DownhereFilms

I will be working on a long needed upgrade to my blog software, so there might be intermittent down times throughout the morning.

For along time, those of you that know me know that I don’t like Apple.  I don’t like their business model, or the way they make a couple of good products and then try to push out some crappy products for way to much, but they know people will buy it thanks to the Apple name and hype.  This is always something I have been extremely adamant about. But…I have come to a point where I realize arguing over pointless things and bashing Apples, and in part thier users I have hurt relationships, and stopped new ones from forming.  I will no longer avidly go against everything Apple. I will try to have an open mind about everything. However this does not mean I will be using an Mac anytime in the near future, nor will I for the most part recommend Apple products to my friends.  My goal is to recommend and support the best product I see fit for the individual.  This may be a Mac or Apple product, but more than likely not, I will always lean to the more versatility of hardware that has a choice. However I hope this will broaden my view, and when I make a recommendation not to buy the $99 Airport, and instead buy a 50 dollar, better equivalent, you will know I am not being biased I am trying to give you the best deal for what you need.  I am looking out for your best interest.

The dive was great, it was a little chilly but it was a really neat experience that I would not have passed up.  Here is a video and pictures from Billy.

So my older sis got married yesterday.  It was a lot of fun.  She looked really beautiful, and She(her hubby) didn’t look half bad either.  So now all the Merritt kids are married, well…shes a Vosler now I guess.  I’m diving tonight, at the Sheradon I’ll make sure to get some pictures up soon.

Going on a night dive next week out in the Gulf to a wrecked boat called the Sheradon.  I have dived this wreck before its pretty cool.  Its 60 feet at the top of the boat, and 80 feet at the bottom.  I will be sure to post some pics from Billy and Videos from Tyler.  Stay updated.

I got a T-Mobile G1 on friday, it is apretty awesome device. It runs the Android Software by Google, and I am really enjoying it. It runs really quickly on 3g and has a really smooth capacitive touchscreen. The thing I was most skeptical about was the keyboard, as I wanted a full touchscreen phone, but I tell you what the keyboard is awesome. I am posting this message from my phone, so hopefully many nore post to follow in this same fasion.

I would like to take a moment to plug DD-WRT.  This is by far the best software on the market for wireless G routers.  By market I mean free, by the way.  It allows you way more control than the standard software on your router ever could. They make a range of versions to fit almost every router on the market.  You should go check them out.  DD-WRT

I need a new job.  I am sorely missing my the income a job provided.  And I would like to see that again.  For the .5 of you who view this if you know of any opening in the Orlando area please let me know.  Laterz.
