I’m sure some of you are tired of waiting for my very first podcast, and I’m happy to quickly announce that there will be one very very soon I feel. So, please stay tuned, and you’ll be rewarded.

No Music Challenge [Day 6]

This morning, I was awoken to the sweet sounds of The Blow’s “Parenthesis” (my ringtone for when my girlfriend calls). I got dressed, and then we were off to Orlando International Airport. Just as I was getting ready, I showed Ashley how to set up her own station on my account.

Since I was the one driving, I was in charge of the music, so the entire way, Pandora was on the dial in the car. After getting into Orlando, I switched on 3G since, according to AT&T it is there. I enjoyed the “Blazing the F*ck Fast” speeds fo the 3G (sorry, iPhone 3G camping joke) while I could. I left 3G on all the way home, and was happy to see that the 3G network is actually really close to near where I live, so I guess we’ll be getting it here sooner that I would have expected.

Over the transition from 3G back to EDGE, it felt almost seemless, exept for the buffer times between the tracks. Naturally, my signal dropped out eventually and it wouldn’t play the song without cutting in and out.

I’m surprised that this week is just about over. Have any of you taken up the challenge? Share your feelings in the comments.

EXCLAMATION! [iPhone 3G talk]

Now, I’m not a big fan of stealing posts from Gizmodo or Engadget, but in this case I’m going to make an exception…

There’s an iPhone 2.1 Beta…yes. Now, I’m not one to put beta software onto my beloved iPhone 3G, but I’ve kinda been waiting for this. As you can imagine, as an early adopter I’ve experienced the bugs of the 2.0 software. iGerard would give the example of his loss of SMS alert sounds. Personally, I’ve been losing my GPS every once in a while. Which I find to be a little angering when I’m trying to update my Loopt.

Anyway…the new software is supposed to be giving us better GPS support. Now you can exactly see why I’m excited about it. I’ll be adopting AFTER they launch it, cause I don’t want any more bugs than what I have now.

No Music Challenge [Day 5]

On the fifth day of my No Music Challenge, I cleaned the house. I wasn’t going anywhere today, whatsoever, so, I cleaned (god, I sound like my mother). Now, I use the vacuum pictured above. As you may, or may not, know Dysons are known to not loose their sucking power over time, this is true due to the EXTREMELY powerful motor inside. It truely sucks (yaay for puns!). Such suckage makes this vacuum 10 times louder than the traditional vacuum. Listening to my iPhone helps a lot. So, since I was in my house, I decided to listen to my Neighborhood on Last.fm (yaay WiFi!). Afterward, I went back to the Pandora app on my MacBook since I needed to clean my room for my girlfriend’s guests who are coming from Ohio and Illinois soon.

Calgoo – The New, Free Spanning Sync

I’ve been trying out Spanning Sync for a while lately. The thing I haven’t been too fond of is the thought of “what am I going to do after this trial runs out? Am I REALLY going to pay for this software?” The answer is (fortunately) no.

Enter: Calgoo and Calgoo Connect. Calgoo Connect is an app for both Windows and Mac OS X that does the same thing that Spanning Sync does, but (and here’s the kicker) for FREE!

I dashed over to Calgoo’s signup “hub“, signed myself up, and then downloaded Calgoo Connect.

The setup was quite easy, although I didn’t like that I had to make a new connection for each calendar of mine, but I like how it allows me to sync calendars from multiple GCal accounts.

It was easy to do and now everything works just as it did with Spanning Sync. So, my iCal, GCal, and I are all happy.
