ETA: 3 Days



Cult members of Apple will traveling to the Mecca of electronics this weekend to see the latest breakthrough that is completely necessary to add to our already digitized lives. The iPad, informally known as a Giant iTouch, hits stores this Saturday. Pre-sale orders will be filled, however the 3G model is not being released until next month. I'm anxious to see how then iPad will do. If you aren't getting an iPad or rather just can't afford it (ding ding ding-me) you can hold off until this summer when new iPhones are released. Most of the information out there on the infamous 4G iPhone are pure rumors, there have been leaks of features like video chatting, 5.2 mega pixel camera, ability for multi-tasking and made of titanium. Hope the rumors are true so I can blog and video chat with you guys simultaneously.

Never Gets Old

I have seen this video several times and it never gets old.

North Shore 5K


Deadline is another word for motivation. Whether it scares you that you will come in dead last or that you will completely fail altogether, deadlines are hard to ignore. I signed up for a 5K that takes place on June 13th. Since a 5K is really only 3.1miles I'm not too worried about being able to complete it. I've started "training" (if you even want to call it that) and have 13 weeks to get my speed up to a respectable time. Now only if the weather would stay warm I could enjoy the process even more.

Cancelled?!

ABC has been attempting resurrect ratings as Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives and that other doctor show are experiencing a continual downward spiral to extinction. Their solution? Introducing The Deep End, a sexually charged showcase of first year lawyers in L.A. Since when is everyone painfully good looking in the work force? Anyway, being a Thursday night TV junkie (NBC, I'm still loyal), I enjoyed watching The Deep End. It was funny, kinda, but had something to it! After a couple of weeks of The Deep End not being on I went to the Internet to see what was up. Apparently, ABC wasn't satisfied with it's ratings and replaced the show with two equally bad creations, The Past Life and Flash Forward. My only relief to this news is the shortening of my Thursday lineup. I guess I'll have to resort to getting my 'good looks' fix with The Office, whether that's Jim or Dwight you'll never know.

Best App to Download Now


My brother told me to quickly download Apple's coolest app, Knocking Live Video. We both have iPhone 3G's and therefore do not have video capabilities. With Knocking Live we can share live video feeds from our phones! How it works? It's like having a webcam on your phone and uses the camera already on your phone. The quality is surprisingly great. However, no sound transfers. Steve Jobs even personally recommended and raved over this app. Move over picture messaging, leaving "knocks" as they call it is creating major waves in the app world. The best part is that it's free! For now! Hurry download and share live video feed with your friends and family!
