For those of you who are lucky enough to be in the San Francisco area this evening, it’s time to get your party on! Phill Ryu and John Casasanta of MacHeist, and Austin Sarner of AppZapper, are once again hosting a Delicious Generation Party this evening. The party will be full of Mac developers, media, food and even beer. Here’s what the Delicious Generation website has to say about this year’s party:

Last year, we brought hundreds of users, developers, and members of the media together for an amazing night of food, beer, and software. We’ve decided to do it again this year… with a little more sizzle. Introducing the Delicious Generation bash 2.0 at Macworld. Our party is a great opportunity to meet your favorite Mac developer, and we’d like to extend a special invitation to the developers attending Macworld. Prepare for another night to remember - exclusively at Macworld 2008.

As of writing, some of the people who have RSVP’d on their site include Apple employees, Adobe employees, bloggers from TUAW, and the Pixelmatrix Design. The party is from 8:00pm-12:00am, and will be held at Elan (Google Maps link). Space is limited, and is largely focused at the press and developers attending Macworld 2008. Though if you have an interest in Mac software, and are in the area, I’m sure they would love to say hi.

A listener over at the MacCast is reporting that his iPod nano has been corroded due to sweat. As you can see from the above picture the corrosion is at the bottom of the iPod near the dock connector and the headphone jack. This particular nano is said to be less than a year old and has never been in contact with water. Bryan has said he uses his nano while running using a Belkin Sport Sleeve and his best guess is that the damage is being caused by sweat.

The iPod in question seems to be one of the 1st Generation nano’s with the silver back. Has anyone seen this type of damage (corrosion) on their iPod. Personally I ran with a 1st Generation iPod for around a year with the Nike+ Sport Armband and never saw any damage to the iPod. Could this all be related to sweat?

Lately I’ve been in the mood for things Delicious. With things such as iLikeOlives, and the WWDC Party (which the Headline developer will be attending), there is quite a bit going on in the “Delicious World” in the next few weeks. Though this teaser, not from the same people as the former events, is wetting my appetite even more. There hasn’t been much released about this app yet, but this post on the PixelMatrix blog gives us a bit more information:

I recently had the opportunity to design some slick new shirts for Doseido Software. Doseido is working on it’s first app, and they are determined to do it right! Their upcoming app, called Headline, is going to be a revolutionary delicious RSS reader. You can find out more by visiting their teaser page, and adding your email to the list. More information is on it’s way and i’m willing to bet we’ll see some more info in the next couple of weeks.

Lately I have been going from RSS reader to RSS reader, so maybe this will be the one that I can finally settle on. If you want to be notified when there is more information, enter your email address into the space provided on their website. If the Interface looks as good as the icon does and is still functional (though we won’t get into that debate here), this should end up being a great application.
