End of the month update!
A lot has happened since the 18th.
- I was checking out a housing development in Tramonto and picked up 2 nice big nails in my tires. When I took the car to the tire shop- they found that I actually cracked one of my rims as well. Crap!
- To be honest, I not only picked up 2 nails in my tires, I picked up a house as well. It won't be ready for another year though so my excitement is somewhat limited. The basic stats: 2195 sq ft, 2 story, 4 bed, 3 bath, 9 ft ceilings, cobblestone driveway, and best of all- it's located in a gated community. Anyone interested in renting my old house when I move? :)

I can't think of anything else that is new...

second post of the day!
I was just reading something about time travel and being able to see things in the past if you go out to space fast enough and turn around. So then if you wanted, you could go back in time and listen to MLK's "I have a dream" speech...
This thoery isn't old but there's something that I noticed that I don't think anyone else has ever noticed about the theory...
You really WOULDN'T hear MLK's speech because the speed of sound is NOT THE SAME SPEED AS THE SPEED OF LIGHT.
It's a lot slower and it diminishes as the distance between the source and the listener increases. Not only that but if you were to really go out into space and look back - you would have to go STRAIGHT out from where you were - like... there would be ZERO room for error. Think about it - if you went out into space and then looked back but you had gone out at a slight angle, you would be looking back at a different part of the world or of something entirely different and not from Earth.
Now THAT'S something I bet you haven't heard people talk about when chatting about time travel.

first post of the day!
I haven't updated this for several weeks. Sorry.
Cool food, cool screensaver, and cool site!
Check out this cool restaurant - Chino Bandido!
Cool screensaver - check out Geisswerks.com. Click here to download! for a swirly swirly dynamic screensaver/desktop background imaging engine.
I found an interesting site named DodgeBall.com and it is owned by Google. Check it out to see how you can broadcast your text messages to your friends and use your phone to find each other!
Here's the e-mail they sent to me after I signed up.
Right on! You rock! And welcome, dear friend, to dodgeball.com!
Phoenix is unruly - that's why we've put our best code monkeys to work building tools to help you navigate this fine city in the context of your friends.
In case you were wondering...
Q: What is it?
A: dodgeball.com is a social networking site built specifically for mobile phones.
Q: What does it do?
A: The idea is simple: tell us where you are and we'll tell you who and what is around you. We'll ping your friends with your whereabouts, let you know when friends-of-friends are within 10 blocks or alert you if any of your crushes are nearby.
Q: Give me an example.
A: Okay, so you're having drinks at Luna Lounge. Send us a text message telling us where you are and we'll fire off a text message to all your friends telling them where they can find you. If we find any friends-of-friends within 10 blocks, we'll ping you with their whereabouts too. If you have a camera phone, we'll even send you their picture.
Q: How do I use it?
A: Whenever you're out, use your mobile phone to send a text message to "phoenix@dodgeball.com" with a "@" and then the name of the bar, restaurant or park you're at. e.g. @Luna Lounge, @Bowery Bar. When we get your text message, we'll check to see if there's anyone you know nearby.
Q: So, how do you know who my friends are?
A: You need to tell us who your friends are, just like you did with those other social networking sites.
Q: So how is this different than those other social networking sites?
A: dodgeball.com is designed to help you meet up with friends and friends-of-friends while you're out, not while you're sitting at home in front of your computer. Try "checking-in" the next time you meet up with friends for drinks and see who you end up meeting up with.
Q: Now what?
A: To get started:
1. Head back to dodgeball.com.
2. Browse around, find your friends and invite them to be your friend.
3. Send invites to your friends that haven't joined dodgeball.com yet.
Or... just put it on your site and share with friends??
