Another cellphone...huh?

As everyone knows the Apple iPhone was released yesterday at participating stores near you. You can stand in line to pick from two choices of iPhones that offer 4gb or 8gb of storage space. I have only the information on the web and other media resources I use to have any understanding of what the iPhone is capable of doing. It is certainly a beautiful product that Apple always manages to pull off. If money was not an issue for a product I really have no need for, I would love to go out to the store and pick one up. It has such an interesting interface that you can't help to want to get your hands on one. Rate plans on At&t are actually quite reasonable compared to my Blackberry through Alltel. Perhaps this will help drive competition with other companies. Two reporters on the local station here in Punta Gorda, Florida where showing off there iPhones on the morning broadcast. If this isn't the perfect example of hype, what else could get this type of play. The biggest excitement this new phone from Apple brings to me is a chance to see a new upcoming iPod. The iPhone offers the perfect interface for a large storage wide screen iPod. I don't need a new phone, but I would love to have a new iPod. I will be in line for the release of a new iPod, which I hope to see before the holiday season.

Pirates 3....Come on Calypso.....

I recently went to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean. I have been a big fan of the Pirate movies since there inception, this is partly do to my family obsession with Disney World. I really enjoyed the movie but realize that it was much different than the previous releases. Many people have ridiculed the plot line not offering more excitement. I am always entertained by a movie so I don't like to critique story's too much. The definite problem I had with the movie was with the character Calypso. Throughout the movie they depicted the story of Calypso and Davey Jones. I think they portrayed a larger than life creature from the ocean in Calypso's pre-human form. So as the movie ended and Calypso was released form her curse by the pirate board, I anticipated the arrival of what bad ass creature to reek havoc on the arsenal of boats on the seas that day. Up arose from the deck of the boat a giant version of Calypso's body, followed by a transformation into a hundred million crabs that descended there way off the boat into the depths below. What came of this transformation to battle all the pirates that did her wrong for so many years under the curse......a giant...whirlpool...... This is the only disappointing part of the movie for me, but was very anti climatic. Don't miss the chance to see it in the theaters, the visual experience is always better on the big screen! Till next time, yo ho yo ho, a pirates life for me.

I have been consumed with Web 2.0 ....

I apologise with the lack of new posts, but I have been consumed with all these new Web 2.0 products that I have been learning about in my podcasts. The theme of the web is communication and these new ventures are exploiting this communication to the fullest! I have been dabbling with Jaiku. What a weird name, right? Well this is the example of Web 2.0 in the form of micro blogging. It allows you to be connected to friends and family with snip its of your day in the form of 200 characters or less. Its like instant messaging for the web.

I look forward to continuing with my frequent posts to the blahblahcrusade. I have some recent events that have provided me with some story ideas. Check back frequently as I will be updating soon! Until then, enjoy!
