So doing my rounds on the apple blogs, I found an interesting write up over at Cult of Mac. It is a flickr find of Calvin and Jobs, a boy and his iCEO. There are only two images, but they are awesome. Check out the write up over at the CultofMac.com or check out the fliker photo set here.
Wouldn’t you know it!!! I just bought my new mac system with a 23″ cinema display and now there are rumors that apple is going to re-design and relsease a new version toward the beginning of new year. The hot news about this is that the cinema displays would use LED technology for the backlights. Which is all gret and everything. It’s apart of apples whole going greener and so forth.
Although there was no mention of it, I am interested to hear if the new cinema displays will have an iSight integrated into them!!! Since the 23″ cinema display that I got does not, I had to purchase a used iSight on ebay for about the same price as they orgianlly sold for. So if apple does release the new displays with iSignt in them, it will bug me JUST A LITTLE BIT!!!! But again, that is how apple gets you to buy more, by chanaging something and then re-releaseing it, hell, how many different designs have the iPod lines gone through?!?!?!?!
UPDATE: Here is TUAW posting about it
I have stumbled upon a new site called ficlets.
Basically: It’s a site about stories. You start a short story and then the community can and usually does pick it up. Or, you yourself can pick up anothers story and continue on.
This is a great way to pick up on my creative writting. Lookf for my ficlets on the blog soon!
So after upgrading to version 2.0 on my iPhone, I have been noticing that my iPhone stops checking for email after an hour or so. Well, this of course WILL NOT DO. I did a little searching over the the disussions forums at apple.com. I found a couple of discussions that might help..
Have to RESTART the iphone to get email to work
It sounds like it is something wrong with the code. Something that Apple clearly needs to fix! But in the mean time two things seem to work in order to keep checking for mail.
1: Shut down and restart the iPhone
2: Hold down the home button in mail until the home screen comes back. That basically closes mail. When you re-open mail it seems to work again. This is clearly the best option.
3: The other thing I heard was to reset the iPhone in iTunes. I haven’t tried that yet, but I will eventually!
PS: Check out the MAD paint skills on the image!!!
I received an email from a friend, Mike Poley over at CNN about an interesting article onthe Herlald Tribune about a guy that is flipping websites! You can read the whole article here.
Basically, a guy bought a website couple of years ago in a niche market where the website basically sucked! He re designed, marketed it and advertisted it all over the internet. He bought the site for under $2K and sold it WELL over $100K just a couple of years ago.
Now talk about craziness! I have never thought about flipping websites! Hell, I have all the tools and know how and if not, I am willing to learn! Now on to some searching!!! ;)
I am on my way to Phily for the day. Going to the TS2 Trade Show for work. Basically it is a trade show for trade shows! Exhibit manufacturers and swag dealers will be there. Who knows, exhibit manufacturers may need our type of services and products! So off “cold calling” I go!
BTW: Accela = AWESOME!
I just did a sales call up on the hill at 400 n cap… I normally park at Uniion Station and then walk to my sales call up on the hill. Well, 400 n cap is about 3 blocks away from Union Station. Today it is about 80+ degrees and HUMID! This morning I took my time, no rush, I had plenty of time to get there… Well, by the time I got to security to check in, I had started to sweat, not bad, but I definatly had a bead or two running down. Nothing nasty or anything, but enough to make me mad at myself.
Well, after to sales call it was another 3 blocks back to Union Station to get the car… By the time I got to the car, I had sweated just enough to really make me mad! I had to pump up the AC to cool off and get it under control.
This just proves my point that I know I am out of shape and need to do something about it. So of course it is part of my 101 in 1001 list to do something about it. I think this just means I might have to start this part of my list EARLY!
So Steve Jobs recently called a reporter at the New York Times to get things straight about his health. The best part is Steve’s opening line. He is basically telling the report that his is a jackass and that he sucks, but he, Steve wants to tell him about his health and what it means…. OFF THE RECORD. WTF, whaat good does that do???
Well, people all over the interent have an opinion about this one! But over at the Real Dan Lyons, he has taken it a step further. He has been “getting” calls from other Tech geeks to complain and go off the record. It’s pretty holarious! Check out the post here…..
Kevin Rose calls to non-rebut rumors about Digg and Google acquisition talks
Sergey Brin calls to non-comment on Cuil
Like I have been saying, most of the pain is gone. It still hurts in the morning on the left side. I am hoping that this will subside by Tuesday at the latest. Just another day of getting things done.
Here I am, day 2 and doing nicely. My right side is doing good with no pains, but the left side still hurts a little. All and all I feel good. I made the mistake of watching BBQ on the food network and it real made me miss solid food!
Right now I am stuck on soft and liquid foods till Monday. Everyone said I might not make it in on friday, but at this rate I should be good to go!
