As David Risley points out in this video that he made, where is this bad economy?
In the video below, he and his wife went to the mall and were looking for a parking place. They have a tough time. Seems like no one has slowed down in the spending of their money, so where is this bad economy?
I myself went to Memphis to return some gifts. I went on a Monday thinking it would be easy to get around and do what I had to do. I WAS WRONG !!!!
I could not beleive the amount of traffic on the roads. It was like the day before Christmas. The mall was FULL, the roads all around the mall area were FULL, traffic backed up, Interestate 240 and Interstate 40, FULL.
Now I want to say “doesn’t anyone work anymore!” but unemployment is way up so that nulls out that statment, I cant say that, but why is everyone in the road and in the malls without jobs?
Whats the secret? I want to know! I would love to not work and run the roads and shop all day too!!!
I am very excited about the new Terminator Salvation Trailer.
This movie is going to absolutly rock if you are a fan of the whole Terminator thing.
In other news….
I have been busy as usual with doing things for the Visions ShowChoir Christmas set.
Little Jack is about maxed out in size at about 11 lbs. He is so awesome in all the little things he does.
It’s really cute how he brings toys to me when I come to show me he wants me to play with him.
I recently had my good friend “Wild Bill” from Memphis come down and spend some time with me and some friends. That was a welcome visit. We had fun catching up.
My brother in law and his wife came over from Arizona for the Thanksgiving Holidays. We really enjoyed their stay and hope they come back soon. While they were down we went to the Tupelo Flea Market and did a little shopping. We also took in a really good meal at Vanellis Greek and Italian restuarant.
Well thats about it for now, I need to get to work on my Christmas List to Santa.
Ok so I have been meaning to write about my Tom Tom Go 730 for some time now and have not really made to time to do so, but since the holidays are upon us and I have this time off I decided to get it done.
Ok so to rehash. I sold all of my carputer stuff on eBay and took the money and used eBay once again to purchase the Tom Tom Go 730.
I managed to get it brand new on eBay for $150 less than in stores.
I actually use it to navigate with and hands free calling as well as an mp3 player. I have it playing some of my mp3 collection through the audio out cable into my car stereo. Continue reading →
To all the cellphones I’ve loved before you just can’t hold a candle to the iPhone…..sorry.
Yes I now have a shiny new iPhone and I love it.
I was against getting one when they first came out, because it lacked so many things I thought a cellphone should have.
Some of these things were:
No copy and paste
No video recording
No voice/memo recording
No Multimedia Message Sending
No Removeable battery
No 3G Connectivity
No GPS
No Voice Dialing
No MP3 as a ring tone
No Over The Air Downloads
No integration with MS Exchange
No Office support for Word and Excel docs
There are probably some things that I am forgetting but you get the idea.
At the time when it came out I had the Nokia 6682 and it did most of those things, so I just scoffed at the $700 price tag for a 4gig iPhone that dint do as much as my current phone did.
It is also worth saying that it’s always best to not buy anything in its first year production.
You should let the manufacturers work the kinks and bugs out of new products before you buy them.
After the second generation iPhone came out, some new things were added.
Better battery life
GPS (really good I might add)
3G Connectivity
Exchange Support
Office Support
Over the Air downloads (FW2.2)
There is still no Voice Dialing, Video Recording, or MMS but really these are features I find myself not using much at all anyways.
As my contract was coming to an end I was thinking about getting an iPhone but they were still high in price so I got the BlackJack II red. Continue reading →
