Biting the bullet… 2008-06-16 12:15:51 So I went ahead and ordered what I need to get started in iPhone development. If nothing else I will get some exposure to development outside of web scripting. Wish me luck!!!
Anyone got any good ideas for iPhone Applications?

iPhone Developer…. 2008-06-16 00:59:24 I am thinking of taking a swing at developing for the iPhone
. I need to upgrade to my laptops OS to Leopard and there will be a steep learning curve since I have never done any compiled language programming.
On the other hand I don’t think mobile computing is going away anytime soon and the iPhone [...] Read more:Developer
Weekend Movie Re-cap… 2008-06-17 01:02:06 I escaped the heat this weekend by staying indoors as much as humanly possible. I ended up watching a bunch of movies this weekend.
Jumper: Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. It’s worth checking out.
The Other Boleyn Girl: I nominate this movie for a special effects award. They managed to [...] Read more:Weekend
Vacation… 2008-06-27 22:23:46 I am officially on vacation for the next nine days!! Of course I am a bit of a workaholic so I am sure I will feel weird not going to work on Monday morning. I know how ever I need the down time to recharge a bit.

Sick Car Update Update… 2008-06-24 18:09:35 So the word from the transmission shop the issue is the “Speed Sensor” needs to be replaced and the transmission fluid needs changing all to the tune of $314. Needless to say I am relieved. When it comes to transmissions the cost of repair can escalate quickly.
I will hopefully be picking the car up Thursday [...] Read more:Update
Erase and install… 2008-06-23 09:38:43 The first step I needed to take in developing for the iPhone was upgrading the OS on my Macbook to Leopard. I made the decision I was going to do a clean install
and what that means is my hard drive will be erased then the new OS will be installed. While I was pretty [...] Read more:Erase
Sick Car Update… 2008-06-22 00:14:59 Well $330 later the car had it’s oil changed, 2 new belts, and a new battery. I was hopeful that the problem might have stemmed from low voltage due to a corroded battery terminal, but on my home from the shop after picking up the car the check engine light came on again. Needless to [...] Read more:Update
Sick Car… 2008-06-21 11:43:47 For the past month or 2 periodically the check engine light would come on in my car and it would feel like the car was stuck in first or second gear. At first it would happen maybe two times a month, but this past week it did it maybe 4-8 times. Last night I was [...]
Goodbye Netflix… 2008-06-20 00:17:00 Netflix has announced that they will be eliminating their “Profiles” feature. “Profiles” basically allows Nicole and I to have 2 separate lists, or queues, of movies. When Nicole returns one of her movies she gets the next movie in her list and when I return one of my movies I get the next in my [...] Read more:Goodbye
Kayaking on Lake Travis… 2008-06-30 18:54:04 Sunday morning Nicole and I headed out to Lake Travis
to do some paddling. We met up with Roland, Kearney and his girlfriend Robin. We launched from Cyperess Creek County Park. We paddled approximately 2.5 to 3 miles stopping along the way to take a quick dip.
When we got home Nicole and I took a [...] Read more:Kayaking
Still here… 2008-07-15 18:23:51 My week of vacation was great! Ben has been out on vacation which has added to my work load, but things are going smooth. On Monday I launched a new blog, uRevoo, where I am writing reviews of iPhone Applications. I am trying to get a surplus of reviews written so I don’t feel rushed [...]

SummerMash Austin 2008 2008-08-01 00:09:25 Last night I attended SummerMash Austin
sponsored by Mashable.com. I took along my new Flip Mino and shot some video. Tonight I edited the footage in iMovie and uploaded it. I apologize in advance for my lack of camera operating skills and the audio is a bit harsh since it was so loud in Buffalo [...]

Obama + Text Messages = FAIL 2008-08-23 00:29:43 Barack Obama
’s 2008 Presidential Campaign has been an Internet/Social Media darling. His website has earned his campaign grassroots financial support, I am a member of their email list I think I get at least an email a day if not more, and he is also the most followed person on Twitter.com.
So I thought it was [...]
Long time, no post… 2008-08-22 01:23:09 Wow, where did August go? I apologize for the lack of updates. Between work, watching the Olympics and a personal web project I am developing I have been very busy lately. I have also been working out. I am following a program laid out at hundredpushups.com and you can follow my progress at fitby35.com. My [...]
Hello Wisconson!!! 2008-09-08 10:55:33 No I am not in land of cheese heads nor do I plan on travel there any time soon. The title of this post refers to the theme song of “That 70’s Show”. Nicole recently got me hooked on the show, which is now in syndication. We’ve been recording 2-4 episodes a day on the [...] Read more:Hello

Movie: Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist 2008-10-04 00:41:36 Tonight Nicole and I went to see “Nick and Norah
’s InfinitePlaylist
” and it was a very funny, coming of age love story. I know that whole sentence was pretty much a movie review cliche, but it’s 100% true. Take a date, sit close, hold hands, and laugh your ass off.
Michael Cera once again [...]
Double 3’s 2008-09-26 20:51:27 Today I turned 33 and to be honest it all seems to be a blur to me. In my mind last week I was 16, a few days ago I was 21 and now I’m 30 something. When I was younger people in their 30’s seemed pretty old, but now that I am in my [...]
