Thieves steal $10,000 of gear from an Apple Store →
Thieves broke into an Apple Store in Palo Alto, California, and within two minutes had nabbed $10,000 worth of gear, including six laptops (gotta be MacBook Pros, right?) and two iPhones. And apparently they trucked right over to Los Gatos, and did the same thing about an hour later. There’s no dollar figure from the second robbery, but more laptops and iPhones were stolen. It’s...
Thank You Mother Nature
Well, it’s New Year’s Eve and I’m home. The snow kind of put a damper on my grand plans because if it wasn’t already dangerous to drive, now we add ice, sleet, snow and freezing rain. Well, I think I figured out an alternative. We’ll see what happens.

EVERY 30 gig Zune died last night →
Wow, this is crazy. Yet, somehow I’m kind of smiling on the inside. That’s why I stick with Apple.
kevinspellman:
LMAO. That is why I stick to Apple Products. marco:

This is hilarious. A software bug made every 30GB-model Zune crash last night at 2 AM, and they won’t reboot properly.
edit: I’m still laughing about this a half-hour later. The various comments...

Steve Jobs' Health Declining Rapidly, Reason for... →
I really don’t know if it’s anyone’s business. I understand the point that Apple has an established following (I’m one of them) but who can blame them for keeping this low-key. If they said “Apple is no longer holding a Keynote at the Macworld expo because Steve Jobs is getting worse, do you think their stock would do anything but plummet. People need to slowly get...
Near Death Experience
I feel you pain. I’ve done this so many times. Each stain on the carpet at the top of my stairs tells a story. :)

This just happened to me a few seconds ago and I just had to blog about it. So I was carrying a hot hot bowl of chocolate oatmeal. I was walking up the stairs and I tripped and nearly smashed my face into the oatmeal. Then I awkwardly stumbled my way to my room...

Tip To Make $$$: Dumb iPhone Apps
So this story really made me laugh. Ever since the creation of Apple’s App Store, there has been a lot of developers coming through the woodwork and releasing applications for the iPhone and iPod touch. These apps are anything from Tap Tap, a really awesome and addicting game that is much like Guitar Hero to others like Zippo Lighter that simulates a lighter on your phone. Some people...
Losers?
Me: Well, I'm gonna go and watch The Dark Knight again. I'll talk to you later.
Traci: You're such a loser. I'm gonna go watch Planet Earth.
Me: Wow, so I guess we're even.

I Forgot How Awesome The Dark Knight Was
So one of my christmas gifts was “The Dark Knight” DVD. Anyway, I was sitting around without much to do so I decided to watch it. The last time I saw it was in IMAX about a week or two after it came out. It was so good. It’s such a long and epic movie and to quote my best friend, after I watched it I felt like “I just had amazing sex and need a cigarette”. Kind of a...

New Look
So, I’m starting a pretty big design change to my entire set of websites and projects. I’m calling it the “2009 Rebranding” because I want to cut down on websites that are just wasting money and focus in on good ideas. I’ll be announcing some cool new websites and other stuff I’m going to be working on but I had to start somewhere.

I Digress..
I would like to make a short comment about a previous post I made regarding Twilight.
I made some assumptions about it without knowing much about it and in the process, an innocent technological device was savagely attacked without mercy from a twofold opposition. I retract my previous comments, not because I do not believe them, but for the sake of Mr. Jobs and the rest of the iPhone-loving...
Twilight?
I just don’t get it. I don’t understand where it came from, why it’s popular, why it’s suddenly everywhere, why there’s a movie, why there’s a sick following, why it’s invaded Facebook bumper stickers, etc.

Diddy's Biggest Downfall: Himself
So, I finally got the chance to sit down and watch the last few episodes of “Making the Band 4” on MTV. I had heard a lot of stuff about the demise of Danity Kane and the removal of Aubrey and D.Woods from the group but I didn’t really understand why.
Basically, Diddy took the problems the group was dealing with, oversimplified and demeaned it and then expected them to take...

TSO Concert
Just got back from the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert at the Nassau Coliseum. It was insane. Like absolutely nuts, hands down best concert I’ve ever been to. It was just great. The special surprise guest was Steven Tyler which was pretty cool but the star of the show was the effects. It was just insane - still speechless. Pictures and more tomorrow when I regain normal thought process and...

Up Early & Headed Home
So today I’m headed back to Long Island for winter break. I’ll be home for something like five weeks which is pretty awesome. My flight is a little later but I’m up really early to do some ambulance driver training - yeah, I drive one of those now. Pretty interesting.
