BACKPACK! Vol.1

Any of you guys remember when you were younger and COULDN'T pronounce the word "backpack" so it came out as "packpack"! Those were the good old days. Well this right here isn't your run of the mill JanSport...

You'll see me with this soon.

Why we grieve, but don't despair: The mind of John Stuart

Tonight, as Prestige and I were getting ready to go to an open mic, we began talking about the Jim Cramer beat down on the Daily Show. When we got to the subject of John Stuarts intelegence and courage, Prestige brought up this clip of Mr. Stuart after 9/11:

Twitter anybody???

Ahhhhh technology. In this (way too much) information age everything and everyone is accessible anytime! Enter twitter:

Pretty simple. So simple everyone 15-21 (or with a cellphone) will have one by the end of '09. So I'm hoping on the band wagon (relatively) early. Twitter.com/mrdefiant kids. I plan to break it in slow. But honestly, let the hyper-connectivity begin!

Here's a link to a convo with the founders that aired yesterday on NPR.

Why I love Apple: 4th Generation Shuffle Edition

Because I own a Mac, when I start the internets it opens to the Apple start page. Now I could change it to a diffrent home page. But if I did, I would miss out on updates like this:

The new iPod Shuffle. Go to apple.com and marvel over this 4GB, 1000 song, bite size music titan!

But while I have your attention and I'm rambling on about my one true love Apple Inc. (sorry Minni), let me tell you why I admire these geniuses in Cupertino so much. They NEVER compromise. Ever! Every product they put out with an Apple logo is engineered to perfection, mechanically and aesthetically. You never think, "wow, this looks great but works like crap" or " this is the most amazing device in the world, but it's ugly!" They give you all or nothing! Not to mention all the work they do for charities and with non-profit organizations.

So tonight, when your curled up in bed getting ready to say your prayers, make sure you give thanks for Steve Jobs and company...
