I’m working on my post on the Echo Conference from a few weeks ago, but figured I’d blog something just to keep this train a’rollin.
So I finally broke down and bought an iPhone. I had held out because I didn’t want my phone to dominate my life like it did during my brief stint with a Treo a couple years back. I’d have panic attacks if I couldn’t find it or left for work without it. That’s just not healthy. But I decided to make the compromise by vowing not to have my work email sent to it, just my personal. I really think I made the right decision. My phone isn’t constantly chiming during meetings like everyone else’s phones on staff. I also love Twitterific and the Facebook app. Not to mention the ability to make my own ringtones. Now if only I can find a college football app that will update scores in “real” time. I would think this idea was a given, but I’ve not found one that really does that yet. Suggestions?
I find myself reading CNN and Drudge far more than Fox News nowadays. I don’t have a problem with Fox leaning right…it’s just that they’ve been so sensationalistic lately with borderline obnoxious headlines. Come on, guys. You’re losing your integrity.
I’ve kind of rediscovered Digg recently. Not sure how we grew apart, but we’ve kind of been seeing other people over the last two years. I hope we never fight again. Digg and FARK are the best sites for random news. I highly recommend them.
Love how the new iPod nanos are back to their original design. Those squat ones were awful.
Lines for gas are getting out of hand in Dallas. Stupid Ike. Sposed to hit around midnight here. But we’re only supposed to get lots of rain. Should be exciting.
Still mourning VT’s first week loss. Feels like everyone lost that week. I mentioned that to my new Tech Arts co-worker Blake; to which he replied, “well…only half of them lost.” *zing!*
Been watching the entire X-files series over the last couple months. I’m in Season 4 and it’s tremendously better than the earlier seasons. Even the standalone episodes are much better. Also, apparently Terminator is back on. I missed the season premiere. You need to check out this show if you’ve ever liked the movies. It’s solid.
Ok, that’s it for now. I’ll have the Echo post up in the next couple days.
