Its a Wonderful Saturday Gnite.

I am happy. Got some wonderful bottled water*. And, it is chilly! I love the cold.

The Winter is only suitable season for me :) Until, I find a place with mountains, that has snow all year long. Snowboarding every weekend would be a dream.

To briefly mention snowboarding, I have been snowboarding for around 3ish years now. Wonderful sport, if you call it that. I own a board, but no boots. So, I usually just rent everything. I go with friends, and we get a discount on the tickets and gear. I am not extremely good yet, but I can ride nicely. I still am trying to master the swaying motion, where you see a person lean backwards, then forwards, and back again, and so on. I am not worried to learn how to do many tricks yet. Just to ride smoothly, and without much falling. I snowboard up in Tahoe, the Nevada part. I hope for my feet to stop growing, so I can get some permanent gear. And, I am trying to get my parents into skiing, so I can go snowboarding more often </done>

I am probably going to surf net for a while longer. Then, off to game on some Counter Strike. That brings a topic for another day, or later, which will do with a new computer.

I got some new music today. I cannot remember what band it is right now, but it will come to me later.

*- I started to drink bottled water, because one day I noticed stuff floating in my tap water. Yes, it is filtered.

NEW THEME!

Thought it is time for new looks.

I am changing blog roll too.

Then, some Counterstrike :)

I am not feeling it…

I really dont have much to blog on at this pont in time. Days are just rolling by. Noting eventful.

School has been bland. Nothing at all exciting.

I am thinking of a different music player than the iPod Touch. I am thinking… iPod Classic. Has more of what I want in an iPod. Time will tell. Ill most likely get the Classic.

Postage Droughtage

Yes, it has been. Whats new?

  • 3 “A’s” and 3 “B’s” in school.
  • I got the public beta of Joost. (more on that)
  • New cell phone
  • My Nintendo Wii is now shipped back to Nintendo for fixing.

School is going great :)

Joost will be talked about later.

I love my new cell phone. It is a Nokia 6133. Its a flippy phone. And, its just wonderful.

I got to wait for atleast 3-4 weeks till I get my Wii back from Nintendo. I had disc drive problems :( Youtube link to what was wrong – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hiz3oodePg.

Pretty quick post, but I am busy at the moment ;)

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
