The official Flickr iPhone app is finally here and it enables you to easily share the photos you’ve captured with iPhone’s camera, geo-tag them, and add them to sets. You can also search for photos and videos (yes, Flickr also hosts videos, in case you forgot) from other users directly from your iPhone, comment on them or make them your favorites. In a word, it’s the probably the best Flickr experience for the iPhone so far, beating all those unofficial Flickr apps we’ve seen. — (via Flickr Officially Comes to the iPhone)

The Smart Alarm by Massie Design Studio

The Smart Alarm is an alarm clock that is designed to watch the weather in your area while you sleep, and alert you according to your predefined terms. You set a base time — the time at which you would need to wake under ideal conditions — and the Smart Alarm either wakes you up then, or accommodates any morning challenges brought on by weather. How does it do that? It leverages your iPhone’s cellular and GPS, and your iPod Touch’s Wi-Fi connections to monitor the weather in your area.

The Library of Congress has a cool collection of 100 year old color photos called “The Empire That Was Russia: The Prokudin-Gorskii Photographic Record Recreated”.

Gorgeous icons.
