Self Confidence.

I bought some art to decorate my room this week:


It's by Delavega who has his own nifty little store in the east village selling paintings, t-shirts, stickers, and framed art. I couldn't afford his framed version which ran for $150-$500, so I bought a postcard and framed it. =P

It's totally up to interpretation, but I really like how it describes self confidence.

Unleash the beast baby.

Welcome to geek week!

As most of you nerds know, last week was the culmination of another period of ingenuity. CES and MacWorld Expo 2007. For people like me, I live and die for this kind of stuff. It's basically a week of breakthrough technology in consumer electronic products. What does that mean? Generally a couple things:

1) Bigger TV's
2) Sleeker TV's and smaller devices
3) Something really ape

Without boring you too much I just wanted to give a quick recap of some of the technology that really amazed me last week.

Sony came out with a line of Tv's using OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diodes):

They look like normal LCD TV's from the front, but BAM!! give them a nice 90 degree swivel and they are as thin as the seat pads your fat aunt sits on during church on sunday. As far as what the OLED's are made out of and what the lifespan is I'll have to find out.

LG came out with a TV capable of displaying 3D images without using 3D glasses. Check out these yummy burgers:

Sharp came out with an 108 inch LCD-TV. Pretty slick if you have a car to sell to buy this thing:


Finally, I have to give it up to my hometown homeboy from the CPT Stevie Jobs for announcing quite possibly the slickest looking glorified ipod to date. The iphone (pending trademark battles with cisco). I'd try to explain all the features but wouldn't do it justice compared to the flash videos they have at apple.com, after all, pictures are worth 1000 words.


Ah...yes...so pretty.....I like to think of the iPhone as your life in a box. Your single connection to the world can pretty much be accessed by this puppy, a little scary, but also super convenient. Anyways, I think that's a good enough summary to get your toes wet in one of my many interests. Have a great week.

New Year, New Insights, New Life, Still Just Me.

If you're reading this post....I'd like to applaud you for keeping up with my shaky non-existent blog that I post to ever-so-frequently-possibly-annually, and will that change? Only the future holds the truth.

So where do we go from here? I feel like a good recap of the last half of the year might pose necessary:

Since my last post back in what? July? I have moved into the Big Apple, where I now reside in a nice 4 bedroom apartment with some truly magnificent roomates/psuedo roomates and not so great cockroaches (it's actually not so bad). My life really hasn't turned 180 degrees as I expected, it's actually turned more like 270 degrees due to my frequent trips back to the sunshine state and semi-frequent trips to the good ol' CPT. I like to think of them as treatment for my monthly doses homesickness. I've been on the east coast for a whole 4 months now, but I've managed to physically stay in my Manhattan apartment with a hefty rent for a cumulative total of a whopping 2 months. In this time period, I've somehow managed to actually make more new friends from San Francisco by an infinite factor then I have on the east coast. That's pretty much my last half of the year in a small nutshell glittered with frequent nights of good people, good food, good booze, bad booze, good toys and last but definitely not least GOOD TIMES.

With that said, I felt like it would be a good idea to actually make some real new years resolutions this year and even more so write them down somewhere where I could, or others could see to hold them against me or I could hold against myself. I'm generally not a believer in new years resolutions for myself simply because I know who I am and I know "change" is usually nothing but a 6-letter word. As hypocritical as that all sounds, here goes:

1) Meet more people, and live it up in NYC while I'm here
2) Read more books
3) Manage my time better
4) Spend more time on hobbies (guitar, video editing, photography)

on the things I should do regularly:

*save more money(buy less toys)
*eat healthier
*drink more wahduh

I think that's it for now, I may have to edit this a couple times, haha. Anyways, cheers to a new year, new insights, a new life in the big apple and all the while, cheers to just being me.
