I joined the iPhone world today
Jun/090
On June 29, 2007 I sat and watched as the world was introduced to the iPhone. In those two years the iPhone has revolutionized the smartphone market and brought it out of the WAP dark ages. Now, exactly two years from the day the first iPhone was released I am now a full fledged iPhone user. I went to my local Apple store and bought a black 32GB iPhone 3GS.
Its only been a couple of hours but I am already enjoying the experience, but not without issues. I plan to write some blog posts about my experiences of joining iPhone nation.
Here is a brief list of things I am planning on writing
Verizon vs AT&T – Real life experiences from both sides. I switched from Verizon to AT&T to get the iPhone.
Accessory roadblocks – Lets just say I was not happy to find my fm transmitter used on my iPod touch rendered useless.
Protecting my beautiful new iPhone 3GS – What my two fold solution to ensure my iPhone stays safe.
Apps, Apps, Apps – Thats right, the App store and the 1000’s of apps are the special sauce that makes the iPhone the best smartphone ever made.
Upgraded to Wordpress 2.8
Jun/090
Well, I waited a few days before I did it but I upgraded my wordpress blog to 2.8. It looks like I will have a little debugging to do as my dashboard is totally hosed up. The wordpress team added a few features I wanted to try out, the new theme and widget updates being one of them. With vacation coming up, hopefully I will find a little free time to geek out and fix it and add some more stuff. Oh, and maybe even post a bit more frequently. That would be nice.
Update: A quick search at the forums over at wordpress.org resulted in the suggestion to deactivate all plugins and ensure theme capatibility. Sure enough, after deactivating everything and reverting to original WP theme, my dashboard woes went away. Now time to figure out who the culprit was. Sucks too as I really liked the setup.
June 9th – Nice Storm on Ride Home
Jun/090
I was riding home from work with some friends when we come across a decent storm around Odessa, DE. As we proceeded through the storm, the rain increased, the lightening was frequent and severe, and we got pelted by pea sized hail. Being from Delaware and not really experienced with storm cells that could be spawn a tornado (this particular cell did trigger a tornado warning earlier in Chester Co., PA) we were anxious to see anything resembling a funnel cloud. Unfortunately, our impromptu storm chase ended quickly but I did manage to get a few pictures from my cell phone.
