Off the grid...

From a financial standpoint, I could not survive any longer paying for 3G service for my Mytouch from T-mobile.  It was a great phone, one that I even reviewed.   I was paying, through my parents, around $30 a month for unlimited data and texting.

Not just that, but I had put in a couple hundred bucks back in September to get an iPad that I sincerely hold close to my heart.  I was in constant Wifi access when I was either at home, in my dorm, or at class.  I didn't need to have 3G anymore.

So, I confronted my father to make the drive to the T-mobile store and pick up a 'dump' phone.  At the end of the day, I ended with the a very slick-looking Samsung Gravity 3 (see right).

This is my first phone to have a full keyboard, so I'm a little excited for this next chapter in my life.

Now, got to do some Particle Mechanics and Material Science homework for tomorrow.  There's that massive Nor'easter coming up the coast, and apparently, 7 to 12 inches of snow is supposed to fall in the Capital Region.  Can't wait to see my 8am canceled.

Drunken History Vol. 1

This was referred to me from my friend.

"Can you see my belly?"

New App store for the iMac

Today was the day for the launch of the app store for iMac.

It is currently only available for those with the current OS of Snow leopard.

The store is similar to just like the iPad's but somewhat better organized throughout through tabs, a better search bar, and if the review is helpful or not.

I'm excited to see how much this will change the flow of apps for this platform almost forgotten by most.

Back to School

Back to school with less than I have ever brought. Imagine that.

For the first time ever, I had to worry about my credit limit when I was buying my books. Those engineering textbooks are worth their weight in gold.

Moved into a frat house. Drinking has already commenced.
