My beautiful and very awesome wife bought me a 16Gb iPod
Touch for Christmas this year, and I must say, I absolutely
love it. I never intended to get an iPhone because I just
can't stand the fact that you have to go with AT&T as your
carrier. I've been satisfied with T-Mobile, and really
didn't want to leave them. So, the Touch was a great
alternative. I've been playing around with It for a few
days now, and I'm in love. What's to love you ask? Let me
list them for you:
- Wi-Fi access
- Direct access to iTunes
- The App Store
- Video playback: I can now carry this on a plane to watch
movies on as opposed to lugging around my laptop all the
time
Music library
- Touch screen: this thing is phenomenal. I thought the
typing on it would be difficult, but to my pleasant
surprise, it's very easy to get used to. In fact, I'm
writing this entire post with it right now.
- My favorite part, however, is the personalized engraving
that my wife had put on the back.
Overall, I would absolutely recommend an iPod Touch to
anyone. It has nearly everything the iPhone has, except for
the phone service, and the constant Internet access.
Personally, I can do without this. That is what my
Blackberry is for. ;)

I just upgraded to version 2.7 of WordPress and I must
say, I'm pretty impressed. This is a completely new design,
which is surprising, since the last "new" design was done
only a few versions ago. These changes, however, are very
welcome. So far I'm digging the new interface.
I'm actually writing this post from the "QuickPress"
section of the "Dashboard". I'll have to play around with
it a little more, but for right now, I'm liking what I
see.

The other day, while at work, listening to songs in my
iTunes library, I got fed up. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy
listening to music, however, after a while I get sick of
listening to only music. So, I decided to give the iTunes
store a chance, and take a gander at some audio podcast
options. I went to the comedy section, and low and behold,
I found an awesome podcast that I have been listening to
constantly for the past week. The name of the podcast is
called "Uhh Yeah Dude (UYD for short)" and
is hosted by two guys from LA, Seth Romatelli and Jonathan
Larroquette. If you recognize the second name, like I did,
you're probably wondering if he's related. The answer is
yes, he's his son.
Anyway, this is a very entertaining podcast. These guys
give great commentary on current affairs from around the
globe that you may not have heard about. They like to
discuss what's going on in Hollywood, and also, my personal
favorite, "What's on Craigslist?". And can I ask, if you
wouldn't mind terribly, can you possibly, maybe remove that
and sort of expose the twins for me?
So, if you're in the mood for something funny, and have
grown tired of listening to music, give this podcast a shot. Plus, it's
free, and there are currently 143 episodes to satisfy your
comedic hunger.
