About me

I got to see one of my favorite acts at the SOS Club in Modesto for my birthday. Willie and Lobo are just great! Unfortunately my little point and shoot doesn't give a good image but the sound is pretty good. They did such a nice job on this song that I had to share! Go to willieandlobo.com to learn more about them. Oh yeah - I have this song as my iPhone ring tone! :)

 

Yup that's right! I have to tell you it doesn't particularly like that LOL! The iPhone is a very smooth object and it slipped right out of my hands and straight into the last place on earth I would want it to go. I tried to get the battery out if it as fast as I could and with the help of my friend tried to install a new one. No such luck though. So I sent it to ipodmechanic.com but I should have done my research. Sending it to them for repair was the same as sending to my trash can in the back yard. There is plenty of stuff on the internet about them not shipping the item back until harassed and that is what I had to do. They didn't even want to do that at first. They wanted to have me just donate it to them. There is no phone number to contact them directly and if you email them all you get is an automated response that they got your iPod which it wasn't an iPod it was an iPhone! I don't normally talk bad about a company but this place was a real rippoff especially for a device that you start to depend on you would like some sort of feedback.

And I love it! It's such a slick looking little toy. It has pluses and minuses that's for sure but it's so easy on the eyes. I can really see everything. I wouldn't want it any smaller. It hardly comes with a manual. You don't need one it's so intuitive. The speaker phone is worthless, its hard to navigate to make a phone call quickly , you can only delete an email message one at a time and no flash. Other than that it's super fast for a machine like this and web browsing is a snap. Beautiful clarity and very well made. Not your typical cheap plastic phone but good clear glass. It fits so nicely in the pocket. It even has a little camera!

 

 

I needed a little retreat and this little plot of earth was it. It had to be protected from horses and from peacocks so I got this old carport and covered it with bird netting and electric fencing around the perimeter. I also used this as an opportunity to learn a little about Googles 3D drawing program. I sketched out my ideas there. I also get home fairly late at times so I rigged the garden up with lights.
