Oink Deal.com
Jan 27th
I made a little side project for myself. A new website called Oink Deal. There are about 10 deal sites that I check every day to find out if there is something good and cheap. I thought it would be nice to grab all these deals from several sites and blend them all together. So that is what I did. The deals are updated every 5 minutes with the newest ones at the top.
Check it out and don’t forget to bookmark.

Free Tacos and Dr. Pepper
Oct 22nd
Both Dr. Pepper and Taco Bell have made promises to give everyone in america free food and drink IF. Taco Bell will give everyone one free taco for every base that is stolen during the World Series. In a less likely bet earlier this year Dr. Pepper said they would give everyone in America a free Dr. Pepper if Gun and Roses released an album anytime in 2008. That seemed like a long shot.
Everything is looking up. Guns and Roses have a release date for their new album ‘Chinese Democracy’ and the odds are high that at lease one base will be stolen at the World Series.
SF Wrap-up
Jun 13th
This was my first trip to WWDC and my first trip to San Francisco. The city is really cool. The weather is amazing and if you avoid the tourist places you can have a great time. I spent lots of time just walking around downtown. There are plenty of interesting things that you can stumble upon. I stayed in a poor part of town but I think this worked out ok. I think I saw more of the real San Francisco. The city has a lot of homeless.
WWDC was amazing. It is totally different to hear the software creators explaining how their software should be used. Apple’s vision seems so far into the future. You can see that everything they have been doing in the last few years has been counting on coming technologies. It really sounds like multi core processing is going to keep growing and becoming more efficient.
The bash was surreal. They kicked everyone out of the park and gated it off. Five thousand apple dapples swarm in for hand rolled sushi and wine. After Phil gave a quick speech the Bare Naked Ladies preformed. They laid the apple drops on pretty thick. I guess that is what they are getting paid for.
Digital Billboards Hacked (not hacked)
Mar 25th
10 LA billboards were hacked by a known Graffiti artist. The artist “skullphone” is an 18 year old graffiti artist. He was smart enough to mix his ad in with the normal rotation on the digital billboard. This is what we will see more of, digital graffiti.
Update: The billboards were not hacked. Clear Channel made some money for the ads like usual.
