Dangerous Intersection now available on your smart phone

DI for mobile versionWe have now upgraded Dangerous Intersection so that you can access all of our articles and comments (and submit comments) on your smart phone.

I’d like to give some recognition to two entities and one person that/who have made this advance possible. First of all, this website runs on a WordPress platform. This is excellent and free open source software has been developed by hundreds of community volunteers (how does Free Market Fundamentalism explain this massive effort?). For the new mobile capability, we are using a new release, WPtouch Pro 2.0, by Bravenewcode. For those of you who run your own WordPress sites, WPtouch allows incredible functionality for about $30 per website. If you visit DI on your smartphone, I suspect that you’ll agree.  I’d also like to thank Josh Timmons, a St. Louis computer consultant who tirelessly maintains our server and provides me with immense amounts of technical know-how, much of it in the wee hours.

For those of you who use iPhones, you can also make DI the equivalent of an App. Simply visit this site by entering the URL (http://dangerousintersection.org/ ). Once you see the site on your phone, press the “+” button at the bottom of your screen and choose “Add to Home Screen.” The next screen allows you to choose a shortened name for our site (I chose “DI”).   Then press “Add.”  From then on, you can access DI directly from your iPhone home screen (you needn’t go through Safari any longer).

I don’t want to be presumptuous.  I hope that your finding this site to be thought-provoking in a civil way.  To the extent that this is true, then, see you in the future, either on your computer or on your phone.
