My brother in law could not get permission to brew decaf in one of two coffee pots in his office. So he had to bring in his own. Since the office seems to be afraid of decaf, he marked the pot appropriately so no one would accidentally under dose on caffeine.
Apple has responded to news that NBC will not renew its iTunes contract. In a shocker, NBC wanted an eye popping $4.99 per episode, which is up from the $1.99 price that over 50 cable networks have agreed to this fall. As a result, the iTunes Store will not offer any episodes from the upcoming seasons of NBC TV shows.
Being a Apple TV owner and a some what Apple Fanboy, this news first disturbed me. I have to agree with the over all comments on DIGG… that is $&%# you NBC and instead I will find “other” ways to get my NBC and Universal content onto my Apple TC and iPhone.
This one just, well you watch it and you’ll see…

So I needed to call a support group, I called, told them my problem and the tech had to put me on hold for a few minutes. So there I am listening to their hold music for a few minutes. Since I was on the iPhone with ear buds, I thought I would go down the hall to get some coffee.
So walking down the hall listening to music on my iPhone is a common thing for me to do. Another common thing that happens is that you run into people and start conversations. So like I do in most cases like that, I went to pause the music with the in-line switch and microphone on the ear buds. Which worked as designed when you are on a phone call by hanging up on the current call.
I know I can not be the only one who has done this — there must be a name for this sort thing, that does nto include the word idiot.
Seems you can take a head shot of yourself with your cellphone and upload it to simpsonizme.com and get to see what you would look like as a Simpsons Character. Try it out. You can see how handsome it made me look! I had to add the bluetooth headset 
I just discovered “star stories” on youtube. Some of them are NSFW, but defentaly worth checking out while you are at home.
So last week I was in vacation in Seaside Oregon with family. I found my iPhone to be invaluable. I used it to look up information on the web, find the nearest restaurant and directions. The phone did great. Plenty of bars, and Edge was not too bad.
Until I needed the phone number for The Resort at Seaside. I was able to locate it on iPhone Google Maps application no problem. The phone number that Google shows for The Resort at Seaside turns out to be one of the rooms, that was a fun conversation…
“hello.”
“Is this the Seaside Resort?”
“Yes..”
“Can you connect me with room 6699 please?”
“what? we are just one room here…”
You can image how it went from there. So after figuring out that number was no good. I decided to try AT&T’s 411 service for the first time. I asked for the “Seaside Resort by Wydham or Trend West” notice that I called it the “Seaside Resort” instead of “The Resort at Seaside”.
The 411 operator says here is your number. I get a recording saying that the info will be sent as a text message to my phone and then computer voice reads the number off and connects me.
I get connected to the Seashore Resort Motel. OK close enough. I understand the complexity of this problem. So I dial 411 again. Tell the operator that my last call was the wrong number. He does some digging, and says — here it is, and hands me off to the robotic voice again. This time it rings and rings, no answer and I hang up. I have now received two SMS messages. The first one with Seashore Resort Motel. Followed by the second attempt - which turned out to be the “Seaside Moose Lodge #768″ WTF? How could you even confuse the phrase Seaside Resort by Trendwest or Wyndham with the Seaside Moose Lodge #768?
So I call 411 back again. Explain what I am trying to find, this guy spend a little more time and says he can not find anything. At that point I hung up, giving up on 411 and did some searching on the web with the iPhone, found a non-flash web site for the Resort, taped the number with my finger and was connected to the front desk. I’ll know better next time.
So bottom line, Love the iPhone, hate AT&T.
