Got The iPhone, Finally

Today, I heard a knock at the door and walked outside to find a small box. As we (my wife and I) have been receiving gifts for our soon-to-be-born little girl, we both thought the box to be something baby-related. That wasn’t the case. No, it was an iPhone and although the box is black, it was shining from inside its package with all the glory of Apple.

It was supposed to be an anniversary gift from my wife but apparently, it had come really early and she hadn’t gotten to it in time to shield it from view. Hey– not my fault.

I didn’t have more than 15 minutes alone with my new little package when we had to rush off to pick up a baby crib, but as soon as we were back I was all over it. iTunes updates, music syncing, address book filling, ringtone setting, you name it.

Although I realize the initial glow of the iPhone will fade after a spell, I do see the beauty that is the iPhone. So much so that I forgive Apple for omitting basic staples of such an awesome phone (like cut and paste, video with the camera, flash support, bluetooth syncing). Also, I realize that most of these things will be covered in future releases and that their plan is to probably keep people interested while they release the already-created “features” along with bug fixes as they come up.

All annoyances aside, the machine is glorious. If you don’t have one, get one. I went from a Blackberry Pearl to the iPhone and the iPhone rocks the world of the Pearl.

Next comes my real love– my baby girl. Set for release on November 10th of this year!

Stay tuned.

Sitdiary.net Is Back!

Hey everyone,

Sitdiary.net is back and registration is open! Please let your friends know!

Last night, I was attempting to activate the registration function for Sitdiary. In the midst of furious coding, I noticed my FTP server stopped responding and the upload didn’t complete. I restarted Dreamweaver (the html editor) and logged back on to find that the file had been deleted and I’d overwritten it on my side. I was thoroughly frustrated and angry with myself, but for every dark cloud there is a silver lining.

As I was looking through the Sitdiary code directory, I noticed the old code files just sitting around, so I decided to activate them just for the hell of it. A few bug fixes and code updates later, Sitdiary is running just like it used to!

Seeing it back in action is, for lack of a better term, beautiful.

VidTutorial.com Launched!

Finally, VidTutorial.com has been launched and will now provide you with free tutorials on tons of things, like: Adobe Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Affiliate Marketing, Basic HTML, How to give a cat a bath, and more.

We plan to teach the web and we believe the best way to learn is by doing, and that exactly what the idea is– you can follow along as the video plays, so there’s no more confusion about doing something incorrectly on a normal web page based tutorial.

So far, I’ve churned out a few different tutorials on simple Photoshop effects and a couple basic HTML tutorials, but there will be many more! Stay tuned.
