As we all know, Empirial Walkers are only deployed in harsh climates, not the plains of Europe. Highly inaccurate.

Prepare your tow cables!

After much trial and error I think I have found all the essential iPhone hardware accessories to fully optimize your iPhone experience. Hope you find the information helpful.

With all the talk about the new application store and the SDK tools from Apple I am very excited to hear what new software will be avaible.  I do not have the programming skills required to do my own, but I do think I have some pretty good ideas. Therefore, I decided to put one of my ideas out there and hope someone can turn it into reality. I won’t take the credit but at least I will get to use the new functionality.

Here is my idea: The iPhone is great to synchronize appointments and give you reminders.  Why couldn’t there be a field built into the appoinments that would allow you to “Silence Ringer For Duration of Appointment.” 

If you are like me, I often forget to silence my ringer during a meeting, movie, or other quiet meeting.  Our company has gone so far as to charge $20 if a phone goes off during a meeting.  This is my open call to all you programmers out there to save us all some money and embarrassment!  Thanks in advance!

Everybody uses cards these days to pay for their lunch, gas, and whatnot. Well, I am part of a dying breed that still prefers to pay the old-fashioned way; cold, hard cash. Yes, I do utilize modern monetary means, however, I found that I actually save money when I only have an allowance of cash for the week. I think it’s part of the “casino theory”; if you pay with cash, then you get to see the cash leaving. So I pay with cash. Now I get to carry around a fat wallet and a pocket full of loose change. Hooray…

I really do not like stuff in my pockets. I only carry what very few keys I need. I have the slimmest wallet possible (being broke helps), and I keep my coins in one of my desk organizer’s trays. Not having to carry around coins was nice, but there is problem. If you pay cash for everything, the coins multiply. I needed a way to pay with coins, but carry as little as possible. I think I found the perfect combo if you are only going to be making one purchase (such as lunch or a candy bar.)

Trembling with anticipation? The combo is as follows:

Gotta song stuck in your head? Need to hear it NOW but you aren’t on your home computer and your mp3 player was forgotten at home? Go to Sonza and get that noise out of your head.

Great place to go to find a specific song now. Perhaps the coolest feature is that you can link to a specific song, so if I wanted to send a song to someone, I can link to it directly rather than hunt it down on YouTube, etc. I haven’t been able to use it in Opera very well, and I think its still in Beta, as it locks up in Firefox and IE7 every so often, but hey, you want to listen to a lot more music, then go to Pandora.

Questions, comments, insults? Let the Poisen Spill From Your Throat.

 

I was shopping on the Branson Landing around lunch time and I snapped the above picture with my trusty iPhone (new version comes out on Monday!!!)  I think the owner of Chicago Dogs should rework their business plan and actually be open for lunch; this is more like an Urgent Care Clinic having a sign, “Closed due to illness.” Keep your eyes open…

I don’t know anyone who disagrees with me. From Han Solo and Indiana Jones to Jack Ryan and Rick Deckard, he’s covered a lot of memorable roles.

The Lego series of games seem to follow him around. Now being released is Lego Indiana Jones. I found this commercial amusing:
