(Zune) Brown is the new Red

Friday, September 15th, 2006

Over at Gizmodo and all over the web, there’s a huge cuffle (sp?) about the new Microsoft Zune player… Oh no, not just the player.. THE BROWN ONE. Most people don’t like the look of the brown one. Personally, I think its great. After all, Brown is the new Red right? isn’t it?

Anyway, the Zune player is showing a lot of promise.. And I mean a lot… They don’t even have them in production (from what i’ve read), and they’re already teasing the public with photos, google video’s and blah blah blah.. a bunch of “leaked” material.. I hate how Microsoft works. APPLE FOREVER!!!!!!

JUST GIVE ME A DAMN iPhone and i’ll be happy DAMMNT!! (I REALLY HATE MY RAZR!!!!)

*** UPDATE ***

Just a quick update on this.. My sister told me about this last night, but I didn’t really believe it until I did a quick google search. Apparently the word “Zune” is French Canadian slang for male or female genitalia For More.

Friday, September 15th, 2006

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*

Apple “updates” Ipod, no iPhone :(

Tuesday, September 12th, 2006

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.

The UK Gift that keeps on giving

Sunday, September 10th, 2006

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.

Why a Rockstar might want an Iphone

Thursday, September 7th, 2006

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?
