Diary of a RockStarRock and Roll & Web Design

I’m such a designer… I ALREADY want to redesign this blog. isn’t that sad? I’ve just got to decide if I have enough time to do it between the band stuff and The Blog Studio.

Anyway, CSS Reboot – Fall 2006 is coming soon… *thinks quietly*

I was sitting at my computer watching the feed from the Apple presentation today waiting… just waiting for any glimmer of hope that I may have my hands on a shiny new iPhone… Instead, what did we get:

• 80gig Ipod Video (NOTE. not a touch screen, argg)
• 2gen Shuffle (woopiee)
• Colored nano’s (these seem just cheap to me)
• Itunes 7 (Thanks for nothing apple, this new app boggs down my top of the line Macbook Pro)
• A sneak peek of the iTV set top box (i dont even really like tv)

So you can probably guess that i’m a little bit less than enthused for this round of updates. Oh well, not like I HAVE any money to buy anything.

Just found out that on top of all of the monies we put into the UK tour, Moe’s credit card got charged 2 times for a congestion fee of driving around in downtown London England… So we all owe another 100 bux.

*update*
yeah, if you didn’t already notice, i added a paypal donate section to Diaryofarockstar.com. i’m pretty broke, and it doesn’t look good any time soon.

Iphone to me, is the single most brilliant idea since, well.. the Ipod. I’ve been dealing with this dilemma for a while now. It all started when i bought myself a Moto Razr V3 phone last year (this was before they were cool). I paid full price for it, and for about 2 weeks, I was the coolest dude on the block, sporting my new extra thin, extra cool Razr. (catch the bitterness?)

It soon became apparent that this phone was great, however, it was not so great, when summer came around, and I started spending more time outside, and usually had my Ipod on me as well. I’m sure that if you have a cell and an Ipod, you know that these two items take up valuable pocket space. Two pockets (I’d hate to see either of my prized electronic devices scratched).

Since early 2006, i’ve been looking for a solution, and i’ve decided that the only way to streamline my “baggage” is to get myself a phone with mp3 capabilities. Since then, i’ve been looking for a reasonably priced phone with all the features I want. Email/Mp3/Camera/Bluetooth.

The future looks bright for the supposed “iPhone”. I truly believe that its the next evolutionary step for the apple iPod/mobile device.

What do you think?

Back to paying $60/mt for phone access..
yes, I’m a rock star.. rock stars get lots of cell phone calls, and I’m also a geek, so that means that I send probably about 2000 text messages each month..

Before I left for the UK, i switched my cellphone plan to the most basic one possible, since I wouldn’t be using it, and since I’m on a contract, i cant cancel it.

Heres the setup i’ve got going now:
Urban package
Voice mail w/caller ID
unlimited text messages

Yeahhh, I’m livin’ the good life. (no)
