This years WWDC was not all that great.  They spent a little too long on all the new apps that are coming out for the iPhone.  While this was happening you could watch the Apple stock drop.  They did recover when they introduced the new iPhone 3G, which sucks…. mainly because now I have to find money to buy one on July 11th.

I really had nothing to write about so I thought I would post a few links that I came across.  Sean pointed out this article about how working night shift is a cause for cancer, then again that is no surprise since everything leads to cancer these days.  I forwarded it off to my boss, he responded with “Hilarious this coming from a smoker”.   I have been using a mac for the past couple of years and with the release of Automator one might have taken note… but I didn’t until now.  I came across this script that seems pretty nice and it working just fine, I suggest installing it on your system if you use Mail.app.

Tonight is my last night of overnights, thank god it couldn’t have come soon enough. I was getting really burnt out from them. Its really weird going from morning shift to midnights, just turns your whole world upside down. Hopefully come Monday morning I will be back on track … but who knows. Anyone want to buy some old computer stuff? I want to get a new cell phone, namely the Blackberry Curve. I have been reading up on the phone and it really has some nice features. I was originally looking at the iPhone but after reading a lot of reviews and seeing that its lacking in a few places I decided that the Curve would be the best bet until Apple gets their shit together. So yeah I am trying to sell some stuff, and taking donations as well.

So my Powerbook which I have had since late 2003 is finally coming to the end of its life.  It has been a great laptop, and truly helped convert me to a full on mac user.  Now I just gotta start saving for a new Mac and hopefully be able to hold off until the new models come out pre installed with 10.5.  I just have to decide if I want to get a Macbook or rob a bank and get a Macbook Pro.

So I have now returned from my Michigan trip. It was pretty fun, besides the horrible weather. Louie’s wedding seemed to have gone well, besides myself getting chock slammed on the beach in the whee hours of the morning. Other than that there was good food, good drinks and some fun times… ohh an mosquitoes too yay to them. The drive back from up north was pretty crappy, just lots of rain and dead deers on the side of the road. I got to spend some QT with the kidlet, she was sad when I had to leave. I felt really bad… but I couldn’t miss my flight. Speaking of the flight, I found out why my Laptop has been running like crap as of late…. 512mb of RAM is bad … it registers when it feels like and when that happens it blue screens. Well I cant argue too much with some RAM that I have had in my laptop for 3yrs, and bought used at that. Anyways I am back in sunny California again. I will post some pictures later today of the fun filled days that were in Michigan.
