I’d be quite happy if this was an actual device… (cough *app on the apple tablet* cough)
these new Verizon adverts against AT&T are NOT trying to kill the iPhone, they are trying to kill AT&T. this ad especially, while Verizon places a (knock-off) iPhone into the “Land of Misfits”, the ad really makes the iPhone seem like a good phone while BASHING AT&T.
so, while those iDon’t commercials were obviously anti-iPhone. these new commercials are oddly not. as recent rumors and these ads suggest, an iPhone on Verizon is definitely possible. picture those commercials, I can hear the announcer now: “the best device has arrived on the nation’s best network: the iPhone, on Verizon.”
if Apple added this feature, there’s a good chance I’d throw a party. Other party worth additions: a notification panel (android/webOS style), the new (really good) Google apps [i.e. Google Voice, Maps w/ Latitude and Navigation], push Gmail support built-in (not via Exchange), an Apple built iChat or BBM-like app, and lastly (I’d probably go nuts for this one): video-chatting.
ps: OceanObservations does some other great iPhone mock-ups too.
having a desk is essential.
posted 5 months agothis past weekend, I decided to do something I should’ve done this same time last year.
backstory: last september, i decided I needed to redo my room. my bed was too small, my desk too small; thus, redo. so I went out and got a new (bigger) bed, and a new sleek, more modern (bigger) desk. wanting the comfort, I set up my new bed immediately. and boy was/is it comfortable. but the desk, I set up the frame and never took the time to finish it. so, I just did my work from my bed, and while I got it all done, there were a few nights where I simply fell asleep while working, waking up at 6 in the morning with my laptop next to me, books scattered over my body.
so, summer came and since I had no real work to do over summer, I just let the desk remain unfinished.
but then school started again. and the same process began: late nights, crappy work, etc. so this past weekend, i (with major push from my parents) decided to finish the desk.
basically: it is nice to have a desk. now i’ve got an actual setup that is meant for working. I’ve got my laptop (which will soon be hooked up to a 24” LED Cinema Display), some nice Altec Lansing speakers, a keyboard, and (come tomorrow) a Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch will become my mouse (it’s hard to go back to a regular mouse after using the MBP trackpad). productivity wise, i’m getting at least two hours more of sleep a night because I’m actually getting work done and i’m much more relaxed because I’m not running around school jittery for not getting my work done.
and I’ve found a new iPhone application that is INCREDIBLE for school: iStudiez Pro. it lets you input all of your courses, different class times, and assignments - great for school productivity.
not a fan of school work.

the Open draw
posted 6 months ago
not so sure how I feel about this draw. you’ve *possibly* got Roddick v Federer / Murray v Nadal semi match ups. I’d love to see an Andy v Andy finals match, but I would’ve killed for a Roddick v Federer final, the excitement level would’ve been insane.
no matter. it’s still Roddick’s time.
