Kevin Devine – Splitting Up Christmas

Arrived at my parents’ summer house on Saturday evening.

1

Made some hot dogs and saw the sunset.

1

This is the view during the day time.

1

We went ziplining the next day at Hawksnest

1

The world’s tallest man being strapped in by the world’s shortest man.

1

Serious shit going on here.

1

The next day, we went on the Virginia Creeper trail. Yeah– it’s in Virginia. This is my version of trail mix.

1

I make this sport look good.

1

It would have been pretty serene if I wasn’t being swarmed with flies. Great.

1

The next day, we went kayaking on Watauga Lake. These legs went from pale to red in a matter of an hour or so.

1

Once you notice my dad in this photo, you’ll realize it doesn’t need a caption.

1

Epic final photo.

Kind of Like Spitting

This is another artist discography I own. Unlike any artist I’ve ever been a fan of, I frequently listen through the entire discography in a work day. KOLS is no more, though he still makes music under another moniker.

Nada Surf

Beyond their über hit in the nineties, I was turned onto their lesser-known music around the same time as Kind of Like Spitting (three or four years ago).  Their sound changes from record to record and it definitely took some getting used to each time, but I can’t stop listening to their CDs.

At first, I had no idea what it was, couldn’t find anything about it online- but, more importantly, I couldn’t find a way to disable it.

After tinkering for a little longer, I saw I could rotate the canvas using two fingers on the trackpad. Still, I hate this feature and it annoyed the hell out of me.

A few weeks later, I googled around and found an Adobe-issued plugin that disables the feature for trackpad users. Here is a link to the Adobe download page:

http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4337

Once downloaded, move the plugin to your Adobe Photoshop CS4 install directory plugins folder and restart photoshop. Works like a charm.

Booya. Damn, I hated that feature.

I’m not quite sure what the recommended serving size is, but I’m sure I exceed it by at least… 5 times per sitting.

That being said, there is one thing I’ve noticed when opening an exorbitant amount of these little devils consecutively:

The wrappers almost always have a static cling/charge that keep the wrapper stuck to my hands, arms and other inanimate objects in the room.

Being a neat-freak, I try very hard to keep them wrappers together, but their cling makes it almost impossible.Just thinking about it makes me angry.

After further investigation, I found that the WEP encryption level on my Linksys router was 64-bit and the options on the Airport Express were 128-bit, 40-bit and Transitional WEP Settings.

The solution was to use the 40-bit encryption option, even though my Linksys router’s encryption was set to 64-bit. Works like a charm now. Booya.

  4. Cracked wrist support edge plastic

Each time I brought the computer in for these issues, the Genius (tech support) immediately smiled and admitted my machine for warranty-covered repair. Always renew your Apple Care. If you stumbled upon this blog and have not renewed it, consider it a lesson learned. Just go a few days before your computer’s one year birthday and spend the money to renew.

After reading around online, I ended up attempting a restore, which lost a bunch of data the first time around.  It did fix the problem, so I didn’t really care that much.  The other day the same problem happened- so I pushed off restoring because I didn’t want to deal with it, let alone lose any data.

I had recently purchased software called MegaPhone for iPhone and iPod Touch which helps you retrieve photos and other content from an otherwise inaccessible iPhone or iPod touch.  Using this software, I was able to view all data files on my iPhone and navigate to the /DCIM folder and deleted all three folders within the directory.  This immediately fixed the poroblem and I was able to re-sync my old photos.

As you can see in my previous post, the software is relatively inexpensive and has saved my ass more than $20 worth since I purchased it.

There are a few reasons why this new feature not revolutionizes digital and personal relationships, but completely owns your face- and all of our faces.

I don’t know about anyone else, but Facebook, in and of itself, really helped me get in touch with people from high school, middle school and even elementary school who I never would have spoken to again.

Over the years, Facebook has not only allowed us all to reconnect with these people via messages and wall posts, but they even created a semi-creepy news feed feature for us to spy on our friends!

With the release of Facebook Chat, Facebook has turned our grade school and college acquaintances into real people, online RIGHT NOW. You’re not only looking at news feeds anymore, you’re looking at these people real-time!

Many of my Facebook friends aren’t my friends in real life or on AOL Instant Messenger, so seeing them online and being able to chat with them truly brings my online network to an entirely new level.

I wasn’t really concerned because I had a Time Machine back up- unfortunately, it was almost three months since my last Time Machine sync.

Before I get too into this, I’d like to make it clear that my iTunes was configured to sync the last 12 months of iPhoto pictures. Facing almost three months of missing photos, I was determined to find a way to access the missing photos on my iPhone.

I spent a while googling for solutions and it took me a few pages to find my solution:

MegaPhone for iPhone and iPod Touch lets you access photos, music, notes and other data from your iPhone and iPod Touch. You can not only easily drag and drop photos, galleries and notes, but you can recover your music quickly and easily.

For anyone who experiences the following related problems, I hope you can find this software useful if you want to:

  • Restore photos from your iPhone or iPod Touch
  • Restore music from your iPhone or iPod Touch
  • Restore notes from your iPhone or iPod Touch
  • View or export your call or SMS history from your iPhone
  • Store files on your iPhone or iPod Touch

The most important of which is my new dog, Burger. Burger is a pure bred English Bulldog and is currently four months old. We frequent Fleet People’s Dog Park in Winter Park, Florida on weekends and occasional week days.

On a more professional note, Alex and I have been doing a lot of public speaking. We’ve spoken at the University of Florida, Florida International University, St. Marks Episcopal School, Edgewater High School and we’ll be participating keynote speakers at the 2008 Extreme Entrepreneur Tour Appalachian State University date.

We have also been posting a ton of advice blogs in the AKT Insider- check it out!

You could imagine my dismay when I touched all around my iPhone while it rang and noticed when I applied pressure towards the top of the iPhone, that the noise stopped and began again when I released. I am now on hold with AppleCare and will post more information as it becomes available.

Update @ 2:30 PM – Taking it for a “Genius” appointment tonight, I’ll also be bringing my Black Macbook with a flickering backlight and/or dimmer- should be fun!

Update @ 9:22 PM – Met with the Geniuses- apparently it’s a common problem with the vibrating mechanism. They ordered me a replacement and will swap my phone out for free. Also, they ordered a new inverter cable and inverter “board” for my Macbook to fix the flickering back light.

Update @ 11:38 PM Wednesday the 12th – iPhone replaced at another Apple store that had an 8GB in stock. It’s nice not to have vibration instead of buzzing.

Update @ 12:32 AM Monday the 17th – So, for all of those people who have stumbled onto this blog because of the weird rattling, vibration plastic iPhone noise, rest assured that Apple representatives know EXACTLY what this is. As soon as I told them my problem, they shook their heads, laughed and held the iPhone to their ear and shook it. It was only moments after that, when they grabbed another iPhone from the back and swapped ‘em out.

This might actually motivate me to post more content. On a lighter note, I’ve posted my corporate biography from the AKT site.
