Volunteering...


So Friday night Dave told me that I needed to volunteer at the Holladay 5k Classic. We would be standing at the intersection of Haven Lane and Cottonwood Lane directing people to run up the hill. The best part was I needed to pick him up at 6:30am so we could be in our spots at 7. WAY EARLY for a Saturday morning! Anyway, I made him sweeten the deal by getting him to wear skintight yellow jerseys and big foam cowboy hats! Therefore, it was on!

Enough to make a good man start swearing!!!!

I just wanted to write a quick note and let you know what I’ve been thinking about. My father put a newspaper article on my desk today that made me furious! It’s from the “News of the Weird” section of the paper:


Unpoetic justice for Duke players

Two men did not graduate from Duke University in May because they were two of the three lacrosse players accused of rape in March 2006 and were forced to suspend their academic pursuits in order to defend themselves against the charges that were later dismissed. Another ’08 student did graduate in May in Durham, from North Carolina Central University: Crystal Mangum, the drug-abusing, part-time stripper who had relentlessly accused the three of raping her but whose story was later found to be completely unsupported. Mangum’s degree is in police psychology.


That is enough to make a good man start swearing!!! Anyway… That is all…

iPhone? iPhone!


Not long after the Vegas trip, like the next week my phone blew up. It did this fancy little trick where the screen turns white and does not work. AWESOME!!! Therefore, I decided to bite the bullet and get an iPhone. The problem was that I have a killer plan through t-mobile and I did not want to go with AT&T because they are CRAPPY. Therefore, I studied up on how to hack it to make it work with another server. It is remarkably easy! If you want to get one and need some help hit me up because I would love to help. Anyway, I thought that I would list the pros and cons of the iPhone…so…transition…NOW:


Pros:
Email on the phone. Very handy for business.
Third Party software downloads. I have an amortization calculator on my phone thanks to some computer nerd. It comes in handy. I also have a dictionary, dominos, billiards, eBook reader.
Maps program that has routing capabilities. Being a former delivery boy, I did not think that I would use this very often, but I do and I love it!
Handy for picturesI can keep my most recent and my most awesome photos on the phone i.e. Moustache Party Pics.
It holds my 4-5 star playlist from iTunes with “a bit” of room to spare.
It logs the text messages so you can read back on your conversation. It is like an IM chat log. Really Cool!!!


Cons:
No picture messages. I think that is totally gay! Not like “homosexual” gay, or “happy/jovial” gay but the gay that you use to describe a fanny pack. Just gay. It is the coolest phone but it does not send or receive picture messages. That is totally gay!
The Camera does not take very good pictures. Almost every picture I take is blurry. I think I was spoiled with my Samsung that took killer KA-BLAMO pictures. Maybe I need to work on my dexterity, coordination, or something but I cannot take a steady picture to save my life. If I was taking still life pictures with a tripod mount, it might not be fuzzy.
It does not take video. There is third party software that you can BUY, but who wants to pay for software when someone will make it free in 3 weeks.

All in all, I really like the phone. I love the interface and I love the keyboard. It took a bit to get used to but now I type a lot faster than my old phone pad type thingy on text messages. I have chubby fingers and really do not have much trouble with it.
