If you’re like me, one of the biggest reasons you bought your iPhone was the ability to customize how your phone looks and load what applications you want. Browsing the App Store can be addicting, going through the top downloaded lists for each categories and such has become something I do quite often.
It can be a little overwhelming when you start looking for apps to install on your iPhone. I thought I’d throw together a list of programs that I use and recommend to get you started taking full advantage of your new iPhone. Continue reading ‘Recommended iPhone Apps To Get You Started’
I got tired of waiting for my iPhone to auto-backup when I quickly wanted to sync a few songs or videos before going to bed. A quick Google search brought up a bunch of results for Mac, but not much for Windows. After some searching, I found the solution to disable the auto-backup. I wrote a little program that will enable or disable the auto-backup feature in iTunes when you plug in your iPhone.

Here is another great little comic that gave me a good laugh. I also covered another one awhile ago from Bizarro.com.
I came across this little cartoon and had a good laugh. I thought I’d share.
This Sunday, General Wesley Clark on Face The Nation questioned McCain’s claim that he is qualified in national security matters because of his experience as a POW. Here is an article from Huffington Post about the comment.
Here is what Gen. Wesley Clark said (the comments in bold are set by me):
“In the matters of national security policy making, it’s a matter of understanding risk,” he said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “It’s a matter of gauging your opponents and it’s a matter of being held accountable. John McCain’s never done any of that in his official positions. I certainly honor his service as a prisoner of war. He was a hero to me and to hundreds of thousands and millions of others in the armed forces, as a prisoner of war.”
“He has been a voice on the Senate Armed Services Committee and he has traveled all over the world, but he hasn’t held executive responsibility,” Clark said. “That large squadron in the Navy that he commanded — that wasn’t a wartime squadron.”
Moderator Bob Schieffer, who raised the issue by citing similar remarks Clark has made previously, noted that Obama hadn’t had those experiences nor had he ridden in a fighter plane and been shot down. “Well, I don’t think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president,” Clark replied.

Yes, that’s right, I’m talking to you. You know who you are. Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about or who I’m talking to. I’m talking to all those supporters of Hillary Clinton who are saying now they will go and support and vote for John McCain. Do everyone a favor and just admit that you only supported Hillary Clinton because she was a women, not because of the policies she advocated. It would make it so much more easier on us.
Since Barack Obama became the presumptive Democratic Nominee, news broadcasts and political blogs have been littered with political pundits reporting that many Clinton supporters (mainly women) are now going to back McCain in some sort of poorly thought out act of selfish revenge. The comment sections of these sites are full of Clinton supporters bashing Obama and claiming that they will now be voting for McCain in November. The sad part is that they are only hurting themselves and they are too blinded my emotion to see it.

I’m 24 and work at a large corporation as part of a larger IT support group. I’ve sat in a gray/white cubicle, participated in those meaningless meetings mandated from the “higher ups” and signed dozens of birthday cards for people that I rarely ever speak to for over 2 years now. Based on my experiences with my own job and observing the work habits/behavior of other employees in their 20’s and as well as employees who I will refer to as older employees (30’s and 40’s), I thought I’d take a little time to blog about my thoughts on what I refer to as the corporate age divide.
To be completely straight forward and probably contrary to what some older people think, from my experience of observing people their 20’s is that they almost universally are much harder workers, better dressed, more technical, and more inclined toward upward mobility than most workers of other age groups. I don’t know if it is a declared problem (or even looked at as a problem) but there is no doubt that this corporate age divide exists and if these corporations don’t start addressing the problem they will start seeing a drop in new hires of people in their 20’s and the age gap of workers continue to widen. The fact of the matter is that workers right out of college regularly work circles around the established employees they’re supposed to be learning from.
