Here without you...

For a while, I refused to give up.

He can't be gone, I though to myself, He can't leave me like this.

I sit beside his memory day in and day out, hoping that maybe one day he'll come back to me. I have tried numerous methods of distraction, but the more I try to disregard or replace him, the more I realize how much I need him in my life.

 It's was my fault, I have no one to blame but myself.

Being without him makes me feel like I am driving around in circles, finding myself trapped in dead ends.  Without him, I am useless.

The thing I miss the most is the way he lit up when I ran my fingers across his face. It was like magic. It was the fastest way for me to get what I wanted from him.

He was and still is, the first thing I think about when I wake up, and the last thing to cross my mind before I drift off to sleep... I will miss everything he ever shared with me...

But more than anything, I'll miss the music storage capabilities... Rest in Peace iPhone 4... You will be missed...

Today I know what it feels like to be Mr. Charlie Sheen.

WINNING

It is amazing how having confidence in something changes everything. I hate to jump the gun and be happy for myself, but I deserve it!

I woke up this morning and thought to myself, today is going to be a great. I wrote down three tasks the dry erase board behind my door and read them over and over. Reading it, understanding it, and believing it.

So far.. two of my three "to-do's" have gone off without a sitch. I'll have to wait until tonight to see if the rest plays out, I have a great feeling that it will :)

Everyone should try and make a habit of making a to-do list every morning, nothing crazy, just two or three things that they would like to do or happen throughout the day. Being able to accomplish small goals like that really make the day so much smoother :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day Everyone!!!

Phone Photo Challenge

So it all started as a fun night out for a friend's birthday. "Meet us at the bar!" she exclaimed, "It's my husbands birthday!". It's a relatively friendly bar that never gets too packed, but is always filled with good company and great music.  However, this night was not of the norm for our favorite neighborhood pub. There was pounding music with bass you could feel down to your bones. It wasn't until I was mashed against ten different people while trying to order my drink when I realized I was at a Rave. Lovely I thought to myself, I'm surrounded by people on drugs I had never even heard of. 

I figured it was time for a stronger drink. 

"Jack on the rocks please", I practically pleaded to the bartender.  Megan, (my knight in shining armor) made my drink quickly and waved away my money when I offered to pay. I gulped down half the glass and shook my head. "Hey!", she yelled from across the bar, "If you can't beat 'em....?!" 

A smile crossed my face as I realized she was right. Looking around the room I searched for a way to embrace the chaos around me. (Without going near the drugged out hippies) I felt two words escape my lips as I transformed into a 5 year old.

What an awesome night. :)

Heart Challenge

Hi! This is my first week with I Heart Faces. My Aunt Irela Cueto Palumbo (find her blog!--http://myphotographiceyebyirela.blogspot.com/) inspired me to join in on all the fun!

GOOGLE TV!

    
On the second day of the Adobe MAX concert, all the conference attendees were presented with there very own GOOGLE TV logitech hardware. Google TV is said to be released on November 5th 2010 and the attendees would receive it by mail 2 to 3 weeks after. Google TV allows the user to simultaneously browse the internet and watch television at the same time. To view a demo of this product, click here: Google TV Site

      Using a keyboard with a built in mouse pad, the user can type something into the search bar and be instantly provided with a list of websites, channels and internet videos that relate to that particular topic.

Adobe MAX 2010 Conference

           Every year, Adobe hosts a conference of epic proportions in Los Angeles, California. The conference consists of three days of events, giveaways, celebrity appearances, and the latest updates in their software programs. This year Adobe introduced the new Adobe AIR update. This program is for any developers that wished to find an easier way to develop and design their games along the three major platforms of technology: Computers, Tablets, and Mobile Devices.


        Now instead of having to create specific code for each different platform, Adobe air will automatically generate the code needed for each device. Needless to say, the developers were cheering louder than a little girl at a Justin Bieber concert.

Flash vs. No Flash

 

When the very first iPhone came out, it completely revolutionized the cellphone industry. But it seems that through the years, other companies are now not only catching up with the technology, but surpassing it in some areas.  There has been a lot of controversy as to why exactly the iPhone has yet to add Flash capabilities to it's software. 

The first theory I have heard was that it does massive damage to battery life. Anyone that has been sucked into a game such as Angry Birds, Words with Friends, or Messenger apps (that LOVE to run in the background) can fully understand the importance of battery life. If these smaller applications drain that much battery, what will running a flash application be capable of? 

The second is the Apple App store. By allowing the flash platform for the websites, it would eliminate the need to purchase the application from a store, which will prevent developers from making any revenue.

New DROID 2

                       

The crowded theater fell completely silent before erupting in excited cheers. Christy Wyatt, the Corporate Vice President of Software and Services Product Management at Motorola Mobile devices, became a quick crowd favorite as she announced that everyone in attendance would receive a complimentary DROID 2 device. 

     The new DROID device comes with a high quality camera as well as a camcorder capable of recording at 20fps (frames per second). With almost every aspect of this phone totally customizable, it's easy to see why this was an instant crowd favorite. Adobe made it clear that this was to be a must have piece of technology for any developer and/or consumer.

Blackberry Playbook announced at Abobe MAX

     At the Adobe MAX 2010 conference in Los Angeles, California we were fortunate enough to witness the unveiling of the new Blackberry Playbook tablet. Pre-loaded with a number of applications and games, the 4,000 developers in attendance were eager to get their hands on one.
 
  Unfortunately, only the Adobe employees received a free Playbook, but it was definitely motivation for the rest of us in the crowd to run to the nearest store for our own toy---I mean, device. Blackberry hopes to finally give Apple's "iPad" worthy competition by releasing a tablet that supports flash based gaming and applications.

     Developers were also excited to hear the news of the release of Adobe AIR, which would allow them to create games from any flash enabled device such as the Android 2, Blackberry Playbook, and Google television.
