Yes, it may be faster and capable of more features,
but I am quite disappointed with the new iPhone 3GS.

Don’t get me wrong, I want it too.
But there is no way I am paying that much for a phone ever again.
I have learned my lesson there by acquiring the 3G.
(Unless my friend KaJo would hook me up into getting a better price.)

Anyway,
All I ever want is background apps.
I want my apps to run in the background, while I do other stuff on it.
3.0 is a good upgrade, and it promises Push Notifications, which is great!

I’ll worry about battery drain, Apple.
Just give me the ability to run multiple apps.

I have already forgiven you with the MMS support,
since I realized there is really no need to send a picture to my friends
of what crazy stuff I am getting in trouble from, at 3 in the morning.
There really is no urgency in that.
Unless they need proof that I really am in jail,
when I ask them to bail me out.

No matter.
A phone is a phone.
It can only give me whatever the carrier can support.
Even if I have the most complicated, most advanced phone,
it can only give me so much speed and stability
as the carrier can provide me.

So what I am saying is,
The real major failure here is AT&T.

29 other carriers, worldwide can support the features of the new
iPhone and the 3.0 OS, but not AT&T.

Why would they care?
No other carrier in the US has the freakin’ phone.
They need some competition with this crap.

I hope Apple sees this as a blackeye for them too.
I don’t understand why AT&T is not ready for this.
This thing did not happen overnight.

Or maybe.
Apple did not tell AT&T that they are doing this.
It gives them some credible reason to opt out from AT&T’s iPhone exclusivity

Ahh!
Very well played, Apple.
Very well played.

(Kaj, hook me up!)

AAhh!! The MTV Movie awards!
Another indication that I am old!
Another proof of how I cannot stand
this new generation of stars and celebrities.

I do not understand what these guys are trying to prove.
They already have the talent, (Well, some of them do.)
so why in the hell would they try to impress you more with such nonsense.
The shock value they are trying to convey
does not “shock” anymore.

I told you before.

If the NHL or the NBA finals are in full swing,
I am practically useless.

That is mainly the reason why there are no updates on this site.

In fact, I am writing this so fast,
I am not even gonna bthr wth the spellingf corrctns.

And no! I am not going to reveal who I am rooting for
since every time I do, they lose.

It’s true.
That is according to “The Prophecy!”

Put down your burgers and beer for a second
and remember the fallen.

Their courage is the reason you are there,
enjoying your burgers and beer.

Thank you.

Isn’t it weird when you have something on your mind,
or something that you wanted to do,
every single thing around you seems to give you a constant reminder of whatever it is.
Life seems to either give you encouragement or mock you in the face.

You know what I am talking about?

Par example, mes amis.

Happy Earth Day!

In observance of Earth Day,
I wanted to do something to help the environment.

I thought of millions of people driving to work
contributing to all the toxic fumes and smoke
on to our fragile air.

I would have taken the bus if I was still in Ottawa,
but not where I live.
Where a vehicle is a necessity.

So,
to do my part,
I drove to work really, really fast.
I mean, really fast.

Hey!
That minimized my time on the road!

Oh and for good measure.
I turned off the air climate controls.

But not my sounds.
Oh no!
Air pollution first.

Noise pollution?
Some other time.

I am not an environmentalist.
Just doing my part.

It is very strange not being able to call you.

Happy Birthday, Dad.

Love,
Den

Yup.

New template design.

I’m still testing it out.
You might see more changes from time to time.

And that’s a big emphasis on “Might.”

Let me know what you think.

Yesterday,
after I helped a co-worker with her computer problem,
instead of saying “Thank you.”

She said,
“Blessings upon you, Ty.”

I didn’t know what to say.
Or do.

No one has said that to me before
as a form of thanks.

But you know what?

It made my day.

At 8:30 pm tonight,
Earth Hour will commence on my side of the world.
The campaign is about for all to turn off their lights
and consume less energy.
Just for an hour.

Now I am not going to play the “Holier-than-thou” game.
I am not going to pretend that I follow all the recycling
and energy conserving methods that my fellow scientists
and government officials have implemented.

But with my professional opinion,
I really think this Earth Hour has lots of potential.
And someday it could be more than an Hour.
Probably more like a day.

But I am not writing this as a professional.
I am here,
just as a regular guy,
asking you to give this Earth Hour a try.

Trust me. It’s not that bad.
I have lived in the Philippines.
We are used to not having electricity for hours.
That’s how I learned to play guitar.

Oh, and one more thing.

Please do not print everything you see on your computer screen.
Do you have to have a hard copy of all your emails?
Jeebus, man. Stop Printing every picture too!
Or every forwarded spam mail your friend sent you.

Stop it!
The trees are crying!
You are killing my planet!
