Arbitrary Thoughts

June 29th, 2010 - Uncategorized - 6 Comments »

+ I now subscribe to four magazines (pictured below). The sheer pleasure I get from opening my mailbox and seeing one of them in there is worth every penny.

+ I’m fly fishing for the first time today with my Dad and brothers. This is yet another thing to add to the list of things that I, as a 29.9 year old man, have never successfully done. Or you could add it to my shameful Confessions of an Aspiring Man’s Man. Either way.

+ We just got our 2.5 year old an iPod touch off of Craigslist ($90). I know, I know…ridiculous. Read this article before you judge me though. It’s what made me want to do it.

+ I think @sethmeyers21 is batting a thousand when it comes to funny tweets. I wonder if he has a team like Conan, or if they’re all his own creation? FYI: He’s hosting the ESPYs this year.

+ iPhone 4 owners, please weigh-in: Now that I have the iOS4 software on my 3GS, is the upgrade worth it? I mean, are Face Time and an HD camera worth the lines I’ll have to wait in?*

+ My brothers and I were in fierce debate yesterday over the answer to this question: How many lost golf balls are currently hidden throughout an average golf course? Discuss. (Note: We lost a combined 50 yesterday.)

*Who am I kidding? I’m still getting one.

    Fly Fishing is one of my favorite things to do, even though I am terrible at it.
    I would say about 8.3 golf balls per hole are hidden (there would be more if so many weren't picked up by other golfers). This results in an avg of 149.4 golf balls lost per course (not counting balls in the water of course, in which case the number increases 1,247%)

    I'm an apple fanboy so I pre-ordered the IPhone 4 a few weeks ago. My wife is staying with her 3gs so I see both on a daily basis. If I'm completely honest, this may have been a purchase influenced by my regular drinking of the apple koolaid. The phone is sweet, no question. However, I havent even used facetime yet (how often do you and the person you happen to need to talk to, happen to be on wifi?). My biggest reason (other than being a fanboy) for the upgrade was that my 3gs battery sucked. Between a new battery and a much much sharper display, I'm glad I upgraded, although this phone seems more like a polishing of the 3gs and not a must have new product.

    -I ordered the iP4 online and you can have it delivered to your doorstep (which is the option I chose). Saves you the massive headache. Then sell your iP3GS for big bucks online and get *paid* to upgrade (if you qualify for the iP4 reduced rate, which you should).

    -My cousin used to live at a golf course…when I was at his house he had 2 entire trash cans full of golf balls he retrieved from the woods and from when they dredged the pond.
