The Windleverse

This was just to awesome to pass up at Fred Meyer.

I’m on my way to Las Vegas and got to ride the new Sound Transit connector to SeaTac airport that opened today.

Two out of three of my favoret modes of transportation in one day what could be better.

George Lucas eat your heart out. Wookey Hole cheese. Cave aged in England (by Jedi).

This cheder cheese has a strong unrefined sharp flavor. While eating one can almost imagin a mild hairy wookey undertone.

For once I get what I want for Christmas.

A video of myself running through the snow.

As the title describes I have an iPhone 3G now and in the tradition of getting a new device that can update wordpress, this post is being written on that device.

Many of you may be thinking “Jonathan + iPhone = WTF?” and trust me I’m with you here but let me start from the beginning.

On 2008-04-04 I left Photo & Sound Saving and began a search for a new job. At the time I thought I would be starting a new career at The City Of Bothell but it was not to be. Instead I was beat out by yet another idiot with a degree which is funny considering where I ended up. 2008-06-30 I was hired on at Bellevue Community College as a Network Admin.

So back to the iPhone. AT&T offers state employees a 15% discount on their monthly bills. It’s like w00t where do I sign up. The catch being a have to sign a new two year contract. Thus in renewing my contract I got an iPhone.

Here are the likes and dislikes so far.

Likes:
Capacitive Touchscreen
Makes E-Mail useful and fun again
No more worrying about finding open WiFi for Internet
Interface very fast to navigate

Dislikes:
NO T9 Input Interface!
Lack to copy and paste
Not enough key applications for free in App Store. SSH Client just to name one
Not a true multi-tasking OS.

As the Christmas dust settles I find myself staring at a wonderful white box. In my hand a controller blinks with four flashing blue LEDs. As I turn on the system the TV might as well be a black-hole sucking my free waking hours into the space time continuum. This new little Nintendo system is just awesome.

This is my first post using my Newton Messagepad 2100. It’s a little strange to be using an Internet device that was made before Internet devices were even thought of. I guess that’s what you get when you put standard technology like pcmcia in a device made by Apple with enough crazy cult followers and developers to keep the platform alive for 9 years after the product has been abandoned by it’s creator.

For $100 I think I will get my money’s worth out of it. The best 802.11b purchase I ever made has to be my Orinoco Gold card. I don’t think I have found a device yet that it doesn’t work in.

Well that’s enough text to make a post. We will see if nBlog work’s correctly or not.

On July 3rd I got a chance to broadcast my voice and some of my own music selections to unsuspecting listeners in the local Everett Washington area.

Last Monday I went back again to the Nintendo employee store. I have spent far to much money on Nintendo stuff in the last two weeks but I am now caught up on Nintendo game system releases for the US. This does mean I finally own a gamecube. It’s probably a good thing that Jeff (Nintendo Guy) is leaving Nintendo because having regular access to the employee store there would be very dangerous to my bank account. Needless to say I’m a sucker for really good prices on electronic devices.
