Its been a couple days since my DC trip with Becca and my family. I hope to soon have photos from the trip up on here. That may take a little while as we have plenty of photos to go through here.
Also, Christmas is right around the corner (20 days away in fact)….I have no idea what I want other than a new laptop.
At least according to this little survey (takes like five to 10 minutes to complete). I was fairly even all across the board in how I learn.
Then again I have always been a balanced learner. I remember getting tested for this kind of thing back in grade school and I was even across the board like this.
Anyways it was fun to do again even though the questioning is a little odd to me. A lot of answers come up as “Sometimes” for me.
Sometimes you just can’t make things up. I saw this link on CNN earlier and thought there was no way it was a real story but indeed it is. A new space race. Build an elevator into space.
Wow.
Okay, so I thought I would blog some from ACL and that never happened. ACL was great though, I’m exhausted but it was totally worth going. I saw more bands that I probably would never get to see in a single weekend ever again.
Bands I enjoyed:
Others that were alright:
I will try to put up any photos that I got from the weekend when I can.
I am coming to you all tonight from the road! Gotta love being able to blog anywhere these days, even without a computer! Yup, I’m on my phone blogging!
Anyways, Becca and I are on our way to Austin for ACL. I may try to blog more on my phone while I am there.
Yeah, during the week I’m a Mac. And for the time being on the weekends (and in the mornings before work), I’m a PC.
I will probably get a Mac down the road once they release their new line up laptops.
Microsoft decided to release this ad to debunk the I’m A PC stereotype, if you want to call it a stereotype.
I still like the Mac commercials better though…
Hooray! One of my favorite widgets is now an app on my iPhone. Big Bucket Production’s TV Forcast is up and running. I must say it was a pleasant surprise this afternoon when I loaded it up on the phone’s web browser and saw that it was available on the App Store.
So far, I love it more than the widget and the web app combined! They did an excellent job.
Basically what TV Forcast does is you add your favorite shows and it tells you how many days until the next airing of the show. It even gives a beautiful little logo of your show and a description (if provided) of the next episode. Its handy for people like me who only like a certain number of shows and typically forget when they come on. Plus you can also send email reminders on this app as well to yourself or to a friend!
Most people know I am an iPhone lover. I’ve had an iPhone since about this time last year and I absolutely love it. This year I got even more hyped up about my phone’s potential awesomeness with the new App Store that Apple unveiled back in July. I had pretty much been waiting on it all year, even though my phone was jailbroken and had some 3rd party apps on it before then.
Since the App Store came out I have probably flooded my phone with cool and exciting things. But it wasn’t all peachy and sweet. Before the ‘2.0’ software came out with the App Store the phone worked flawlessly. Hardly any bumps in the road and only a need of a reset from time to time.
With the App Store came bugs, and lots of them. Apple has had two “bug fix” updates since July with more on the way. Its almost like the phone software went from stable and awesome to crazy and annoying.
I love many of the features but day after day some bugs appear out of no where. Just today I read that there was a new security bug with the phone. Great! Just what we all need, people hacking out phones in midair. Apple is expected to patch it up once more just as they have always done.
I just miss that stablity with this phone. It’s still the best thing I’ve ever bought for myself but the bugs get quite annoying from time to time. At least they don’t interupt my playing of de Blob!
