Dvnt Technologies

well first of all I was not at the keynote. but in my infinite want of needing to know more I kept up with the keynote on when all was said and done about 6 websites. one was a twitteresc search live update, it was not keeping up with what  I was needing it had to go. the other one that went fairly quickly was cnet.com it just seemed not to be keeping up so well. the big 3 i kept up on the f5 updates were crunch gear ARS technica and engadget. for audio until it went out I was listening to Chris.parillo’s live feed.

Now i will admit i am not a huge mac fan-boy, but i do enjoy the platform and style. and with some of the new things they are doing with the software and hardware are nice. the new box packaging of iLife, iWork, and leopard for $169 and is shipping later this month. this is great, why you may ask is that unlike Microsoft the software is reasonably priced as well as more features than Microsoft offers. some of the other cool things with the iLife are the photo tagging and geotagging that can upload to facebook as well as flickr. another thing that caught my attention is that it has facial recognition to help you organize your photos into albums by people.

The new mac-book that was shown today is another I want one moments for me. the battery can last up to 8 hours as well as has two integrated graphics cards. the new battery was custom designed and uses custom shaped cells. as well as adaptive charging technologies. 

well one last thing as I wrap this up id that iTunes now not only is going DRM free but, the music store now works over 3G. what does this mean it means you can buy music on your iPhone and sync to your computer. I know not every one may be impressed with these announcements but I think they are kick. let me know what you think in the comments.

well my trip has taken me back to north Florida so I am back in Jacksonville. My hope is to not stay here too long and get the funding to move on rather quickly. I may try and start writing a lil more soon while I have the chance, I have just been not really writing lately. I will mindmap and get some topics together and will have a nice post next week. I may also post on the trouble I had getting os X  on my HP. well that is all for now peace

well not to much to say really, still in G-ville and looking for work. will make a better post later

12:45 got on the first bus of the first major trip of my life. leaving St. Augustine and heading to Gainsville FL. the first hour of the bus trip was uneventful as most of the sites I have already seen  in day to day travel. That means I will not bore you with a drone of the trees. I will say thou that I was listining to DJ Spyhunter’s powder breaks.

 As we made our way to the bus station in Daytona the urban explorer in me saw a building and the first thout was “uuuu pretty”. When the building did not stop I thougth evan more how I wanted to have the time to look around inside the building, when I saw the sign that said AT&T I knew why I wanted to be in that building. In the time we spen in this stop I had witness to a man praying to Mecca, it was a wonderis and beautiful site. Needless to say I was touched deeply by this show of devotion to ones religion. before leaving the daytona station heading to Orlando this man was on my bus, I shook his hand and said “respect”. 

In Orlando I had a 3+ hr wait for the next bus I changed to anothe DJ Spyhunter track on my Zune and watched the scenery pass by. on the open road you see the trees but as you come in to the citys you see the architectur new and old. in the hour that each leg has taken me I have seen some things that could only be described as beautyful. pulling off the highway and onto Colnial Dr. in orlando I perked up I knew where I was. I stated to another passanger that I used to buy some of my records right down the road. looking around the sights of this main road in Orlando showed me what I like about big citys but that is not the only reson I travel. I travel for me and me alone. I travel to see the sights that otherwise I may never see.
when I finnaly arived in orlando I walked through the bus station and had a smoke. standing outside and talking to an older man I see the poverty that can ride the bus and I feel sorry for them. finishing my smoke and heading inside to find a place to sit I start chatting with a  designer named Dan we talked about design and graphic work.I was much inspiered from his and my talk. all to soon his bus was loading and he had to leave. I still had about 2 and a half hours to wait for my connecting bus to leave so I started to walk around and have short conversations with many people.  I was able to grab two seats and spread out a little bit but when a new passanger boarded I moved over as to let her sit down.
she and I had a littlebit of small talk and she decided to take a nap.

After about an hour we hit Ocala where a few people departed and the lady sharing my seat moved as to let me spread back out. 20 minutes later we stoped at a reststop, grabed a quick bite to eat, and a smoke. and after about another hour we finally made it to Gainsville.
all I can say is that for my first experiance on a Greyhound was pretty intresting. As of right now I am typeing this at a starbucks at 11:16 at night reflecting on my experiance and all the more knowing why I am doing this trip. I know that this is just another experiance that is now added to my book and it reminds me that it was worth it…
