I’ve been trying to create an entry for the iLounge Wallpaper Contest. I started out with this great idea, a funky retro lounge overlookng a city skyline… but I was totally unsuccessful in implementing it. Instead I started wandering and came up with the following image. I have no idea where this dude came from.
My hosting company (doteasy) was nice enough to upgrade my account so that I could install WordPress 2.1. This is a test post to check and make sure everything is working properly.

Sweet, looks like tinyMCE works a bit better now, at least in Safari.
Don’t email me at my .mac account. I’ve decided not to renew my account. A hundred bucks a year for the few features I use isn’t worth it IMHO. Perhaps if I didn’t have this site and needed a place to host my junk it would be worth it, but I can’t see spending the money. I really wish Apple would have updated it sooner, or perhaps lowered the price, but alas it wasn’t meant to be.
I mentioned to my lovely wife that I’d like to get a piano for our new house. She jumps on the internets an finds a piano, for FREE. So we rent a truck and go and pickup the piano. It took 4 of us to get in in the house, the thing weights close to 500 lbs. Seriously. It’s a little out of tune but it’s in great condition. I’ve put the pictures up on my flickr page. As cliché as it sounds, Craigslist is THE source for all things cool.
My previous cell phone comes from the era of New Radicals and the Y2K scare. It was definitely time to upgrade to something new. I was holding out on picking up something that would take decent photos and have a better battery life than my old phone.
I think I’ve found the best phone that does all the above at a reasonable price. The Sony Ericson w810i. It has a built-in 2.0 megapixel camera, an FM radio and MP3 player. It syncs beautifully with my Mac and takes the same memory format as my PSP. (Memory Stick Duo)
I wanted to have a small camera that I could take with me when I was out and about to capture the interesting things I see. I’ll be updating my flickr page with photos from my camera. Enjoy and Happy Holidays.
