No more C’s.. for now.

And I plan to keep it that way.

I got my grade up from a 71=C to  83=B in my Spanish 1 class. I am proud of myself. Now, I got to work hard, and keep all good grades. My other grade that I have to be careful is English. But, I have a B in there too.

School is going smoothly, going by fast.  Ah geeze, life goes by quick ;)

English is a killer. So much work. I actually got to work on some later tonight.

Totally awesome

iPod touch Mini review~

Ok, I got to spend 30 minutes with an iPod Touch. When entering the Apple store, I breezed right on by the Classics. And, all I needed was the 30 minutes to convince me that the Touch was the ‘pod. Everything about it was wonderful. And, Apple fixed the screen deficiencies. So, I give it an A- in my book. Ill give a fuller review when I can actually spend atleast a week with it. But, here is a mini review.
Great stuff about it; The large screen is awesome. It doesnt matter if it is a touchscreen, it just looks marvelous. Viewing in landscape is nicely done. But, you cannot have the iPod laying down. It must be held, or the accelerometer will not function correctly. It is nice and bright, and crystal clear in the menus. I did not get to play with any videos, but I expect them to look nice on the new Touch screens.
The built in Safari was quick and fast. Rendered pages nicely. But, it will probably depend on how fast your network is too. With several online apps appearing with use of the iPhone, you can use them with the Touch too. I found several IM apps browsing the net today. But, the bad thing about running through the web, is, you have to be connected. A more logical way is to just hack your Touch, and use different apps when you want to, and not be restricted by wireless signals.
Music is fun to navigate :) I am starting to become a fan of coverflow now, and it looks fresh on the screen. Very easy to use, and I thought Steve could not make it easier to find your music ;) I hve read other reviews about the Sound quality to not be on par. But, compared t my slightly older iPod Photo, it sounded better. I may have to use better headphones, but it sounds great. Album art is displayed in the background of your “Now Playing” screen. Overall, the music is nicely executed.
The physical appearance of it is amazing. It is abnormally thin! It feels nice in your hand. And, with only two physical buttons, nothing sticks out on the facade too much. The antenna on the back of it (the little black part) sat flush with the rest of the back.

Not so positive parts; Lack of memory. Given that it is only 8gb or 16gb, you can almost tell that Apple is not trying to publicize that the Touch is for carrying around your music and video collection. It s meant to have the good half of your library in your pocket. The Touch is displayed as a device to enjoy your music and videos and photos on a large touch screen.
The lack of Apps from Apple kind of stinks too. Steve stated that the Touch uses the same OS as the iPhone, so why not throw on the Mail Client and Google Maps?
Battery life is not as great as Apple likes to say. While stating that it will play for 22 ours of audio only, you have to ead the fine print on how they got it to do so. They optimized playback time by playing the songs continuously with the screen off, and not messing with it at all. Most people like to skip songs, and pause. Oh well.

That is all I really messed with before my parents rushed me out of Heaven on Earth.

Woot.

I got an A on an English projet. Made me very happy. But, it only got my grade up 2 percentage points. I need a high B for my mom to be happy.

I still need to get a new YTW up. Very sorry.

A causality in my family [of electronics]

My iPod ear buds have tally stopped working… So, now, I cant listen to my iPod, for a while. Its okay, I guess. But, I dont want to wait till Dec. to get new headphones. I have a bit of money, but I am saving it up. I might get a new iPod for my birthday. Since they come with headphones, I dont want to waste money on headphones, unless they have a lot of bang for the buck.

Makes me very upset…

Atleast, the iPod still works :)

P.S. Working on getting a new YTW up.

Just a pause.

I havent updated in a few. Sorry bout that. I was just into other stuff right then. More posts to come tonight.

What I will try to make shortly:

  1. A page on things to do for the blog.
  2. New YouTube of the Week

That is all. For now. Dinner then posting :) CHICKEN!

Theres something in my water…

It looks wickedly weird. Flakes of something in it. No more of that water. Bottles of water now.

Nothing much is up. Ill stay up late tonight, sleep in :) Play some gameage, or, hopefully, go to a friends house. That will eb cool. Ill probably just game there though, hehe.

Otherwise, time for me to complain about school some more.  Well, I am dooing good in most of my classes, except, Spanish. I just cant do it. I am having a lot of trouble in that class. Done with complaining about school.

Oh goodness, I want the touch 2341256238y4% more now. I love what I have seen so far. The unboxing pictures, demoing pics and vids, are beautiful. I can not wait to see this in person. I cant wait to own it, if I get one.

I am thinking of looking up another YTW (YouTube of the Week). Probably will.

I am surprised I a still blogging on this. Nobody that I even partially know, read it. Ah well, with over 500 views, I am not quiting now.

I feel like writing a lot. But, I am going to save it for another few posts tonight.Gets more traffic then a bunch in one post.

YouTube #1

Im going to try to post one cool, or something that will get me going, youtube vid a week. Heres the first.

A tribute to a gadget thats on my mind all the time now.

Its starting to click.

I am starting to understand Spanish more and more. I stil cant pronounce anything to well :) But, I can write it out nicely. Well, for a 3 week student, its nice to know I can understand some of it.

Other school is going ok. I did horrible on 1 of my English quizzes. But, we are doing a project, that can make up for it (well, thats what my teacher said). Ive got to work hard in that class. Ive got to do good on all my classes. I need to get atleast 3.8 GPA to get into the good colleges I want.

Ill probably game soon. Ill play some computer games.

Back to school. Wow, I am having tons of homework this year. I guess, its a give and take. I would rather have great teachers, and lots of homework, instead of crap teachers, and no homework. I have done a lot tonight. Still doing it. Just taking a break.

Sniff, sniff, *achoo*

I have a bit of a cold right now… It totally sucks. But, Im ok overall though. I need to do soem English homework though.

What else is new… I totally want one of the new ipods. Most likely the touch.
