t-mobile-shadow-pda-phone.jpgBeing how I was just about forced to buy a new phone because the one i had before which was the Motorola w-490, was already replaced once and started to give me the same problems as before. I decided I wanted to step up a notch to more of a pda and I picked up the T-mobile shadow. One of the first programs I installed on it was my sling player to be able to watch my tv from anywhere I get coverage, with out having to use my laptop as I usually would. My biggest complaint so far (as well as many others) is the battery life. My other phone would let me go days with out a charge. This one you can’t even make it through a day without charging it (if you use it as much as I do).

But with this purchase I decided to enable my blog to be more mobile friendly. You can find the link in my sidebar, but if your on your phone, It should take you straight to it.

Copies of my Work

Mar-19-2008

Am I stupid for wanting to have a copy of something I worked on after it’s been printed up? I did a website for Adrian’s business PCC. Then was asked to design an advertisement for a local paper (still waiting to see what happens with it), brochures (still need to be printed) and then what you see here, which is a 18″x24″ yard sign to be placed on lawns while they are working on a project. They wanted it just two colors the only thing that is missing is the logo and that is because who ever originally designed it didn’t provide the proper format for it. We are now waiting to get it converted.

Typical MySpace Photo

Jan-24-2008

Ok since i’m in such a weird mood tonight I’m gonna post another blog that is total nonsense.

I have always laughed at people who take pictures of them selves in the mirror with their camera and especially with the flash on so it reflects and all you see is a big flash. So because I’m in a weird mood I though to join them, so here you go me acting like I don’t know how to point the camera at myself with out using a mirror.

Thought I would share some of my latest purchases, it’s either that or I blog about work. And that would just be boring wouldn’t it?

So first we have my 8GB Nano Ipod (Can you believe it took me so long to get one?)

Then we have my 2.5″ 250 GB Pink WD USB External Hard Drive that I loaded up with all my music so I could free up space on my laptop.

Then the one thing that practically gave Brandon a Heart Attack when he saw it at our house this afternoon from coming home from School, A Xbox 360.

Of course one of the main reasons I wanted to get the 360 besides to make Brandon happy is so I could buy Rock Band and rock out.

Rock Band, for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, is the creation of Harmonix, makers of the smash hit Guitar Hero series. It takes that gameplay — jamming out rock songs by pressing buttons and strumming on a plastic guitar controller — then adds karaoke vocals and a drum controller. In all, four people can play together, following their own musical patterns and creating a whole song.

Here are the controllers minus the Microphone and drum sticks that are put aside.

Then I thought I would share a nice little gemstone bracelet that Tammy made for me the other night

SD 2008 Auto Show

Dec-30-2007

Today Brandon and I went with Angela and Armando to the Convention Center for the 2008 San Diego International Auto Show. Brandon and I were originally going to go on Friday with the free tickets I get from his Grandma who works there. But she told me that kids 12 and under get in free on Sunday I knew I had to go with Angela.

So lets get on to the awesome photos….

This is love at first sight Chrysler 300 (Cinister Edition)

Angela’s Favorite

How low can you go?

Sweet ass Mercedes

Two shots of the doors rotating open with the seat

No words needed

Made for the beach this car lets you drive while soaking wet as it drains all the water through the floor, don’t imagine it would be very comfortable though

Brandon standing next to 43″ Lexani’s

Armando and Brandon posing with one of the cars, don’t remember what it was just know it was a DUB edition

One weird looking BMW
Doesn’t look too comfortable to sit in and drive

Here is a short video clip of the door sliding open while it rotates the seat to get in and out

This electric car will let you drive 40 miles without using a drop of gas

Another one of my favorite cars

Big enough ya think?

You can find these and over a hundred more here
