

While I haven’t been pleased with the level of service out of LiveJournal since Sup took it over, this sort of news doesn’t bode well for anyone who actively uses the service.

For those of you using LJ as your primary blogs, you may want to make a backup just in case.

ADDENDUM: azurelunatic has posted a minor rebuke to the Valleywag post – that only 13 have been laid off and that 17 remain.
