Got an iPhone! :)

January 1st, 2009 No comments

I got an iPhone from work yesterday.  This phone is really cool.  The place where I work is looking at rolling out 200 of them.  I’m not sure if I’ll load music on it since I already have a 30 GB with all my songs, but I am having fun installing apps.

So does anyone have any cool apps to suggest?

Remote Control Lawnmower

February 12th, 2007 No comments

Now this is something I would really like.  It combines two of my favorite things.  Remote controlled toys and the quest for the perfect lawn (I’m a lawn Nazi) .  It’s the remote controlled Lawn Mower.  This would really work for me.  I could be sitting on my patio, drinking a beer, and cutting my grass at the same time.  Although, I always thought a Roomba hack might work better.  I need the straight lines of a perfectly cut lawn.
