While researching capacitive touch styluses for ipads, I came across this video reviewer with a sweet accent.
and for those looking into styluses, the final ruling on the styluses were:
mi-stylus: BOO
pogo: all around good
dagi: good, excellent for writing notes
It’s happened. I’ve been gifted a Mac product.
I’m not denying this is a pretty piece of hardware. It’s sleek and has been designed to handle images and music in the most awesome way possible. Its top-of-the-line inner things maximize the battery life. The part I loathe is that all the cool stuff costs money and there are no USB or firewire ports. The only way into that thing other than the magical one little dock/port/soul suck thing under the home button is… i can’t find a way, nor a way to easily go “back,” and the wireless picker-upper isn’t as powerful as my laptop’s.
With this all in mind, I’m going to do my damnedest to make use of this giant iPhone that can’t make calls. Somehow this iTouch without a camera will become part of the business side of Haddadadad. My aunt meant well when giving me this really really nice and trendy computer screen, and I should use it. There’s bound to be good uses photography-wise.
I’m all for paying for quality programs that help me actually do something useful, like a Photoshop dealy or a music editor with tons of options. Paying for instant messengers, RSS readers, most games, and photo trinkets are not on my list. The only free multi-platform messengers are made for iPhones for now.
Palringo shows up tiny on the screen. It’s kind of adorable and sad and annoying at the same time. The important thing for now is the application works! Woohoo! Communication.
I still can’t find my battery charger.
I think it’s kind of foxy.
In other news, I’m trying out a new online “job” of sorts, on Gamecrush. Someone decided that dudes will pay to play video games with girls. There are the dumber, casual games on the website itself are more for people seeking out cam-whores who will play e-checkers and show off their boobies. The (in my opinion) better games are on xbox 360 for now, and you can play Gears of War 2, GTA IV, COD: Modern Warfare 2, and Halo 3. Those games do not require a webcam, you just have to be able to talk on a headset. I like Gears of War 2, and I have the ability to speak to anyone with a pulse, so I signed up at the suggestion of the beef. The ladies are called Playdates, and the dudes are Players. The playdates have a profile that say whether they’re online or not and if they are feeling “flirty” or “dirty” or (gasp!) both. Read as: flirty “LET’S PLAY GAMES WEEE” and dirty “I will take my clothes off on a camera for your enjoyment.” So selecting both means you actually like playing the games and taking off your clothes. I will be sticking to flirty.
The site is in beta mode right now. I’m not sure how many dudes are actually on it. The site is shrouded in ~mystery~ to the people on it. Browsing through the forums gave me more of an idea of the competition, but there wasn’t much happening. My profile is up, and I have some times set up so guys know when to reach me. I’m thinking I may need a picture with my glasses on for the dork effect. Ehh. Is it whoring? A little, but I’m more interested in swapping stories while shooting at giant white monsters crying GROOOUND WAAALKERS GRAAAUUUH and helping a dude have more confidence in himself when talking to the ladies. Just, you know, he’ll pay me for it.
I kind of need a real job.
HEY THAT WAS MY REACTION, TOO!
here’s the actual commercial that has probably been out forevs and I haven’t seen it until now:
and an “interview” with the kids:
Besides the fact that I can listen to mike Rowe talk about anything until the end of time, here he starts off explaining his time castrating lambs to later get to the point: working for work’s sake. I believe he has a point. Take it away, Mike!
Mike Rowe on lamb castration you might find yourself
