Got an iPod Touch for my B-Day

Lots of my friends at work have been getting the iPhone and that little gadget kicks butt. The only problem is I have not been totally sold on spending the extra money for the data plan. When Apple announced the iPod touch I was sold. My wife got me one for my B-Day and I can't put it down. One of the coolest features is the wifi internet access. It has all of the awesome features of the iPhone, except the phone and camera of course, and I don't have to jack up my cell phone bill to carry it. Hopefully ATT will come up with a better plan for the iPhone and I can pass my iPod off to the little woman and get the iPhone. Until then, I will be looking for new things to use the iPod touch for. (favorite use so far, makeshift flashlight to see into the back of my closet).

For those that don't know me, I am incredibly.... practical (translation cheap) when it comes to recurring bills. If there is something that I don't have a need for, I have a hard time spending the extra cash. I don't have a data plan for my phone now, so that is why it is tough for me to justify the iPhone. Solution, iPod touch.

Blogging in the new year

I finally got a blog setup out on the interwebs. I am a software engineer and have been blogging at work for quite some time, but it has been internal. I thought it might be a good idea to start getting some stuff down in a more open forum. Hopefully this goes well.

Happy new year to everyone out there. Good luck in 2008.
