iPad Hype

So I am definitely not a big Apple person, but when I got my iPhone it quickly became the most treasured device I own. That being said, I'm actually pretty excited about the iPad, and this video certainly enhances that feeling.



I can definitely see how I personally would take advantage of this device. I'm not quite certain what the terms of service might be. Obviously if I could somehow take advantage of the contract I already have with AT&T for service that would be awesome, but I need to do more research. Oh, and if they can hack it, Watch Out! Good price point too. I will continue to monitor this and post about it as more info becomes available.
This video is too funny to not include, definitely regaining popularity around the net since Apple's official release:


PS3 is finally "hacked"


Wow, so this is another piece of very interesting news. GeoHotz, the guy who first hacked the iPhone, has released an exploit that sometimes causes an overflow that gives programmers access to certain levels of memory in the PS3 software. I'm not too sure of how it all works, but it looks promising. You can download the exploit here and run it on your PS3, if you think you know what you're doing.

Cruising on my 20"

There's a certain sense of liberty not having my car at the moment. Having to use other modes if transportation forces me to take a closer look at Austin. I feel like I appreciate it a little more after each ride. This van is sitting in a parking lot by downtown, nothing revolutionary but it reinforces how cool of a place I live

Facebook...it's like crack

Super Street Fighter 4: New Characters and New Ultra's

Freaking Sweet!! I can't wait for this to come out, even though I know there's substantial disapproval from the arcade crowd because it's a straight-to-console release. Check out the wiki for more specific info

Bad Luck

Wednesday night was kinda slow at the restaurant and I was planning on going straight home, but Dallas, Gilbert and Maren persuaded me to go with them to Doc's. As I'm driving out of the parking lot, I see a blue Suburban at the stop sign of the intersection I'm about to turn left at. I'm making the turn with my headlights and turn signal on and the guy just drives straight into my drivers side door. Neither one of us was going more than 10mph so there wasn't much risk of injury.
I immediately crawled out of the car through the passengers door because the drivers door was smashed in an stuck. The guy got out of the Suburban as well and I proceeded to ask if he didn't see me, he did. He said he saw me and went anyway, he didn't know why. I knew he was wasted right away. I told him I was calling the cops. They show up, run field sobriety tests on both of us, he failed and I passed. The officer was really cool with me. Just waiting to hear from insurance company now.

Day Off

Ran some errands, now back at home. Relaxing, before Laura's friends come into town.
