Next month, among the slew of third-party apps hitting the iPhone’s App Store, blogging tool TypePad will be giving its users a new way to blog on the go. The native application was just announced at Apple’s WWDC Monday morning, but I got a sneak peek at it last week. I think it’s going to be a lifesaver for bloggers who want to monitor and administrate their blogs while away from a laptop or home Personal computer.
The app will let you write and edit posts on your phone and save them for later, helping people avoid that potentially great write-up from getting lost because you’re in a cellular dead spot or your browser crashes. Six Apart’s Open Platforms Technical Lead David Recordon tells me the company is anticipating users to treat it as more of a monitoring tool to keep an eye on comments, traffic, and posts from other contributing writers.

Last year, the company introduced two smaller-scale efforts that offered similar features–one for its hosted blogging solution Movable Type, and another for TypePad. Both ran in Safari, whereas the new app runs natively and gets access to Apple’s new developer service that grants for application notifications that can be pushed over the air without wearing down the phone’s battery with extra processes.
Similar apps for other blogging platforms including WordPress and Blogger should be expected in the coming weeks. I’m also anticipating to see Six Apart add support for Movable Type later this year.

At a congressional hearing last Wednesday, Howard Frumkin, a senior official at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), stated there was strong scientific evidence of major health problems due to climate change in the next few decades, including:
Heat waves that put kids and the elderly at risk
Danger of droughts and floods from extreme weather
Increased food-borne and water-borne infectious diseases
At least he got to say it. Last October, CDC testimony on the health risks from global warming was censored by the White Home.
Rep. Hilda Solis (D-Calif), who chaired the hearing, stated she suspected that “a layer of screening” continues to limit what CDC officials are allowed to state.
While insisting that CDC had no position on EPA’s pending regulatory decisions, Frumpkin stated, “…there is strong evidence that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas … and there is strong evidence that climate change affects public health in many ways.”
