I’ve seriously got to get off my ass and finish a few things around on the blog. I’ve got tonight, a full day tomorrow, and Friday morning to work on it, so maybe I can get creative.

I’ve got to finish the new layout. This one is shit. With all due respect to the designer (it is actually a great design), the layout - and how I’ve killed it - just isn’t working for me anymore. I’ve got one in the works, but lazy ass hasn’t wanted to code since finishing up CPSC 312 this a month ago. I’ve gotta shake that bug.

I was also thinking about coding up a widget that takes that entire sidebar and makes it interactive, so that clicking one of the services pulls from any available APIs and gives a preview of the contents. But maybe not. I probably should focus on the layout.

Oh, and I need to write up my First Looks/Quasi-reviews for some new toys I’ve gotten like my Kindle, Wii Fit, etc.

• I’m not so sure I like the fact that Apple has resorted to playing ball with AT&T with regards to the pricing/contract/activation structure. #
• So evidently someone got loose in our local Walmart with an automatic rifle. In a town this small, thats definitely going to cause problems #
• @4fthawaiian haha, yeah, it is TN after all, right? But yeah, I’m still trying to find out if anyone got hurt. I’ll keep posting updates. #
• @4fthawaiian lol no need for apologies. Even with a walkie-talkie, I’m having a hard time getting any info. #
• Hrm, here’s an update. Apparently the suspect is being held up inside by swat. No victims here yet, but he was in a shooting yesterday. #
• Up. Need to get coding on something before work. I guess. #
• Playing with the dev seed of Safari 4. Kinda like it. Does seem snappier. #
• @andrewhyde Haha thanks for that link, that’s got some win to it. #
• @Stammy So, um, yeah. Officially jealous. #

• Facebook, just because I dont send texts doesnt mean I dont want SMS notifications of others. Stupid asses. #
• I wonder how much other cost cutting (like the now plastic back) has taken place to get the new iPhones price so low. #
• I like the new iPhone commercial. Its a straight up smack in the face to Sprint/Samsung’s Instinct promos. Awesome. #
• Native Exchange support in Snow Leopard is pretty huge, I think. #
• @Veronica Im wondering the same thing. Are they gonna start forcing activation in Apple stores to or something to keep that price? #
• Congrats to @garyvee and @revision3 on the deal. Curious to know the why and how though. Awesome news though. #

• Up. Getting ready for work and such. Blah. #
• Grr. Been doing some digging, and it looks like AT&T 3G access is going to stop right before it gets to my town. Bastards. #

• Is it weird that I have a slight worried/anxious feeling because Amazon is straight-up dead? #

• GTA IV has become infinitely more fun since I unlocked Algonquin. (Yeah, I know, I slow - Shut it.) #
• Reading newspapers on the Kindle, checking tweets/mails, and getting ready to head into Chattanooga for a while. #
• Thank you Diggnation-from-a-week-or-so-ago. That damn “Bananaphone” song pops into my head at random intervals now. #
• There is a permanent bronze statue of an old man watching a dog take a shit outside of this big financial building in Chatt. #
• @majornelson PSN doesnt usually update content in the US as early in the day as XBL does. #
• Just spent an hour restringing and properly setting up the Floyd Rose on my Jackson guitar. Woot. (BTW: 800th tweet,yay) #

• This is kinda sad. He’s probably wishing someone would show up at *his* door step with a giant check. http://twurl.nl/0kf4wd #
• Hah, I wasn’t paying attention and evidently downloaded the Afrikaans Firefox 3rc2. Imagine my surprise when I launched it. #
• Blah. Work is gonna suck ass this next week. 4 open to close shifts in a row. #

• @scobleizer If you check your @ replies regularly, you don’t even need to follow. For me, they answer way too much to actually follow. #

• For some reason, IMAP is broken on my mail accounts on some of my domains. Hey Google: help? #
• @Veronica Whoever is responsible for bringing that site down has done us all a great service and probably deserves a medal. #
• Ive gotta work on creating a larger version of my logo. Biggest ive got is 400sq.px 75dpi version. Not good for print, methinks. #
• @brittanygreene Is your ravsonic.com mail working on your iPod? I cant tell if its just my IMAP screwing up or all of it. #

• Neat writeup about twitter and @MarsPhoenix in the New York Times today. #
• Drinking a Loom Bewitt Springs 2006 Shiraz. #
