The weather is finally getting to be warmer, and the sun is shinning. I just thought I would post some random thoughts.
Life is getting easier, with a little more time available then there has been in the last year or so. My son is almost a year old, and he is starting to talk. He doesn’t want to, or is too lazy to walk, but we feel that he is ready and is strong enough to walk. He is learning more every day.
My wife is selling pampered chef and she is also an independent scentsy consultant. She is doing great at it. She has been working her butt off to take care of the house and still sell all these products, and still take care of the kids. That is too many full time jobs.
I have been diving back into photography latley because we finally have a nice Digital SLR. I am learning quite a bit and am having fun with it. I think I might try and enter the fair photo contest this year depending on what the theme is. I am looking for some accessories for the camera to futher expand my knowledge.
I haven’t been playing with iPhone programming latley because I still don’t have enough time to sit down and study it. I still would like to attempt it one day.
The new ipad looks interesting, but I don’t see it fitting my life. It would be better if the made it a little more like a laptop and less like an iPhone. A webcam would be nice and less restrictions. Allow people to customize more then what is possible on the iPhone. Also, while I am talking about apple and their products, where is the next iPhone os? It has been too long since they have released anything. Every os revision forthe iPhone is making a better phone, but there are still some outstanding issues that need to be dealt with. The ability to customize the phone would be nice. To change the background of the home screen, not just the lock screen. To have more control over the sounds, to be able to change the message sound and other various sounds to anything that you can assign a ring tone to. Speaking of which, why should I have to buy a song and then buy the ability to make it my ringtone. The iPhone should have the capability to make ANY song in it’s library a ringtone. We also should have the ability to save files from the Internet and the granger them to our computer, not just photos. We should also be able to save files to the phone so if we need to, we can send them through email. This Phone is so powerful, but yet it can’t do some the most basic features that windows mobile has been doing for years.
It’s Friday again. Been another busy week. Last couple of days, I have been working with photoshop and designing pictures for a couple of websites I am working on. I have been learning alot latley About how to do things with Photoshop. Some of them almost look pro!!! So I will be doing some more later tonight. I might actually let this one go live if I can figure out a few minor issues.
Don’t have any plans for this weekend yet, so I might be able to fish the 2 site I am working on. Then I will be able to get back to the iPhone programming class I am doing. There are alot of great resources to help this. I will have to start putting some more on here to help others. Not sure if anybody actually reads this, but what the heck, I might refer back here one day to see where I learned certain things from.
Until next time…
Well, it’s the weekend. I am in my friends new Jett tdi going for a drive. Pretty nice not having to drive for once. I might have my fish tank sold, which mean I can probably rplace my sunglasses and might have enough left over to get the new snow leopard for my MacBook. That would be nice to play with. A lot of new features in it, plus it should take full advantage of the 64bit processor. I am still trying to find time to learn to program for the iPhone. I have some really good ideas and I even have a website for one of them. I have gone through a couple of the class lectures from stanford but it is much harder now so I need to be activly on the laptop trying things out when I go through the next lecture.
The baby is 4 and a half months old so it should start to get a little bit easier to find time. I hope it does so I can try and get something on the app store and bring some money in to our house.
We need it.
Untill next time.
I guess before I get to far i should say a little about my background.

I currently work for a group of car dealerships in the IT dept. I am MCSE Certified and have the knowledge and experience to get a bunch more certs, but i just havent done it yet. I am hapily married to my beautiful wife Nancy, we are expecting a new baby boy any day now. We also have 2 other kids (Hers from a previous Marriage) and 2 dogs.
This Bloging is really new to me so it will be interesting how it goes. If there is anything you would like to know from me, Just ask, and depending on what it is, I might answer.
I really like wolves, so you will see them floating around the site quite often.
I am setting this blog up to keep track of my thoughts and experiences with learning how to develop applications for the Iphone. I will probably change this in the near future depending on how well it works out.
