Posted by David in Well, I started this blog a few weeks ago with the intention of keeping up with it. Then again, most people initially say they are going to keep up with a blog and then stop within a couple weeks. Starting a blog for most people is like making a New Year’s resolution the lose weight: worthless is most cases!
Things have been rather hectic lately with the end of the school year finally here. I have one more exam tomorrow morning and then a Physics final on Saturday and then I’ll be done with freshman year! Oh, the joys! I’m definitely excited for the summer and glad that I can finally relax and not worry about studying and going to class until the end of August!
In other news, I have become a rather crazed Apple fanatic. In the past two months I have bought an iPhone, started using a Leopard desktop full time and bought Apple stock! I would definitely say that I fully enjoy using Apple’s wonderful products. The iPhone has been utterly amazing! I went from a piece of junk Motorola v360 flip phone to a “compact computer” for a phone. I remember buying the Motorola v360 about two years ago and being pretty psyched that it had a Micro SD slot that would let me store about a gig of MP3s on my phone. The iphone I bought has 8 GBs of space and can do a million more things compared to the v360.
I have also switched over to a Leopard desktop for full time use. I still use my laptop for CAD work and for some Windows based programming but am fully content using Mac full time now. I personally find that it helps me to work better. I actually enjoy having to do homework at times just so that I have a good reason to use the Mac! The entire look and feel of the operating system is so refreshing and fun to use. Everything is “smooth” looking and makes you feel like you are engulfed in an experience as opposed to staring at a boring screen as you work on something.
To top off my Apple craze I also bought some Apple stock! This was certainly a milestone for me since it was my first stock purchase ever! Considering how much I enjoy making quick money with a minimal amount of work, I don’t know why I didn’t invest in the stock market earlier. Granted, its rarely easy to make money on the stock market without serious research, making any profit kicks the crap out of the 0.20% interest Wachovia would be paying me to have my money in a savings account. I’ll definitely see if my investment was a wise one tomorrow afternoon once able announces their earnings! It’s either going to sky rocket or plummet and I’m obviously hoping for the first one!
Well, that’s all for now. I’ll leave you with a link to my development website:
I’ve developed a couple small web applications for the iPhone and will be working on more soon now that my finals are coming to an end. Here are links to my applications on Apple’s website if you are interested:

Welcome to the family! I changed over when I moved and haven’t looked back since. I’ll be in O-town the last week in July and would love to catch up.
