I try to be techy, try to having things that ease my life, and just make things more fun. I have bluetooth headphones, but wish Apple included bluetooth in their ipods :( I have a Windows Mobile 5 phone with bluetooth and use that in conjunction with my headphones to do handsfree calls when I’m driving. I still want a GPS bluetooth receiver so i can map out new places in a hurry instaed of looking for a nearby address and writing it down in the phone. I’d love to change out the stereo head unit and air controls in my car for a completely digital control unit that recognised my phone over bluetooth and sets my air controls, radio/ipod play settings, etc to my settings. can use my phone to download the weather and control the air accordingly. to take my calls wirelessly and play them over the car speakers, while a mic sits in my instrument panel for my voice.  I want my laptop to sit in the passenger ceat and record my driving stats, accelerating, braking,  MPG, trip and odometers, and maintenance records.

Then again, maybe I just dream really big

Just an hour ago, I got back to Erin’s with a brand new WD pocket drive, 320GB of protable goodness! I immediately .RARed all the software/crap that came with the drive and started encrypting it with Truecrypt, the whole drive, and of course I used a password of atleast 20 characters and a few keyfiles to shake up that hash, over all i think this will be good. give me a chance to save all my stuff from dissapearing! Now i’m off to 43folders.com to find out what to name my 43 folders!

I just finished watching Andrew Keen give an interview during lunch at Mahalo HQ. It was very interesting and informative, and I am glad i was able to watch it.  I Agree with his ideas that we need to evolve from web2.0 where it seems like a lof of the user created content is rarely credible, or reliable for authentic information. I think there is nothing wrong with elitism and we need more people to want to have more accurate information because over all, accurate information is going to beat out fast information.
