New Greg Lifhits Project

Thumb_20071127094229_016_09aMy good friend Greg Lifhits has launched his newest project which is at its most basic point a photo blog. While we all wait for his much anticipated flash portfolio to launch you can spend some time looking at the world through his eyes. Honestly, I am only plugging him because he made me.

Kidding!

Seriously Greg has been really adding to his portfolio as of late and he has managed to grab some great shots. If you are a fan of independent photographers like Luc Rioual then surf on over to Greg’s new online portfolio and check out his collection of pictures.

Bloodninja - Today’s Time Waster

No this isn’t a game or anything like that. It requires only that you are able to read. Technically then if you are reading this you are in good shape!

These are real conversations from someone posing as “Bloodninja”. This is his hilarious attempt to cyber with girls. It sounds lame but it is some of the funniest shit I have read in a long time.

Check it out!

If you can’t get enough of part 1, then please make your way to part 2!

No sleep tonight

Can’t sleep, I have been working all night on the Bridgeport Republic flash intro page thing. It’s 3:44am and I just finished and I am about to goto sleep.

Driving to pick up my friend Ben tonight it dawned upon me that I need a new fucking car. My car is an insane gas guzzling machine. I put 20 dollars in the tank yesterday and today I am back at E. I can’t understand how I go through so much fucking gas. Ok having a 420 horsepower V8 doesn’t help the cause much but whatever something has to give. I want to trade the fucking thing in for a 4 or 6 cyl car.

Maybe an older BMW, like an E36 or something bang for the buck I would pick up something really nice for like 10g’s. Whatever the case something has to be done. Anyway once I get the OK from the “higher ups” I will post the new Bridgeport Republic flash splash page here. Nothing extreme but it’s cool.

ZzZzzzZzz time.

Why I hate the Sidekick LX

CIMG1621Anyone who knows me knows that I love the Sidekick. I have been a user since the SK2 and now am a proud owner of the Sidekick LX. These phones have always been excellent and very friendly but I think I have had enough of the hype. Let me explain why.

The Sidekick 2 was revolutionary. AIM, Email, Text Msgs, and a great camera all wrapped up in one great phone with a full QWERTY keyboard. At the time the phone was acceptable because it was the first of its kind (yes I know and have played with the earlier Sidekicks). When the Sidekick 3 came along and sported an updated design people were positive that it would out shine the SK2 with an array of new and amazing features. Think again.

The Sidekick 3 was the most disappointing phone to date. The next gen phone still lacked key features that phones since the late 90’s have always had. Things like Video, True MMS picture messaging, Maps and navigation, and a decent screen were all missing. I bought my Sidekick 3 the day it came out and was stuck with a $400 phone that in truth was no better or any different then its predecessor the Sidekick 2. So I marched on and dealt with the lack luster phone hoping and praying, more importantly knowing that the next Sidekick to be released will pull through and impress me and everyone who calls the Sidekick their device of choice. I just knew that the next gen LX would sport a great camera that captured video! I knew that the LX would have a navigation program! I knew that the phone wouldn’t be so locked off so much so that I am forced to buy ringers from T-Mobile @ $3.00 a pop. Most importantly I knew Danger would impress me by releasing great new features that I had not even thought about! Think again.

In all fairness the LX is the best attempt to date for Danger to make a real name for itself as a true smart phone that has the essentials to compare to phones like the iPhone, N95, and Helio Ocean. It has a great screen and picture messaging but can there really be any acceptable excuse as to why there is still no video? Still no maps program? Still no alarm clock? (I know you can buy one but why should we have to buy something that is a basic feature on every phone!) Still poor call quality? And still no wifi? What must users do to have Danger listen to us? I really like my SKLX but I am also extremely disappointed. I hope the next attempt or next OTA shows the true followers of the brand that it was worth sticking around so long. At this point a Helio Ocean sounds kind of delicious.

Another piece, recent.

Midnight
You caught me off guard with a simple question
Like a fly drifting I am quickly caught in your webs
A simple question to grab my attention
Something you never had to know
Something you never had to ask

Every move was fate for me
No intentions to walk into your life
I never imagined this would be so important
But you never know who you meet at night
Everyone was missing except you and I

Dear Midnight Flame, I am burning for you
Hope is all I have now. Did you forget when we said goodbye?
Keep the paper I gave you filled with my instructions
Use it when you feel the need
I made your heart pump with a pen stroke

Dear precious Prom Queen, crown me King
In the quiet hours of the morning you ensnared me
I only hope, I only hope, I only know
Come walk with me hand in hand
I planted a seed last night, was it deep enough to grow?
