Yeargh! Time for taxes...

2012-02-02T12:28:00.000-08:00

Starting prep for taxes. Got some of my tax documents in the mail. All I can say. Depressing!

Missing '+ Add All to Queue'

2012-01-11T10:01:00.000-08:00

I'm finding some new anime shows to watch on Hulu, but running into a problem where not all of them (well most of them) don't have the "+ Add All to Queue" link. It's not that bad adding each individual episde when there are only 12, but it gets to be a pain where there's 26 episodes in a season and there are two seasons available.

Trying out Find My Friends and logging in

2011-11-28T20:03:00.001-08:00

I guess it's a security thing, but it seems that the Find My Friends app requires you to enter your password every time you launch it if your device doesn't have an unlock code set.

Think Different by Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs narrates the Think Different ad.

Especially now, I think this version has more of an impact.

iOS next week

2011-10-04T18:23:00.000-07:00

Looks like I'll be waiting till next week to get iOS 5 on my iPad. Given that I have the first gen iPad, I hope it doesn't lag too much. Not like iOS 4 on the iPhone 3G that is. Just give me the better notifications.

No iPod Touch with 3G

2011-10-04T18:17:00.000-07:00

Well, no iPhone 5 nor iPod Touch with 3G. I guess those rumors about the new iPod Touch being the older iPhone without contract were way off base. Probably too many people would just grab something like that with Skype rather than get stuck on a 2 year contract. That's what I would've done.

Pretending on Burn Notice

2011-09-28T23:10:00.000-07:00

Just happened to catch the last couple episodes of Burn Notice and found it interesting to find two former The Pretender cast members. Patrick Bauchau (Sydney) was on the episode "Eye for an Eye" and Michael T. Weiss (Jarod) was just on "Army of One." Jeffrey Donovan, who plays the lead character on Burn Notice, Michael Weston, also played as Jarod's brother in The Pretender. It's like a family reunion.

Getting notifications

2011-09-27T12:04:00.000-07:00

So Apple sent out invitations to their Oct 4th event. I'm just hoping for iOS 5 to be released. The updated notifications would be a big improvement over the can't-do-anything-until-you-click-close notifications dialog boxes that show up in iOS 4.

Losing something

2011-09-19T11:24:00.001-07:00

Sometimes it's hard losing something. Sometimes it's even harder when someone else gets it.

Qwikster or Netflix

2011-09-19T10:10:00.000-07:00

So I'm debating between streaming only or DVD only. I know for sure I'm not going to do both. Streaming is great since it's instant access, but there are a lot of titles that aren't available. However, I'm not sure if I will have time to watch DVDs if I go with Qwikster even though I'll be able to rent everything and anything. Maybe I'll just cancel it all together and just stick with Hulu. Hahaha! Most of the stuff I watch are the TV shows there anyways.

So where's the lower gas prices?

2011-09-17T23:38:00.000-07:00

I've been hearing a lot recently about how the gas prices will be going down 30 - 35 cents a gallon. However, that hasn't been happening as the gas around where I live have actually gone up. It hurts every time I take the car to fill up.
