Developments This Summer
June 2nd, 2009 by
Respond
Wow. I haven’t been out of school even a week and big things are already happening to me. Needless to say, they have gotten me quite excited. The first thing that has happened is a very big one. I am now making videos for 1938 Media a website that talks to the big guys in the web and tech spaces. My message is going to be getting out to more people than ever. Heck, I have more views on a single video than I usually get at this site in one month. Does that mean that I am deserting you guys over here? Absolutely not! I will just be doing two things. I do feel though, that the bigger audience warrants a higher number of posts.
The second thing that is happening is that I am going to California with our amazing neighbors to visit my equally amazing aunt! This is equally exciting because the last time I went, it was one of the best experiences of my life! This time I will be staying with my aunt in Carmel. I think it will be great and I will be SURE to get some great shots along with some great video along the way.
But, another cool thing! I will be visiting the lovely Jackie Danicki at the Qik offices in Redwood City. I cannot wait simply because Qik is one of my favorite video sharing websites (Although I do not use it nearly enough). This will be another experience with a lot of Photo and Video taken. :D Then there is the fact that I will be visiting Apple HQ (With no special clearance though. :()
Finally, I will be visiting my Dad in West Virginia and my Godparents in Kentucky. These, as always, will be fun visits and I even enjoy the trips to get there *usually*. I will be continuing my radio show, but only when I am at home. ie: Not a lot. But, that is okay because I think that this will be the best Summer ever!

Feeling Odd And The Eagle
May 2nd, 2009 by
Respond
Interesting title, right? I took me a whole five seconds to think up. :P
So, I have been feeling pretty sick for the past few weeks and I do not like it one little bit. At the same time the great weather was making up for it. (Obviously this no longer applies.) So, now I just feel sick. That’s cool though because there are so many awesome things coming up and going on!
First of all, I now work with the high school radio station! That is one of the things that I have wanted to do since childhood (obviously at various stations, but still.) I absolutely love it and will be launching the second incarnation of “Rush Hour Rampage” in the Fall. Obviously I am excited, yet nervous, because when Dirk and Laurie did the show they were pretty amazing!
I also got to night manage during one of the more recent baseball games at the high school. That was pretty fun too, and I may have even “met” Lucy (The Ghost ;)) I listen to the games anyway and I cannot see anything more fun than hanging out at a radio station, so it was win win.
There is also the fact that school will be ending in less than twenty days! I cannot believe that this year has gone by so fast. I am excited for my electives next year, so I won’t be horribly unhappy when Fall comes around. The best thing coming up, however, is the trip to Pebble Beach, California.
I have been to Pebble Beach one other time in my life, and will never forget it. I could not believe the views, and even took a photograph that ended up being published! While I am there I will get to visit the Mothership (One Infinite Loop, Cupertino California). Not to mention the fact that I will get to meet the awesome Jackie Danicki at the Qik offices. I cannot wait, folks!
That is about it really. Be sure to listen to the show on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3:30 EST at the WJHS 91.5 FM Website!

iPhone FMJ Earbuds from Skullcandy
March 17th, 2009 by
Respond
[Disclosure: These were sent to me for review, free by Skullcandy.Com]
Wow, it has been a long time since I received these earbuds and that long time comes with a long story. You know me! But, I will skip the story and get straight to the product review!
These earbuds have some of the best sound I have ever heard as far as in-ear earbuds go and I love them. At least to a certain extent. I received them in the mail and was thrilled. I wanted a set of earbuds that I could control my iPhone’s iPod with, and take calls on. These filled that need.
The earbuds are awesome as far as looks go. The are metal plated on the entire speaker unit, and the cord is metal covered in flexible plastic. The plug is also metal plated. These features all come together to give these earbuds a classy and overall great look!
Now we come to the sound aspect. I have yet to hear such good bass distinction in this price group. The higher notes are occasionally missed, although this is with MP3 format. When I got them I was thrilled with the sound. As time went by I would occasionally notice the right side crackle a little and even stop working. This became more common as I used the earbuds. Now it is to the point where If I do not put just the right amount of pressure on the right bud when I put it in it is distinctively muffled and not really worth using. I was highly disappointed with this factor.
I still use these earbuds, but am looking for another pair because the precision with which I have to put the right bud in my ear is not worth it. Another note though, the left side sounds magnificent.
Would I suggest these to a friend? I would, but only if this problem has not happened to other people.
Are they worth the price? This really depends. At $79 they will not be worth it to some people. I don’t consider myself an audiophile but still think the price is worth it.
Overall Opinion? Good earbuds but not necessarily overly sturdy. Be careful with them!

Tweetie App For iPhone
March 14th, 2009 by
Respond
Tweetie for iPhone has already been called the best Twitter iPhone app by most of the blogosphere, but I am going to put in my two cents worth. Tweetie is an all around good app, and is very stable and sleek.
In my opinion the interface is airy but still packs a punch as far as functionality. One of the coolest features not including its Twitter capabilities, is the fact that it is integrated with instapaper. This is a great feature even though I have not yet used it.
I really enjoy the fact that I can view TwitPic images without going to the webpage. This makes viewing them a lot less distracting. Not to mention the fact that it still has its own browser built in!
Since it has its own browser built in, I can view webpages within the app and not lose my place within the Twitter stream. But, I cannot just skip over the main feature, Twitter itself. Tweeting from this app even seems simpler than with other Twitter apps out there. Not only can you retweet, but you can also tweet in the landscap keyboard mode!
These compliments are quite mixed and given in no specific form, but they are the best things about the app.
I would most definitely suggest this to anyone looking for a good Twitter app for the iPhone. Check it out. It is most definitely worth your $3. And, with three themes to choose from and multiple ways to share tweets, you will never get bored!

ifrogz iPhone 3G Luxe Case
March 14th, 2009 by
Respond
I was recently given the ifrogz iPhone 3G case as a gift from a family member, and was thrilled with it as soon as I opened it. Of course, it was black and orange so what do you expect?! The first thing I noticed was that it was very sturdy. I previously had been using a rubber cover, mainly to avoid scratches. This was decent also but that is for another review.
The sturdiness worried me at first. I don’t want a case to make my phone look bulky. I really like the look of the iPhone without a case, and in fact preferred it that way. The case was in two pieces, the larger one being orange. The bottom was black. The two pieces slide onto the phone and interlock, giving it a very secure but not damaging fit. This was yet another thing that I liked.
The previous rubber case would pick up lint from my pocket, causing dust buildup inside the case. This actually caused scratching on the phone’s corners. I did NOT want this to happen again. Thinking about this I hesitated to put the case on my phone. Finally I broke down and put it on.
In the next few days I noticed that the phone didn’t slip out of may hand anymore. This would obviously extend the life of the phone. I was beginning to love the case.
Something like a month later I decided to remove the case and see the damage. There wasn’t any! No dust had made its way into the case. Better, yet there were no scratches on the back whatsoever. Great case!
In summary:
I would suggest this case to anyone who asks about it.
It protected my phone in an exceptional manner.
It is so cool looking you won’t want to take it off.
And finally, It is a great buy for the price! (In my opinion.)
