I'm glad to see that CSS Beauty is upgrading to Movable Type 4. I'm hoping that they'll include the new movabletype.com site in their gallery :)

We released Movable Type 4.0 last night!

I joined the team late into the process of creating this new-and-improved version of the popular blogging platform, so my contribution was small by comparison, but I did design the new movabletype.com website. I'll be posting about some of the details of the design soon.

Update: A truly wonderful Genius at the downtown SF Apple Store replaced my iPhone. Hooray!

I was here with the rest of the Movable Type team at the Six Apart offices late last night for the release of MT4 (I'll post about that separately). I was walking back into the conference room where we had our 'war room' set up and I bumped into the table. I didn't think much about it until I realized my iPhone was in my pocket. I took it out and -- horror of horrors -- the glass was cracked. I let out an expletive that can't be repeated here. It was a tough way to end a long day.

I'm hoping that Apple will replace it, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

I bought an iPhone a few days ago and I have to say that it's an impressive little device. The thing that really makes the difference is the browser. For example, when I receive an email with a link to a web page I know that I can just click on it and go check it out directly on the phone. That's something I never did on my Blackberry Pearl.

The application I'd like to see added to the home screen (aside from IM) is a sports tracker where you could see the day's scores for your favorite teams. Blue Flavor has partially addressed that with their baseball Leaflet app.
