I have been an iPhone user since it was first launched in the UK. One of the nice features that came in a January software update was the ability to save an icon on your home screen that relates directly to a website. This allowed you to easily launch and few a site with one push of your finger.

A couple of weeks ago I had an icon made by Arron Hirst from RazorianFly. Arron is responsible for most of the graphics you see on my sites, mainly the icons, banners and post banners. I hope he continues to provide me with these excellent graphics for shameless plugs on my sites

Arron will soon be starting up his own graphics design business which I hope will continue to provide DavidJMoore.com with great, simple and clean graphics. Who knows, if the site becomes popular I may even be able to pay him, but that wouldn’t be frugal, or help me retire at 45.

To place the DavidJMoore.com webclip icon on your desktop you need to follow the steps below:

1. Navigate to DavidJMoore.com on mobile Safari.
2. Hit the plus button on mobile Safari.
3. Select ‘Add to Home Screen‘

This September 11th marks the seventh anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy. I’d first like to pass forward my heartfelt condolences to all those who lost someone at ground zero, the Pentagon or at the field in Shanksville, PA.

There are a couple reasons for me making this post. The first is because I was utterly shocked when I spoke to people, including many in New York, who had forgotten it was September 11th. The second is because they had forgotten the four important times the events occurred, 0846 (Flight 11 Hits North Tower), 0903 (Flight 175 Hits South Tower), 0959 (South Tower Collapses) and 1029 (North Tower Collapses). Let’s not forget 1003 (Flight 93) for the PA crash and 0937 (Flight 77) for the Pentagon crash. And I guess there is a third reason, not one of them was even going to pause for a moment to reflect or to pay respect. 

It appears me as an englishman cares more about this tragic event that occurred on American soil more than some Americans. 

There has also been developments in the building of the Freedom Tower. It was scheduled to be completed in 2012 but today the New York City Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, announced that the project should ideally be finished for the 10th Anniversary. Here’s hoping he provides the relevant rockets up the relevant rear ends to make it happen. Ground Zero is an incredibly sad place to visit, I hope that the Freedom Tower alongside appropriate memorials will give a sense of progression/closure to those that lost loved ones that day. I look forward to posting here after I am able to visit it and New York again, I miss it.

Well here I am again with a new blog install. I’ve never been able to quite start a blog successfully, part of my 2008 plan is to start this one and keep it going successfully. I had moved to Rapid Weaver software which is available on the Mac. It’s a nice app, it just doesn’t feel as powerful as WordPress did. So here I am back on WordPress and with a standard template for now as the WordPress Themes section is currently down. I will continue to keep you up to date as the site progresses.
