Should I buy an iPhone 4?
As with most iPhone 3GS owners, I am eligible to upgrade. But should I? With IOS 4 running on my iPhone 3GS, I am quite happy. And I love my Tom Tom GPS dock, which isn’t compatible with the iPhone 4. And tonight I read a strong rumor that Verizon Wireless will be launching the […]
First iPhone App Written!
It’s nothing fancy, just the “Hello World!” app that Apple so kindly put in their developer documentation. I even went above and beyond with a custom icon and some fancier text in the app. Now my only problem is that it’s taking forever (over an hour now) to get a Development Provisioning Profile from Apple. […]
I should be programming
An old friend of mine, Ron, responded to one of my Facebook updates by saying “Are you writing some iPhone apps during this time?”. That’s a damn good question. I’ve been doing a lot of reading on Program/Project Management in hopes of landing a PM job with Microsoft, but so far that hasn’t panned out. […]
Mini-Review: Plantronics Voyager 855 Stereo Bluetooth
After much coveting of this unique bluetooth stereo headset, Amazon’s recent price drop has allowed me to purchase it. And I am way impressed. This is a unique headset. It starts as a standard bluetooth earpiece. And for phone calls it does a great job. It has adaptive noise reduction and multipoint technology to connect […]
Apple updates their desktop line and WiFi routers

The biggest updates for the desktop line are faster graphics cards, faster CPU’s and lower power consumption. What interests me […]
iPhone Games: The Good, Bad and the Ugly

iPhone 3G stays in landscape when starting my car
I can’t be the only one having this problem. Here’s the scenario. I listen to my iPhone 3G in my car via a dock that is attached to a cigarette lighter adapter. If I leave it in the car, as soon as I re-start the car, it goes into landscape mode and won’t come out […]

NBC/Universal – I want my TV Shows back in iTunes
I’m going to keep this rant short. After watching Steve Jobs announce that every major movie studio is on board with movie rentals, I have one question. Why didn’t I hear anything about NBC/Universal bringing TV Shows back to iTunes? I was hoping that would be Steve’s “One More Thing”, but that phrase never left […]

I’ll keep you posted on the big news daily. What am I looking forward to seeing announced/released this week? Here’s my list: Tasks/ToDo List […]
