Intresting thing

So I guess this post would be considered kind of a journal entry except that I’m not putting everything in here that I would put in a journal entry… If you read my old blog that was hosted at blogspot, you remember I used to do periodic updates about my life, who I liked, about my friends, and other stuff like that, well I’ve decided to do that here also, since this is kind of a newer version of that blog.

Well, it is spring break here and I’m going to my dad’s house again. I can’t wait to go because I haven’t seen him and my step mom since like, I dunno, Christmas. That is a long time in between visits especially because I’m used to seeing him and her every month. I really don’t know what I’m going to do there but I think anything will be fun.

Now, on to social/school/home life. Let me get this out, I like someone new, and if the person who I used to like reads this blog I promise that I’m not lieing. This person goes to a different school then me right now but in high school we will be going to the same. If the person who I like is reading this, she might be able to figure it out herself. For all others I’m sorry, no more clues then that.

A lot has happened…

A lot has happened (or what seems like a lot) since my last post, so lets get right into it. So last weekend, me and one of my best friends, and his other friend, went to Universal Studios, and Islands of Adventure for his Birthday. We had a lot of fun there… {Check out my videos @ http://www.youtube.com/user/Rollercoastercreator). I got some great HD video POV (point of View) and photos. It was an awesome experience except for one little small hitch. My Kodak M1033 fell into the water at the end of the Jurassic Park water ride. I was taking photos on it, and then I put i into my sweatshirts front pocket, under the lap restraint so it wouldn’t get wet on the big splash at the end of the ride. It didn’t but the rest of me got pretty much soaked.  Then, at the end of the ride, when we were getting out, my jacket must of slipped sideways or something because the camera slipped out of my pocket and through a space that was about 3 inches wide, between the dock and the boat. The ride op got it out after a little while  but it was pretty well soaked by then.

When I got home I took it apart and then let it dry for 2 nights. 1 thing totally doesn’t work and he other partially works. The CMOS CCD image capture device doesn’t work and the backlight on the LCD only works when plugged in. I contacted Kodak about it and since it got dropped into water I am not under warranty, I will either have to pay $80 to get it fixed or get a 15% off coupon for one of their products, and since I love my camera so much I think I’m going to pay the $80 to have it fixed. :(

iPhone 3.0 Software Pre-Release Rumors

As you may have heard, there is a new release of the iPhone firmware coming up called 3.0. There are many rumors that have been floating around such as Copy & Paste,  MMS messaging, EDGE or 3G tethering through USB or Bluetooth, a new, more organized App Store, among other things. We will see what comes out tomorrow when Apple does the press release. A few things I’m hoping for is Copy & Paste, MMSiphone-copymessaging, and tethering. The first two are self explanatory, but the second might be a little “why would a kid of that age want tethering?” well, I’m going on a trip to Universal Studios for a trip and would like to have an internet connection on my laptop for the trip down there, but I’m not sure that they will have released the firmware update by then, and if an old iPhone user will be able to get it or have to pay for it. I hope not.
