The Reclusive Geek

Hi.

2011-08-15T02:00:00.002-05:00

Hey, guys... I'm sorry about what this blogs become. It had potential, and I had homework... Anyways, I've stopped being so involved with Apple, and, technology itself. I was a very well known geek, and now I'm considered dead to the community. This is my official apology. Please visit my YouTube channel, where I am much more active, so if you wish to contact me, for any reason, that is where I will most likely read it first.

Anyways, back to what I have been up to. Since, this is a blog, not a website... I haven't really been doing anything productive, at all. I very closely passed 7th grade, with mostly D's and F's. That's just unfortunate. It was all my teachers fault. End of subject.

So, yeah. I'm sorry I haven't been active. I'm not promising more activity, nor am I promising that I care about this blog, to be honest... I'm literally not involved with technology, at all. Sorry.

Bye.

MacBook Air 11"? Yes, please!

2010-10-27T19:54:00.002-05:00

Hi everyone! I'm sorry I haven't been posting much lately, but I'm gonna try harder because, well, I'm just gonna try harder. But anyways, Apple has announced a ton of stuff lately. Such as: a MacBook Air 11" and a new 13", Mac OS X Lion, and even Mac OS X Snow Lion, because they found a security problem in Lion. :P Okay maybe no Snow Lion, but someday when it snows in Africa, I'll be victorious. :P There are also a ton of rumors floating around that Apple's gonna be releasing a lot of new stuff. Such as: 7" iPad, Verizon iPhone, and more! I know, that's only 2 rumors, but they both are awesome! Anyways, there is also a lot of non-Apple technology rumored, or officially, gonna be released. Such as: Playstation Phone, Android Gingerbread (3.0), Windows Phone 7 (but who cares?), and, last but not least, Call of Duty: Black Ops (which I'm excited for a newer Treyarch game) and probably alot more stuff that I'm unaware of. :P So anyways, that's about it. Follow me on Twitter! Happy Halloween bitches! :P

Another big day for Apple.

Ever noticed how Apple likes to announce their new devices all at once? Hmm, funny. Anyways, today Apple announced a bunch of new fun, and, to sum it up, they announced an iPod Nano with a multi-touch touch-screen, an iPod touch with FaceTime, HD camera (on back), iPod Shuffle, iTunes 10 (awesomer than it sounds :P), and iOS 4.1. Now, I gotta go for now, but I won't forget to include some links to the Apple pages for each update.

Any new hope for a Verizon CDMA iPhone?

2010-08-17T16:54:00.002-05:00

There may be more hope for the Verizon customers out there! Some sources over at Daring Fireball have found out some key information about a CDMA iPhone. Read this post from AppleInsider: "Jon Gruber of Daring Fireball said Wednesday that "a few little birdies" told him that a CDMA variant of the iPhone is just two steps away from production. According to the report, the device is in the EVT (engineering verification test) phase, one step below DVT (device verification test)." Does this mean that we will have a Verizon iPhone in the works ready to be released next year? Or is this just another rumor - there hasn't been any shortage of that! You can read the entire post over at AppleInsider here, or read the original post here. Enjoy!

Review: BoothDroid for Android

2010-08-14T19:45:00.002-05:00

As far as DailyBooth apps for Android goes, the only real player in the game is BoothDroid. Mainly, BoothDroid is just a helpful little bit of software in our lives that sends our chosen image to our DailyBooth account without us even having to open the browser. But since thats the highest any Daily Booth Android app has gone, it has the privilege to be called an "app" and be in the Android Market with 3 1/2 stars. But to tell you the truth, it really doesn't deserve that. Matter of fact, I'm almost positive that when DailyBooth develops an app for Android, (which won't take long - they have a great one for iPhone) many Android owners will simply pretend they never heard of this "BoothDroid" app. But come on, lets stop talking crap about. I'm sure there is something there that deserves those 3 1/2 stars. The first thing you see when you open the app is a login page for you to log in to your DailyBooth account. And a couple ads. :P But once you log in, well, you will see a button to either upload an image, upload an existing image, buy DailyBooth Pro, and some more ads. Now of course, the only buttons anyone will ever click is "upload an image" or "upload an existing image" "upload an image" opens up your camera, and "upload an existing image" opens your photo browser. Once you select an image, you can add a description then upload it. That's about it, folks! Enjoy!

How to Set Up a Custom Domain Name on Co.CC

2010-02-17T21:50:00.002-06:00

This is a tutorial on how to set up a Custom Domain for a Blogger blog and a Co.CC account using CNAME and 'A'NAME. Doing this will redirect (YourBlogName).blogspot.com to (YourBlogName).co.cc, and make (YourBlogName).co.cc as the primary blog domain. First of all, go to Blogger.com and log in. Go to Settings > Publishing > Advanced Settings. Then. in a new tab, go to http://www.co.cc/ and set up a domain with one CNAME, and four 'A'NAME's. Your CNAME's host will be www.(YourBlogName).co.cc, and the Value will be ghs.google.com. You will then make four 'A'NAME's. Each with the host being (YourBlogName).co.cc, and the Value being (on the first one): 216.239.32.21 , (on the second one): 216.239.34.21 , (on the third one): 216.239.36.21 , and finally, (on the fourth one): 216.239.38.21. Then return to your Blogger Settings tab, type in www.(yourblogname).co.cc/ into the domain bar, checking "Redirect (YourBlogName).co.cc to (yourblogname).co.cc/" and in about 10 min. - 48 hrs., your blog will be up and running. Once performing this correctly, your blog will be accessable by www.(YourBlogName).co.cc, (YourBlogName).co.cc, (YourBlogName).blogspot.com, or www.(YourBlogName).blogspot.com.

THE MAGICAL IPAD (Parody)

2010-02-13T13:42:00.000-06:00

Thoughts on iPad

2010-02-13T13:13:00.000-06:00

Apple’s iPad was announced at the January 27th Apple Keynote. It was said to be shipped in about 2 months. But until then, all we can do is Google pictures of it and re-watch the Apple Keynote, over and over. But I type to you today to share my thoughts on the revolutionalization of a big iPod touch. So, on that pecimistic note, I shall begin. For one, I think Apple shouldn’t price it so high. $500 (for the cheapest one) is way to much. Yeah, it’s cheap for a Mac, but way too expensive for an iPod touch. You say, well that’s because it isn’t a iPod touch, or a Mac. But that’s just it. It’s a big, slightly modified, iPod touch! Given that’s not the “good” way to think about it, but, I am the one de-assembling my room searching for money. So no matter how revolutionary this product is, well, you get the point. Moving on, some say that this tablet may be the “Kindle Killer”. Well, I think I might have to agree. For the various reasons, of course: 1) It has an LCD screen. 2) It has a touch screen. 3) It has 3G capabilities. 4) It has a Media Player, an Internet Browser, an Email Client, a Calendar, a Note-taking Client, the ability to play games and run Applications, and a VERY complimentary Operating System, not to mention the actual E-book Reader. 5) IT’S MADE BY APPLE! And I think that pretty much raps up that controversy. Also today I will be sharing what model iPad I will be getting. At this moment, I believe I will be getting the 16GB WiFi model. This decision is only determined because for one, it’s not really something that I want to spend that much money on, and two, it’s only it’s first release. Maybe further on in it’s lifetime, I might be able to get my hands on a 3G model, or a 32 or 64GB model, but until then, I’m gonna have to say I’m sticking with the 16GB WiFi model, just like I did with my iPod. :) This has been my thoughts on the Apple iPad.
