My bags are pretty much packed and I should be flying back to Montana at 8am tomorrow morning. It's been a great summer. A summer I will never forget. To all my New York folk, I will be back. You certainly didn't see the last of me!
Working for Random House, Inc. this summer was a unique experience that confirmed a few things for me. Now, I should be able to focus more on what I want the rest of my life to look like.
Thank You Random House.
Thank You New York.
To all the friends I've made during my time here, I hope to see you again.
Baby, I'm coming home..
Finally. There you have it. Thanks to the iPhone Dev Team for making Pwnage 2.0. It took a while all right. It took me 4 hours to get it unlocked to 1.1.4, but luckily it only took me 2 hours to get it to 2.0. Yes, yes, I know Pwnage makes this a simple process that shouldn't take too long but with all the errors I got I had to spend a lot of time reading about it in order to fix it. There, that's my justification.
So far, so good. I love the iPhone!

Sigh, I'm such a fiend for electronics. I'm pretty sure it runs in my family. In feeding my addiction for shiny electronics, I got my hands on a Archos 605 Wifi and an Apple iPhone 2G. I simply want to say that I love them both. I can't really go in depth right about it now because I have a lot of work to do but I just wanted to give all of you a sneak peek. I know, especially with the iPhone, that I'm really late to the game, but hey, better late than never right?
Drool, bitches, drool.
Oh, the mighty Archos. I've never heard of this PMP before but my co-workers opened my eyes to it. It's a much better media player than any of Apple's offerings and it is a very underrated iPod killer.
Yes, before you start, I am well aware that the iPhone 3G is out. To you, I say this. Go stand in line for a day and sign that contract dumbass! The new iPhone's improvements lay in it's new 2.0 software which I will have on mine soon enough. Think of it like an old car with a newer engine, runs just as good as the current market cars! Don't even give me stick about 3G. You probably don't even know what that is.
UPDATE: The Pwnage 2.0 tool is out! My iPhone 2G is now running 2.0!
Oh, man. The only thing in the webosphere is that damn iPhone 3G. Jailbreak this, App Store that. Argh. I ran by the Apple Store on 5th Ave and this is what I saw:

There was a club style bouncer and huge ass line. The iPhone 3G is no joke. It was like the Pope coming to town or some thing. Sigh, the battle to get an elusive iPhone is still raging in my head. My brother got his hands on a 16GB one in Canada and he's fallen in love with it. With that said, I got my hands on a Archos 605 Wifi to wet my appetite in the meantime. I will review this PMP soon, right here just for all of you. This little video parodying the iPhone 3G is hilarious!
Also, the deals have not been too jaw dropping which is the reason why there aren't that many deals on here. I know there are tonnes of deals but I'm very selective about the deals that go on this site. FYI. Adios.
This morning, I waved goodbye to the love of my life as her visit to New York came to an end. About a week ago, I proposed to her. Now, I'm happy to call her my fiancee.
I love you baby. We'll be together forever. I'll be home soon.
Hope all of you had a great 4th of July weekend. I know I did. It rained a little in Brooklyn which delayed the fireworks but it was a great show nonetheless. Thanks to the people who shared the weekend with me. You know who you are!
There we were, sitting on the shoreline of the East River looking at the Brooklyn Bridge and this is what we saw.
Sorry folks, another brag! I was looking for the cheapest way to Toronto one weekend to visit my brother and my folks. I couldn't really afford to fly so I guess the only alternative was to take the bus. Taking the bus wouldn't be that bad considering I was in New York City. How far can it really be, right?
Megabus was selling a round trip ticket for like $90 (which disappeared the second time around I looked it up). The other carrier I looked up a price at was Greyhound. Oh, man. This is what I saw.
You are reading it right. A regular ticket was $170 and an advance purchase ticket was for $2! Honestly, I thought it was a computer glitch. I slept on it for a few days and called some people and told them what I saw. Most of them told me to buy it but I had my concerns about being billed differently because come on! How can it be $2? With gas prices so high? Seriously?
After a lot of thought, I finally bought the ticket. Hooray, a confirmation email arrived looking all legit. Most importantly, it claimed that I only got charged $2 for this transaction. Thank you Montana for not having sales tax! When I arrived in New York, I was anxious to get my hands on the hard copy ticket because that will be settle all my doubts.
I finally got to the Port Authority Bus Terminal and stood in line. I picked up my ticket and flipped it open. Hell yes! I got a ticket to Toronto from New York City and back for $2! For $2, this 11 hour bus ride doesn't seem all that bad now, does it? Check it out!
Phew. I finally made it. The flight was good despite a one hour delay at Minneapolis because of "Air Traffic Control problems" at Laguardia. So far I've settled into my room and roamed around the immediate area. Tomorrow, the subways! Grrrrrr..
