several things

have happened since my last post.

actually, i don't remember quite exactly what all has transpired. 

i've come to the realization that im the worst blogger there is.

but i do like to twitter!

(you can see my twitter by clicking the above link...)

anyways.

i had this WEIRD dream last night.

i had this dream that i was building my website..

and then i took it to.................tara's mom to critique it.

HOW WEIRD IS THAT? 

i haven't even talked to that girl in like, two weeks.

how is it possible that i had a dream about her?

it was just..weird.

im getting my 85mm f/1.8 fixed, hopefully today.

and i almost wanted to switch to canon; and then realized that their autofocus SUCKS on the 5d mk II (the equivalent of my d700).

i won't lie, though; i wish nikon had put a scroll wheel (iPod like) on the back of my d700..

and hd video at your disposal is a SIMPLE PHENOMENAL.

anyways.

i have a baseball game to take pictures at.

get to see my favorite person now. ;) 

im such a nerd, seriously

so, my phone wasn't working earlier today.

i made the fatal mistake of trying to update my iphone to 3.0 a few months too early.

anyways, here's the story, for those who care.

iphone update 3.0.

it is supposed to come out in june, and it WILL BE free, then.

it was announced yesterday, march 17. 

anyways, me being the geek that i am, really, really wanted to use it before it actually came out.. so i just kinda rushed it. my friend matt teased me, and i couldn't take it - i just had to get it. so he sent me the file. and i updated my phone to 3.0. but then it turns out you need to be a registered developer for the update to work. apparently when you register as a developer, you also register your iphone through some serial number, and then they know that only those registered iphones can work with the BETA 3.0 update. well, they don't tell you this until AFTER you've updated, and rendered your iphone USELESS. so either, im without a phone, or i pay $107. so i had to pay the $107 now, to get what is essentially a free update in three months. -_-

anyways.

i finally got it back to working, and now im running the BETA 3.0 update.

here are a few of my new favorite updates.

(click links to see picture)

spotlight search: available across all applications. systemwide search available from main home screen by flicking to the left. sweet!

cut, copy, and paste!!: also available across all apps. just shake to undo or redo

landscape keyboard: available in all key apps, including mail and sms (now called messaging). MMS: you can send and receive photos right over the network. contacts (vcard). audio files. or even your location. im not sure if you'll need to add another plan to your bill; hopefully not! 

call logs: much better than what they had before; and now they actually show outgoing AND incoming calls.

there are a few more updates that i am really excited about, that i haven't been able to access yet.

such as...

- PUSH FREAKING NOTIFICATIONS. and not the crappy ones that drain your battery. they now just go through a 3rd party server, and then they're pushed onto apple's cloud, and then to your phone, almost instantaneously. 

- voice memos. (i was actually too lazy to try that out)

- shake to shuffle, like the latest generation ipod nanos. 

- safari anti-phishing. 

- ability to send multiple photos through an email at once. (i couldn't figure out how to do this if my depended on it)

a few more, but im tired of writing.

disappointed shoots

i was supposed to be shooting a famous danilo montero this saturday..

sadly, that had to be postponed, because of the weather out in houston this weekend. 

oh well.

i set up a shoot out in california this summer.

a wedding, in temecula, california (between san diego and los angeles). 

i mean, seriously.

look at this, really. 

that kind of throws a wrench in my internship plans with mr chase jarvis, out in seattle.

we'll see how that works out, though.

i hope to update this more often, as time and discipline permit, of course. 

why don't i post more often?

i don't know.

im a rather busy person.

but this week i've had interesting conversations about homosexuality, beastiality, and then of course freemasonry.

ahhh.

i love facebook, and the fact that i can talk about this openly, and argue and disagree with a person, even if they are wrong/right and im not.
