• iPhone 3.0 Software Update

  Last year at this time I was frantically calling the Glendale Galleria to see what their policy was for staying overnight to buy the new iPhone 3G. I WAS SO EXCITED. Turns out I went over there around midnight, and was joined shortly thereafter by Heidi…and we stayed up all night until the opening of the Apple Store at 8AM.
  IT WAS AWESOME.
  We were 12th and 13th in line.  We walked out of the store with our iPhones, and I’m pretty sure (not exaggerating here, folks) that there were 500 people in line behind us by that time. I actually thought I was going to be mugged, or there would be a riot…or something.
  It was epic.

  This year, I’m will not be upgrading quite so quickly. I’m not too sad about it. I love my phone…and although video capture would be pretty sweet, that’s about the only feature that I know of that is enticing as of now.  The 3.0 update is pretty rockin’ and there’s an app for just about everything…soooooo I’m good.  I’m good for now…you know…and also, I kinda started a business this year…and that has cost me some money…so, I’m being smart this time…and waiting.

  I’m not sad.

  Really.

  In other news:
  This week has been amazingly stressful, but I’m just about done with EVERYTHING I wanted to accomplish. I’m sooooo grateful to you all for your prayers.  It has been tough and also fulfilling.

  Twelve years ago I walked into a professors office as a lowly freshman at APU and told him that I wanted to be the next John Williams.
  I was definitly more bright-eyed and bushy-tailed than I am now…
  He went on and on about how hard I was going to have to work–told me about all I needed to learn and know how to do–and frankly, overwhelmed me a bit.  So let me just say that although I am actually TRULY surprised by the incredible amount of work it takes to do what I’m doing, I can’t say that I didn’t see it coming. The long hours and sleepless nights are just all a part of the deal, folks…and let’s just be clear that I’m not making millions here, either…I’m still doing a lot of work for free and/or little pay. That’s just where I’m at on the totem pole, but I’m OK with it.
  And I press on…working my bushy tail off…and sometimes taking a break for facebook scrabble.

  And let that just be the gauntlet you need thrown before you if you aren’t already playing with me…I hereby challenge you to a facebook scrabble duel.

  BRING IT ON.
