Nick’s World

I just ordered up a new MacBook Pro last night. I’ve been anti-mac for quite a few years.

* Processor 065-8455 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
* Memory 065-8457 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRM-2×2GB
* Hard Drive 065-8463 500GB Serial ATA Drive@7200rpm
* Optical Drive 065-8466 SuperDrive 8X DL
* Display 065-8668 MBP 15″ Glossy WS Display

So I have been waiting for months and months for the release of the Sirius app for iPhone, and it finally comes out yesterday. So I download it right away, and noticed that I need to upgrade my basic online account to premium to use the app. Not that big of a deal, since now I can listen to Howard on my iPhone, instead of the crappy web interface when I am at work. It would be great to listen anywhere in the office! But just incase, i signup for the 7 day trial first, and find out there is NO howard. I scroll through the list four times and can’t find it. So I google search it and find many articles like this one.. Sirius iPhone App Debuts Without Howard Stern

What a lame movie on Sirius’s part, for like the 30million iPhone users out there, many of which would probably have no problem paying for a Sirius account to listen to high quality music and talk radio online. That seems like it would open up a whole new market for them, but its doubtful people are going to pay that price for what they are currently offering. Hopefully it will change soon!

I <3 these headphones.

The highs and lows are ridiciulous.  It brings new sound to a lot of music, blows my bose headphones out of the water.  Especially considering they broke.

North Korea orders UN nuclear inspectors to leave

hmm, what will happen next….

nothing to write.

Usually I get these True Majority emails that are like blah blah blah, all these bad things that the government is doing. This is the first positive one I have seen, and I agree!

Dear Nick,

In the years I’ve been sending messages to TrueMajority members with ideas for influencing our government, I’ve never written this sentence until now:

Let’s thank the President for what he did for the country today

Standing on the National Mall Tuesday, I was incredibly inspired by President Obama’s inaugural speech. But then I read the news today and saw the promises actually begin to turn to reality, starting with the executive order to close Guantanamo Bay prison camp within the next 12 months. 1

TrueMajority members have been steadfast in calling for America to stick to her core values even during terrorism and war — especially then. President Obama said the same thing during his speech. Now he’s made it official in ordering Guantanamo closed, and we can rejoice.

Thank President Obama for closing Guantanamo Bay prison camp.

Yes, there’s a lot more to do to get America back on the right track, and it’s a sure bet that we all won’t always agree on how to go about it. But this is a good day.

Thanks for all you do,

I am ordering some Girodisc SS brake lines, and a Works SS clutch line.  I am going to ditch the restrictor in the clutch cylinder.

Back from the shop.. New clutch, flywheel, fluids and $1500.00. Back to warp speed.
