Much atalk about nothing

Welcome to the Appleheads!

Well i've been putting off buying a new phone for about 5 yrs now and have been out-of-plan for almost as long. I needed to join the modern age and try out this thing called Texting too. So i bought an iPhone. I got the 16 gig 3G. I gotta' say, i'm pretty impressed. The phone is basically an even more portable labtop. There's so many applications that I find myself becoming everything i use to laugh at and make jokes about. All in the name of technology. There are an incredible number of useful apps. And a good number of free ones also. This not just an announcement of sorts but a rally for information. Can anyone who's got one or knows enough about them suggest some apps that they use and have found useful or fun in the very least.
I've already added:

Pandora, Shazam, Fring, TheWeatherChannel, Google Earth, GPSlite, & Urbanspoon. I'm also going to get VNClite, All Countries & iTranlate.

Let me know what you recommend!

This is Sega's attempt at a Virtual On meets Halo game. I really hope it get ported over here after it get consolised. It's running on a new Arcade Hardware setup from Sega called RingEdge.
Below is the promo and an in-game demo:

Bad things happen in 3's...

First it was Walkers, then Rogers, & finally now my 360 bought it. I turned it on last night to watch some streaming netflix and i here this noise like a jet engine winding up and it just keeps getting louder and louder until i see the left half of the circle turn red. 2, not 3, of the rings went red. So it looks like I'm pretty much screwed. I suppose I'll take the same route as Walker and just pick up a new arcade since they come w/ HDMI now.

More shitty american products? My Wii hasn't had any issues & my PS3, although fairly new hasn't had a problem ...yet. So why is it the 360 just can't stay afloat? Poorly designed? Marketing strategy to sell more systems? It's probably it little of both. Maybe one stems from the other.

Deals of the week!

Mon, 12 Jan 2009 00:54:27 GMT

Bestbuy has some 360 games as cheap as $9.99. I picked up both Ninja Gaiden 2 and Turok. I also was able to get the Ace Combat 6 flight stick pack for $99, about $30 below normal retail. They have some other great deals in there weekly ad.

It's a me Mario!!

You gotta love this! It would've only been made better if he could of got someone else to cart w/ him in character. I especially love the 'running from the police part' at the end. That was made of Win and God.

Denver officially had the largest Race for the Cure in the country. We took the reins back from St. Louis. For those that don't know, Denver and St. Louis are always competing w/ each other for the largest amount of Race Registrations. Those registrations include 'Sleep in for the Cure' and 'Workout for the Cure'. As of 2pm today Denver had 64,084 and St. Louis (whose race ended about a month ago) had 63,998.

I know this doesn't mean much but it's a big achievement for people like myself that volunteer every year. It's good to see so many people supporting it and so many companies getting involved w/ it.

Thanks to all who helped and help support Susan G. Komen, Breast Cancer Research and/or Volunteer for charities in your communities. Here's to 9 more years of volunteering and sharing a little piece of such a great feeling w/ 60k+ people again.

Well....no more inventories :D

...of course that's probably the biggest plus out of this whole situation.

I was let go today from my wonderful job at Whole Foods. I had been struggling w/ the new regime since they came in and took over Wild Oats. I wasn't the 1st one and probably won't be the last.

I have to say that it was somewhat of a relief. It didn't bother me like i had imagined it would. I had struggled w/ multiple problems w/in the dept and facilitating structure and never really received the guidance i felt i needed to do the job proficiently. This is just my pov and should be taken w/ a grain of salt. I'm sure if you asked my boss he would of said something quite different...but in a very nice way.

For some reason i new this was coming and somewhat expected it. I've been at odds w/ what i was doing and trying to do and had been contemplating a occupational change anyhow so i think this was a good omen. I know most people don't feel good about it and i personally have never been fired from any job i've done but everything happens for a reason and i really believe there was a good one this time.

I don't post this in some vein hope of sympathy from my friends. I'm actually throwing this out there for anyone that might know of someplace that's hiring. Whether it be w/in your own company or one you think might fit/suit me, lmk. I'm fairly outgoing, enjoy people/am a people person and would even do call center work at this point. I'm not desperate but I'd like to find something that i enjoy and am not stressed out about when i get home at the end of the day. I could really go for some sort of 9-5 deal somewhere. I've come to realize i really like having the weekends off and i don't think I've ever worked a job that offered that before.
So if i sound like someone you might think fits somewhere, somehow shoot me a call or email or whatever you think might get my attention(<-- sounds like a bad personal ad, lol).

This is one of the weirder but yet more logical mutations i've seen on a cat.

You have to wonder what the 7 eared cat looked like.

Well...it was bound to happen. It's happened to all my friends already.

My 360 finally RROD'd. I had a funny feeling it would eventually. I just hoped it would be w/in the 3 yr grace period. I've only had it since January 07 so i got a good year-and-half out of it. I made the call and got a box sent out for shipping and they didn't seem to have any problem w/ me on the help line so that's one hurdle jumped. I'm hoping everything else goes as smooth. Who knows, this may turn out to be a positive thing. I might get a system back w/ an HDMI port on the back. I just hope they've got the whole HD talking to core system thing solved so i don't get the next system back and find i'm unable to access any of my old games/saves/etc...

Any pointers or suggests are much welcomed at this point since i'm new to the so-called 'Club'.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!

ROCKBAND RULEZ!!!!!!101001010!!!!!!!!

Thu, 22 Nov 2007 05:51:05 GMT

2 of my friends came by tonight and helped me install my new LCD T.V. onto the arm on the back of my console. I was worried it might be too high but it seems to fit in perfectly. After that we made the attempt to assemble Rockband. It was actually fairly easy and well designed. Each instrument also has a headphone jack to plug in your earpiece for live talk online. I literally can't say enough about this game. It's like Guitar Hero on steroids, w/ a band and on the 360. I really like the functionality of all the instruments together. We could've easily played all night given the choice but we were tired and hungry. We ended up at a Denny's at 9:30 do to everything closing down for Turkey Day. I'll be draggin' everything out and up to Gimme on Sat for anyone who wants to try it. And if anyone has it or has a 360 guitar for it, please bring it. We need a Bass player.

I need some Help....

You Are A Vampire

You have a real thirst for bliss, and you consider yourself a true hedonist.
And you're not afraid to walk alone in life, if it means getting what you truly crave.
You truly enjoy entrancing people. Not to mention the ensuing pleasures of the flesh.
Your tastes have been called decadent and bizarre. You usually give in to your temptations, no matter how primal

Your greatest power: Your flawless ability to seduce and charm

Your greatest weakness: Human flesh

You play well with: Werewolves

Battery go boom...

Fri, 12 Oct 2007 18:14:24 GMT

..well not some much a boom as a 'won't turn on and stay on more than 3 seconds'. The cellphone battery finally gave up the ghost. So anyone trying to contact me is pretty much SOL. Just post on here if you need me and i'll check here off & on. I won a battery on ebay this' morn (2.99 + 4.99 s/h) so i expect it by Monday or Tuesday. I can't complain. I think i got 2 yrs. outta this one and almost just as long outta the 1st battery. Back to simpler times...at least for the weekend.

I'm a bonehead!

Your Score: Worf

You are 46% lazy

Worf is the first Klingon main character to appear in Star Trek, and has appeared in more Star Trek episodes than any other character...he's also a real hard-man...so don't spill his pint !!!

Despite having a head like an over-cooked cornish pasty, Worf is pretty cool.

He has great skill with the bat'leth, having won at least one tournament (in the TNG episode "Parallels").

His skill also helped to shape the leadership of the Klingon empire on two separate occasions. While serving on the Enterprise-D (in the TNG episode "Reunion"), Worf kills Duras in a duel to avenge the death of his mate K'Ehleyr.

Hello Halo 3....

Thu, 27 Sep 2007 23:34:39 GMT

Well i asked Hatemonger if i could come by his place and try out Halo 3. I wasn't actually going for the fun of playing really, but in actuality to play long enough to register for Microsofts contest. The contest requires you to log in w/ your XBL user name at this site:

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/h/halo3/promotions/pontiacpartner/default.htm

and you could either win a car w/ Halo 3 painted on it(A custom Pontiac G6 GXP Street Edition) or a A Samsung® home theatre entertainment system comprised of: one Samsung 61" 1080p Slim-Depth LED Engine DLP HDTV, one Samsung 5.1 channel 850 watt HTIB, and one Samsung Upconvert DVD Player 1080P.

So i made teh trek down and delved in. John actually was at the very end of the game when i arrived and so i watched that too. Even though you could of Youtubed that on Sunday thanx to some hacker that got a little to excited. I ended up staying about 3 hours. I played a few different modes and got pwned in the beginning but started pwning a little myself a hour or so in. I'm not a console FPS'er (Gears of War being the exception) normally. I'd prefer a mouse and keyboard. But i must say the presentation was smooth and the controls, although hard at 1st, were manageable after i put my mind to it.

Now i won't go out and buy this game but i will give it its due. It was fun to some extent and i can see playing w/ friends i know but again not enough to buy it. So thanx to Hatemonger i'm entered in a cool contest and my mind is a little more open to possibilities of console FPS'ing.

FInally a Sequel!

Fri, 21 Sep 2007 19:38:53 GMT

Oh how i've longed for a sequel to Bangaioh. It was one of my most favorite games on the Dreamcast and one of the most deserving of a sequel. I never would of expected it on a portable but after seeing Metal Slug 7 going that direction anything is possible. Gameplay video link to follow:

http://media.ds.ign.com/media/963/963532/vids_1.html

The most interesting option of the sequel looks to be the 2-player option. Can't wait to see how that works/factors in.

Shocking!

Your Superpower Should Be Manipulating Electricity

You're highly reactive, energetic, and super charged.
If the occasion calls for it, you can go from 0 to 60 in a split second.
But you don't harness your energy unless you truly need to.
And because of this, people are often surprised by what you are capable of.

Why you would be a good superhero: You have the stamina to fight enemies for days

Your biggest problem as a superhero: As with your normal life, people would continue to underestimate you

What Should Your Superpower Be?

Finally something new worth buying on the Wii. I hope this isn't just import only. I'm on the verge of buying an import Wii as it is...but i hold out hope for some way to crack teh import code.
