Walmart and Target Take Over the USA
Feb 25th
I’m not sure if any of you have seen this yet but here are two animated maps that show Walmart and Target store openings across the USA since they began. It’s kind of cool to see how fast they pop up, especially in the 80s. The two maps are linked below Take a moment to check them out.
Windows 7
Feb 6th
I just installed Windows 7 on my MacBook. I know. Anyway, I’ll review it later after I’ve had a few days to mess around with it. So far, so good.
A New Podcast
Jan 31st
I’ve found a new podcast that is slowly becoming one of my favorites. It is called Stuff You Missed in History Class and each episode is a different subject. The hosts do a good job of making history amusing and interesting. It appears that most of the information they talk about are the small details that would have taken too much time to get into during a regular high school history class. Anyway, I recommend you check it out. They have many different subjects already published in iTunes. Find one that you find interesting and take a listen.
Twitter and My Blog
Jan 21st
I’ve just installed a new plugin that will post to my Twitter account when I update my blog. This should be helpful for those people who follow me on Twitter but don’t use Google Reader or some other RSS reader to follow my blog.
It’s a new year and I’m trying to be more proactive in my posting here. So far, I think it’s going well.

This link is why Twitter rocks!

New Podcast Feature
Dec 23rd
With the recent update to the iPhone software, the way podcasts are listed changed. Instead of showing the newest to oldest, we now get them as oldest to newest. Why is this such a good thing? Well, when you’re behind in your podcast listening (like me) you can select the oldest in the list and the rest will play in succession. I used to have to go back into the iPod application and choose the next oldest program when they were sorted newest to oldest. This makes things much more simple, IMO.
Did anyone else notice this change or is everyone always up to date on their podcast listening?
Unique Wi-Fi Name
Dec 12th
On Wednesday night my friend Erin and I went to Kobalt (gay bar) here in Phoenix. While I was using my phone, I was alerted to the fact that a Wi-Fi network was available. Take a look at the screen shot below for the unique name they chose.
Twinkle Issues
Nov 26th
Here is an image of the error I have been getting from Twinkle a lot in the past few weeks. It is very annoying. Looks like I’ll have to search for a new Twitter program for the iPhone.
