Apple iTunes 7.3 Released. New features include: ability to activate iPhone service; syncing iPhones with your music, movies, tv shows, etc.; and wirelessly share photos from your computer(s) with an Apple TV.
Sorry for the light posting as of late. I’ve been swamped at work, and trying to spend less time online at home. That, and I didn’t really have anything to post about…
Anyway.
My wife asked me last night why I didn’t want an iPhone. And as soon as I came in this morning, coworkers were asking to see mine. (I had to inform them, that they aren’t available until 6pm tonight…) I’m not going to get an iPhone… not now anyways. It’s a beautiful piece of hardware, and I’d love to have one at some point, but for now, I’ll pass. There’s a couple of reasons for this:
At some point, I might be in the market for one, but for now I’m saving up to get a Digital SLR, such as the Nikon D40 or Canon Digital Rebel XT.
Typical Beastie Boys it ain’t! The latest album from The Beastie Boys, “The Mix-Up” is definitely worth checking out. It’s purely instrumental, and man is it funky. You can snag it via iTunes (DRM-free, I might add!)
It is quite unlike anything else they’ve released… so be prepared. I would definitely regard most of the album as “chill music” - perfectly suited for office listening.

Not content with seeing it just once, I braved Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer for a second time. The verdict: it’s not that bad of a movie. The Silver Surfer really made this movie for me. The special effects added a lot, and really brought the character to life. Plus, Lawrence Fishburne played the voice of Silver Surfer, and what’s not to love about that?
Bonus: One of the cooler things about the movie, imho, is there are two scenes in the movie where Galactus makes a quasi-appearance. The first is when Galactus is approaching Earth and is passing Saturn… you see the silhouette of Galactus covering the planet…. The second time you’ll sort of see him is towards the end of the movie… You’ll catch a glimpse of a loose silhouette of him, plus the colors used in the comics….

CampaignMonitor: Updated CSS Support in Email Report. Had this flagged in FeedBurner since last week and meant to post it here… This is going up on my office wall.
It’s Graphic Novel day once again! Chapter 39: Betty (Part 1 of 4) was posted to the official Heroes website today. The graphic novel comes in two flavors: interactive or printable [PDF].
If you’re not familiar with the graphic novel, you should be! (You can read all of the past graphic novels here.) In most cases they pick up right where the television show leaves you and fill in additional back story between episodes.
A brief introduction to this week’s graphic novel after the jump.
If you needed a reason not to own a cat, here’s a pretty good one.
If you’re in the Augusta area, and can spare a pint, Shepeard Blood Center is in desperate need of O type blood. Given the FDA’s current restrictions on accepting blood from people who lived in Germany between 1980 and 1990, I can no longer give blood… otherwise I’d be all over this. Before the restrictions I was just shy of giving three gallons of B Negative.
Weirdest Story of the Day. I guarantee it.
