How stupid is this?!

The biggest selling point of the new iPhone is its 3G capabilities so I thought I’d run it through its paces to see just how fast it really is. In short, it was well above my expectations!

  

The left is 3G and the right is my home Wifi connection (you can also tell by the icon next to the carrier’s name).

I had to run some errands in the morning and thought I’d test out the GPS! This is me in the parking lot.

iPhone 3G goodness

July 18, 2008

It’s here! It’s here! My iPhone 3G arrived today. I was told it would arrive during the first week of August (which would have been too late), so I was pleasantly surprised to have received this little package today. I chose the white version because it’s less prone to fingerprint smudges, and it’s a little more exclusive (only available in 16GB model). It looks great too!

Without further ado, the white iPhone 3G. Photos taken with the Nikon D80.

3G is much faster than EDGE and approaches Wifi speeds. My 6GB data plan will come in handy.

Foggy Dubai on Flickr – Photo Sharing!

Amazing shot taken from the world’s tallest structure.

Large size

There are 100 of them and 50 different photos. You can even make each card unique but I opted not to do that since I wanted multiple copies of certain photos. The back side contains my contact info.

Some of my photos didn’t quite crop correctly though, but it’s ok.

Don’t Sell Your Vote On Ebay. It’s Wrong.

Max Sanders decided it would be funny if he sold his vote in the upcoming presidential election on Ebay – minimum bid $10. And while I agree that it’s pretty funny, he’s now been charged with one count of bribery, treating and soliciting, a felony under an 1893 Minnesota law that makes it a crime to offer to buy or sell a vote. The law was used extensively in the 1920’s says this article, when people sold their votes for liquor.

A whole slew of Minnesota government officials are apparently looking at this as a meal ticket. Sanders faces a maximum penalty of up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. The eBay listing has been taken down.

Pictures of the day: 4 July 2008 – Telegraph

The elephant paints better than me!

A few of us went to go biking at Stanley Park yesterday and just when we got there, this massive group of bikers started blocking traffic and took over the road. There must have been at least a couple thousand of them. Traffic was held up for 20+ minutes as the bikers made their way through.       

I’d hate to be one of those people stuck in their car in the 30 degree heat!

This video was taken at the intersection of Denman and West Georgia.

Critical Mass is a grassroots reclamation of public space — a bike ride and skate — held the last Friday of every month. You are invited to enjoy the safety and comfort in the car-free space that we create by simply riding together! Bicycles, skateboards, rollerskates, self propelled couches, and any other form of human powered locomotion are all welcomed!

To those unfamiliar with xkcd.com the alternate text (when you mouse over the image) says: “I bet my future kids will read this someday. DEAR FUTURE KIDS: how did you get internet in the cellar?” LOL

Thanks Hannah!

Stick a Pin in It

Stick a Pin in It

While a number of speakers — such as Railroad Commission chairman Michael Williams and Mike Huckabee — have praised the advance of Barack Obama and what it means towards a colorblind society, at least one vendor hasn’t gotten the message.

At the Republican state convention, a booth hosted by Republicanmarket was selling a pin Saturday that says: If Obama is President will we still call it the White House.

Disgusting.
