Morning McFly!

Dear Youthful Joe,

Thank you for taking the time out of our day to read this note from 2010.  I know it's really fun to go to a bunch of concerts, play loads of video games and see the latest and greatest movies with your friends.  I write you this letter in hopes to curb your irresponsible spending and implore you to listen to your parents.  You see, I could really use all that money you're wasting.  Please continue to have fun, as the memories are priceless.  However, some also come with a hefty price-tag.  Cheap fun is still good fun.

Regards,

Joe Truesdale (Future You)

PS - Don't attach a dog leash to your friend's bike and ride your roller blades behind it.  It doesn't end well for us.

Here Comes the Green Hornet

This is the new trailer for The Green Hornet that's coming out in January.  When I first heard that Seth Rogan was going to play the title role, I'll admit that I groaned a little bit.  But after seeing this, I'm starting to warm up to the possibilities.  The trailer has some neat style, and I'm certainly glad that Cameron Diaz wasn't more prominent.  I guess come January, we'll find out if the movie has any sting.  Ha!  See what I did there?  With the whole sting thing?  Like hornet?  Moving on...

iOS 4 is Finally Here!

As an iPhone 3GS user, I've been looking forward to the new update to the operating system (now named iOS) for awhile now and I'm happy to say that it released earlier today!  A lof the changes in functionality are subtle, but the two big ones that I (and countless others) have been clamoring for are mutlitasking and folders.

The multitasking allows users to have multiple apps running at the same time, whereas before only one app at a time could be open and running.  The folers allows a more streamlined experience in which apps of like functionality can be grouped together to remove clutter.

Unfortunately the launch happened after getting to the studio, so my impressions will have to come on another day, but what are your thoughts?  Do you own an iPhone or iPod, and if so, are you as excited about the update as I am?  Does this update finally push you over the edge to go out and purchase one?  Let me know!
