My new Twitter client

I got a couple iTunes gift cards for my birthday so I thought I'd actually try buying an twitter app from the app store. 

Luke mundy, a buddy of mine, used Twittelator Pro and was showing me cool features that it has. The absolute best thing about it is it's ability to create subgroups. So now I can follow that random business mogul or celebrity but they don't clog up my stream of people that I actually care about. 

My biggest negative so far is that it is quite a bit slower than Twitterfon, but we'll see. I've got $4.99 invested in it now!

See what happenned the year you were born

Milka, one of my friends at work, emailed me a link to this site. You gotta check it out. Look up the year you were born, the year you graduated high school, the year you were in 8th grade...whatever. It's fun.

Check out your year HERE.

crazy cool art

This is just one example of how cool this stuff is. The artist's task was to create art with only using once piece of paper.

Go HERE to see a lot more.

back in business

my boy just came out from comcast and got me all hooked back up. We've been without the internet for 2 days. So, we had to go out of town!
Actually, it was kind of nice not being "connected" for a little while.

Art is...

This is a fun little personality test thing. It wasn't spot on, but still worth the two minutes it took me to do it. Go check out the website:

Here are my results:

new Mac ad

These are all so funny because they are true. After you use a Mac for awhile, you forget about having to navigate through virus protection software and stupid error messages.

Simplifying my life

Well, it's been a couple years and I'm finally making some technological switches in my house. I have had Dish Network for a couple years now, I stuck with them when they dropped MTV and then watched as we all complained and they put it back on. I started with 2 TV's and 2 recievers to now where I have one reciever that works 2 TV's and can also store 100 hours of digital content. It's been great. There are just a couple things that have consistently got on my nerves and today I dropped them. I wanted to network them into my AT&T bill to get a price reduction, but they wouldn't let me and they also wouldn't let me cancel and then set it up again with AT&T unless I waited 6 months. So, C-YA! I am also dropping my SBC DSL this week too.

Comcast is my new provider. It is a little more expensive, (about $20 a month) but, it is hard-lined into my house, I don't have to reconfigure a dish, and the Broadband is faster than the DSL. The guy comes on Saturday, just in time for the season premiere of 24 on Sunday, so, wish me luck. Also, if anyone out there uses Vonage, I'm interested in seeing what you think. Maybe I'm a sucker for good advertising. I love those Comcastic commercials!

Plus, the new Apple TV and Apple Extreme require Broadband. Just covering all my bases and preparing for some cool gadgets.
