I haven’t been so glued to the internets looking at a new product since the PS3 release. So here’s a bunch of iPhone stuff in case you aren’t already sick of hearing about it.
Taking Apart the iPhone - The Systm guys drop and take apart the iPhone right outside an Apple store just after purchase.
More Than You Wanted To Know - From Engadget, A 30 minute video that walks through every screen.
You Can Still Get the iPhone - So much for standing in line for days, maybe I’ll actually venture out and get one.
Check Availability - Apple’s website lets you see if your local Apple store has the iPhone, when I checked last night most of the stores in Southern California still had stock.
Lady Has Get Rich Dream - Some real estate agent looking type woman tries to buy every iPhone at an at&t store only to be denied, she even gives the first person in line $800 for his spot. She got lucky, ebay prices are near retail.
Apple Co-Founder Gets Into the Act - Even Steve Wozniak needs to stand in line, well sort of. Steve Jobs promised to give Woz one on Saturday, but he wanted a few more and couldn’t wait for the free one.
More Than You Wanted to Know II - Engadget has been covering iPhone news non-stop for the last few days, even the regular readers are sick of it.

Damn, damn, damn, two freaking pins short of a perfect bowling game (probably describes my life too)! I’ll probably spend the rest of my life trying to get there. Kids, let me tell about the time I almost got a perfect game……….

Jericho was one of my favorite shows from last season, but CBS cancelled it after the season-ending cliffhanger due to low ratings. If you don’t know about Jericho you can catch up on episodes at CBS. So people started sending nuts to CBS in protest of the cancellation. I joined the fun and sent nuts via nutsonline.com. You have to watch the last episode to understand why fans were sending nuts. I never thought it would work, I just thought it would be amusing to send actual nuts to CBS. Turns out CBS decided to order 7 more episodes of Jericho to air mid-season next year due to the fan response. Hopefully the ratings will improve and Jericho can move on to more episodes. So next time one of your favorite shows gets cancelled don’t be afraid to let the network know how you feel, you just might get your show back.
PS….yes I have a life and I vote.

The last season of 24 was terrible! I’m just glad I survived the boredom that ensued after the terrorists were killed. I mean come on, how many freakin’ times is CTU gonna get invaded or blown up? How many times is Jack gonna go rogue? And what the hell was up with the ultra mushy ending with Jack staring off into the horizon after setting Audry “free”? What was the point of even bringing her back anyway, she was better off dead. Jack should of just jumped over the cliff and ended everyone’s misery. You know a show has gotten bad when you want the bad guys to win just to alleviate the boredom (go evil Chinese dudes!). Even worse I just didn’t care anymore, like does it really matter that Chloe is pregnant? Can’t wait to hear her saying stupid ass things to the baby next season. And if our government is anything like what they show on 24, I’m moving to Antarctica. I hope Wayne Palmer’s head explodes. Well at least I got to learn how long sex takes in the world of 24 (one commercial break).

Method Music is a weird website that create musical portraits based on the sound your voice, a picture of yourself, a random you create, and a rhythm you tap out. These inputs are then run though some kind of mathematical algorithm which spits out a “song” that is your musical portrait. Here is my portrait. It sounds like gibberish, so not sure what that says about me.

(Huh, huh, huh, thats what she said) Oh yeah, it could be bigger, this was the second to biggest size. I just grabbed a cup at random and didn’t realize how much Slurpee I had gotten until I started drinking it. I got sick of it about half way through, but I had to finish it for the challenge. Good thing I got the sugar free Crystal Lite flavor otherwise I would be in some sort of a caffeine/sugar coma if I had gotten the Mountain Dew flavor. Even though the Crystal Lite flavor was suppose to be sugar free it still tasted like I was going to suffer some kind of diabetic shock. Ah the wonders of chemical additives! The cats wouldn’t have anything to do with it, they made a run for it when they got a little whiff.

Got a chance to see Spider-Man 3 this morning at our employee screening and I’m very happy to report that it is really good, the best comic book movie since the first Batman movie. The writing, directing, and acting are all good. Topher Grace is great as Venom and Thomas Hayden Church is excellent as Sandman. For the comic book folks out there, Stan Lee has a big cameo in the middle of the movie. So go out there and see the movie already, or at least promise to see it on DVD.
