Well, the big announcement we all (at least I did) expected happened yesterday afternoon at the WWDC Conference. iPhone 3G, slimmer, GPS, Better Audio, etc etc etc.
Its great that the phone will finally be coming to Canada, at such a great a great price, however… The phone is still lacking some key features I was looking for, specifically: a better camera, and 32gb storage.
I’ve currently got an 8gb iPhone with a cracked screen, and although the glass is ugly, it works great, and can get by for now with only 8gb storage. So, for this reason, i’m going to be waiting on this “1st generation 3G iPhone”. Its going to be worth it, as i’ve seen it in the past (many times), Apple updates products shortly after they’re released, with a new revision… So, heres hoping we’ll be seeing a 32gb version very soon after the initial launch of the phone!!
We all know its coming, the 2nd Gen iPhone will be released this week, and I want nothing more than to get it. My experiences with my 1st gen iphone in Canada has been nothing more than awesome. Its really a great phone, and although it may not be for EVERYONE - I think it does fill a certain market - that is, people who dont need/want a blackberry, and for people who love to carry their ipods around with them.
I’m certainly one of those people, If I didn’t have my iPhone right now, i’d be forced to carry around a phone + an ipod. This wouldn’t be the most horrible thing in the world, but, its just so much more convenient to have them both in one. Thats not even counting the functionality from the browser, email, contacts, games, MSN, Twitter, text messaging, photos. etc etc.
This is my iPhone 2.0 wishlist/speculation list
Thats about it, pretty easy, and nothing really out of the realm of possibility. Either way, i’m going to be buying this phone, and will hopefully be able to enjoy some of its new features here in Canada.
I’m doing a bit of housecleaning in preperation for when I finally get to the point where I can start building a new layout for this site… its much needed, the categories on this site were pretty messy and not really used correctly… Oh joy, i get to go through 200 posts and recategorize tehm! :S

People say that you dont actually really become something until you actually start to think like that person would… Does this make sense? Maybe i’m making it up.
Recently i’ve been going through a really big shift in the way im thinking about job/life/play. It probably has a lot to do with my shift into the “working world” of a 9-5 job with a salary, benifits, and responsibilities. But i’ve also been shifting into the mode of thinking of myself as a musician.
Something i’ve always found funny is that people, a lot of the times, throw around such a title so easily, even though, they’ve never really accomplished anything in the music world.
As I said, i’m going through a shift right now, and Its mainly due to the potential I have to get into it professionally. With this in mind, i’ve started to take practising a little more seriously now. I’ve been practising on my own for an hour or two a day, trying to build up my chops. Also, i’ve finally jumped and put togeather a small (but decent) recording setup, including a keyboard.
Keyboard/piano is something i’ve wanted to learn for some time now, and finally taking an honest swing at it now is really feeling great. Learning something new musically isn’t something i’ve done for some time now, and I can definately feel it expanding my boundries, and listening skills.
