I know this video isn’t all that happy and what not, but I was true to my feelings on the day I recorded this video. It was the day after Christmas and I felt like being at the beach to just think. While I was there I figured I’d capture some stuff and say hi.
So…Hi!

There is something strange happening at Nokia. Now, I know that they also have a new mobile device coming out called the Maemo and is due out in November, but this is turning out to be quite a launch. They’ve posted some site called the maemoproject with a paranormal activity-esque video on 10-minute loop. It’s incredibly creepy. Go see for yourself and also Google Maemo
One last thing, keep the window open because something strange happens around the 9th minute. I can’t really decipher what is being said in the video, but there is a strange repetitive buzzing and something that sounds like a man saying, “wake up”.
If you find anything new surrounding this strange project, please comment back on this post. Meanwhile, I’ll be gathering what info I can too.
Stay synced! *got chill bumps*
I was invited to go but can’t. That’s the long and short of this video. Wish I could go, but I am glorying in the fact that I have a small victory of being recognized and at least invited to attend. I think it says a lot.
I made him over at Little Big Planet. Those of you that read my blog may know that I am like obsessed with Domos to no end, so when I saw him I had to have it–and by have it I mean a physical sackboy. Maybe later.
I could have dressed him up with the option that had, but they were simply wretched so I opted for the plain look. Whaddya thinK? For now my little virtual macboy here will suffice. Click him and say hi!
Update: Yesterday, I apparently really upset a die hard techhead that obviously is a big fan of the Palm Pre. I apparently angered him with my remark that the Palm Pre is an iClone. So I revised this post, not because he got angry, but to clarify and stand by my personal opinion, based on what I want out of a touchscreen, smartphone. I still think it’s the very best iClone, that’s close to standing on equal footing with the iPhone. It’s in the #2 spot in my book. I imagine I can’t just say this without stating my reasons so..
Detailed reasons why I would stick with my iPhone (not that I wouldn’t):
On that last bullet point:
(That’s not to say that it doesn’t do some things better than an iPhone. For one it’s mucho, mucho better at multitasking than an iPhone by leaps and bounds in my honest opinion, and it’s cloud computing abilities (like what Mobile Me does for you Contact and Calendaring) allows you to sync with your already existing web services like Google contacts and calender, Facebook and what not. Read more about this at popsci.com and here. Form your own opinion.)
But in general, I’ve never seen someone get so passionately upset about tech. I thought talking about this stuff was supposed to be fun. Just sayin’.
And scene. lol
I very briefly spoke with Ramsey Mohsen on Facebook, asking for his opinion on the Palm Pre after he visited his local Sprint.
I have been watching, listening and waiting to see what some of the results would be after the Palm Pre launched. So, as a die hard Apple iPhone user (not really), I am giving my personal opinion at long last. In all honesty, I am kind of disappointed with the Palm Pre because I thought it was actually going to bring some ground-breaking feature(s) that would have it stand as a competitor that exceeds the iPhone. Instead, it’s just the very best iClone out there–just giving credit where credit is due. Don’t get me wrong, it does have one particular feature that comes to my mind right now, that I wish the iPhone could do. It allows multiple apps to run in the background. However, with the push notification added in the 3.0 software update, I’m happy with my iPhone.
The Palm Pre is an iClone and yet veeeeery different in it’s own right. But for now I think that was implied in Apple’s first iPhone 3G ad back in 2008–the one device that’s better than an iPhone, is a better iPhone–is true. …so far. The Palm Pre may eventually come out one top. And when and if it does, it’ll be a cool thing to have happened.
When I originally created this silly little video, the idea was I recorded a video log of my trial run with an iPhone application I’d been developing. I don’t want to spoil it for folks that haven’t seen it by saying much more, however. But at any rate, I was publicly releasing one of my top-secret logs exclusively for readers of this blog.
Today, I am re-releasing it today less than 30 days prior to the day I released it a year ago. I chose it because so many folks loved it, particularly making it a select video for the front page of Viddler.com, one of my favorite video sharing sites. So, enjoy! …again. 
P.S. I am asked often, will I make more funny videos. Yes, with time. I know this past year was a total dud since the making of this video, but I’ve been plottin’ and plannin’ all summer so far. Be patient with me. Not now, but soon!
