From jail that is. It was a bit scary to do, but loving that I did.

How can I make grilled cheese in my toaster? This question has plagued so many of us for decades now. Never fear tostabags are here.

Toastabags have many advantages: 1. Healthy eating, no added fats required2. Tough enough to be used over and over again3. Just wipe clean ready for next time4. Cook meals in a tiny, low-budget space Toastabag - it turns your toaster into a sandwich maker.

Almost $20 for two crappy bags that has to be a huge pain to clean and prob do not allow good toasting. Seems kinda silly. Also I triple decker my cheezy sammiches and no tostabag could possibly contain one of mine.

So before i got the iphone I was all like “wowz I will be able to track my rides on my iphone”, but then I got it and found out that by default it does not work like that. Lucky for me instamapper came out with an app and using their wesite it will follow me around. Sure it eats up the battery like crazy, but is really cool.

map below will change as I use it.
Gonna get a good map of my bike ride tonight.

GPS tracking powered by InstaMapper.com

UPDATE: Although this is a really cool app, the iphone turns off GPS when you lock it. So no turning it on and throwing it in your pocket and getting a tracking. You gotta keep the phone on and have that app open.

Two agonizing hours of phone no worky and trying to troubleshoot the problem. The 2.0.1 update was huge and I decided to try it out. Backing the iphone up takes forever in the 2.0.0 version so I let it do that while I made dinner. Ran the update which gives you little info and took a long time. Then went to restore and it failed, and failed, and failed. Looked around and found some stuff. Ended up just needing to “reboot” the phone and restore to a point way back in time. Had to resync all my music and apps. Lost all my data too, like passwords on websites, contact information, location data on apps. Pretty much had to start all over again. Pretty big bummer actually.

I had an app called box office installed and apple has pulled the app from its store for some reason. Nobody really knows why though. Having that on there might of been what hosed me cuz it was having all sorts of errors about that app being on there.

But the update seems to have improved a few things. Contacts is faster, and the home screens flick better, but the best is the keyboard seems faster. So I guess it was worth it. Theresa’s is next.

My razr had scratches on the glass and I do not want the same fate to happen to my phone. Theresa picked up an invisible shield last night and I got one today. A worthy investment as far as we know. It changes the feel a bit, bit is worth it.

Sheet is crazy protective and really adds no bulk or decreased sensitivity to our iphones. It actually makes your fingers slide along it better.

Scuse me while I geek out for a bit. I wanted an old iphone back when it came out, but waited. My 1st gen razr was pretty lame. Really wanted a good web browser phone. I researched the iphone and it seemed cool. Even while waiting for it to show up I learned all I could about it. But I did not realize just how cool it really was. The phone part is just a feature actually. It really is a mini computer that does more than my regular computers in ways.

The GPS mapping is really cool. I wish it could track where you have been so you can upload it to the web or a PC, but apps are in the works for that functionality so I just need to be patient. I was surprised by how many programs use your location though. Weather, the camera, the yellow page app, movie checking apps, and even a really cool grocery shopping list program I found. The GPS is smart enough to know which part of my house I am in or what lane of the street. The directions in maps is plenty for a turn by turn on a phone.

I think this would make Alton’s head explode. Just think how nicely this would fit in your utensil drawer.

Pizza scissors are the new hotness.

Theresa got her iphone friday, my account got charged Friday, I was first in the queue friday, but I still wait for a “it has been shipped” tracking #.

We have put the hurt on Theresa’s iphone though. Battery power is not what you would expect. We were draining it quick over the weekend. Lots of fun apps out there. Trisim is horribly addicting. The maps with GPS is really fun to play with. It can tell if I am in the living room or near the back door. On our way to dinner last night it tracked pretty good. Said Theresa was in the opposing lane a few times and we apologize for all the houses we went through around 9th and D street. Got browsing down good, and it only crashed about 4 times on me. Ripped some movies and played bits of one on it. Was fun.

There are a bunch of applications that require you to register with their service. I did not do that on her phone. So there are many apps I want to try out that I will have to wait for. Found a good app for hooking into flickr and it allows you to download pics from it. That is really nice. The wordpress app works pretty good too. Since you cannot copy and paste, nor use a WYSIWYG to post, links will not show up very often if I post from the phone. Oh and if you want a pic in the post you have to upload it from the phone. I heard some groans about the camera, and I have to say it is better than I thought it would be.

I better have that darn thing by tomorrow.

UPDATE: finally got a tracking number during a marathon refresh session. About 30 clicks and 2 minutes in it appeared. eeeee
