Welcome & Hello!

Ha, it took me 3 post to get to say hello. So, I got my iPhone a few months ago, and finally getting to start using it more and more. I'm also trying to get more organized with my personal and professional life. On top of that, I'm working on improving my time management skill and just myself in general.

In the spirit of improving myself, I felt that sharing my experiences would be a good start. Therefore, I started this Blog. Hopefully, I'll be able to share some of the knowledge that my experiences bring to me. I know, very subjective, and perhaps not much help to anyone. In any case, at the very least, it will serve as sort of a journal of some kind. I should be able to see my posts here and remember what I was doing in the past.

I haven't post any pictures, but I will start soon. Also, I will hopefully get into posting some videos. For now, I'm looking for the best software to be able to post on this and other web sites with my phone. I found and installed, CellSpin. Which lets you post to a few other sites.

One thing I didn't like about CellSpin, was that I had typed a long post, then went back to the main screen on my iPhone, and when I went back to CellSpin, I had to re-type the whole thing. So now I know, I can't quit the application until I send the info. (I did get a call while typing, and that did not cause me to loose my info)

• For posting on Blogs with your iPhone (or other cell phones I believe) try using. CELLSPIN

I'll leave you with that. So thank you for reading, and welcome to the blog.

Thanks for reading,

Making Snow

Last night I was helping a friend on a Christmas horror short. We needed snow, so we talked about spray painting cornflakes white. Then thought about buying that fake snow that you just add water to. But with a styrofoam bounce board that they had picked up at home depot (at the insulation section) we had a much better solution.

We grabbed two pieces of styrofoam and rubbed them together to make snow. I gotta say, it looked great on camera and added a lot of production value.

• So for a bounce, a sheet of styrofoam insulation is a good alternative.
  
• But it's also a good alternative for snow.

Black Friday Eve

Ok, so I stayed up all night in front of Office Depot to get a great deal on a laptop. It's not like I should be spending the money, but with my old computer no longer working (some of you know why, or rather who is the cause. Haha) I was either going to spend some money on my old computer or get something new.

I had looked at the Black Friday deals. And kept eyeing the $350 laptop at OD. When I saw an article on the front page of Yahoo.com I pretty much thought the hype was so much for this deal, that there was no way I was gonna get it.

So I wasn't going to do it, but after heading home from Mom's place at 11:00pm I had to go to the market and decided why not, I'll just drive by. Stopped home, got a second jacket, a soda, and headed to OD. What a Surprise!! Only 7 ahead of me. So, decided to stay. 1/2 an hour into it I thought "man, this is going slow" hahaha. But what I learned was:

• Bring something to sit on.
• Something to read or listen to. (thank god for my iPhone)
• Be friendly to the ones in line with you.
• Bring something to eat and drink, but not too much. Remember there are no bathrooms on the street.
• Don't let anyone cut line or think they can stay in their car while thinking they are in line. (yes, we had a jerk on our line. Lucky was right after me, cus I would not have let him do that)
• And if things don't go your way, voice your opinion and voice it loud.

Hope this helps anyone that might be thinking of waiting in line to buy something the night before.
