Single rainbow all the way!

If you haven’t seen the ridiculously popular double rainbow video, go check it out first and then come back to appreciate these tweets. There were a few rainbows – of the single and double variety – spotted in Southern California over the past two days. Some photo-sharing Twitter users made reference to the aforementioned video. Let’s start with Jordan Cathey (@jscathey) of Rancho Cucamonga who summarized it best when she tweeted “single rainbow across the sky, almost a double rainbow! So intense and vivid. What does this mean?!” and posted this picture.

iPhone 4 camera samples from the field

To supplement the published tests of the iPhone 4′s camera (see Gizmodo, MacWorld and Chris Pirillo) I’ve hunted down a few real-life shots taken by Southern Californians who have shared their iPics on Twitter. The first image was taken by “modest YouTuber” Toby Turner (@TobyTurner). When he tweeted this picture of a public building, he said that the new iPhone camera was changing his life.
