With all the massive hyper over the iPhone debuting today in the states, I thought I would take stock of my own albeit limited apple fanboy-ism.

I am the proud owner of two iPods (3g and 5g) and a ton of different accessories.  I wouldn’t switch for anything and to be honest I really wish I could get a macbook.  Furthermore, if the storage space ever gets beefed up enough I would love to get an iPhone, but on Verizon since there network is far from perfect, but the closest that we have to perfect.

So as you can tell I am no big time apple fan boy but I do love the company as they just seem to put a lot more effort into what they do.

However I do use iTunes everyday, for probably hours on end and in taking stock of how much I love apple I noticed one interesting little tidbit.

I bought three tracks the other day (The 13th Floor Elevators “You’re Gonna Miss Me”, Stevie Wonder “I Believe”, and Green Day “Working Class Hero”) and in doing so I reached the 4,000 tracks mark in iTunes.  If you’re wondering no that does not fill up my entire 30 gb iPod not by a long shot. It does however give me 9.2 days of music or 14gb.

Now that’s a lot.

So somehow my extra credit was lost by my school’s online class system, yet I still got an A in the course.  How weird is that?

On one hand I didn’t get credit but it turns out I didn’t need it, so I guess I’m feeling meh about it?

So yahoo, you don’t let me uninstall you as a whole so I have to kill each individual program.  Then you fuck up my firefox so I have to take time to fix my default search.   And I was just starting to warm up to you, I mean google is spying on me basically, and you have some of my favorite services like flickr, del.icio.us and others.  But no you had to ruin it by fucking up my copy of messenger with what amounts to unwanted spyware.  So thank you, I will fix my stuff and go back to google, except for those services you have that I like.  I can be won back though, so please try.

Thanks to FARK.com, I added nearly 100 videos from youtube to my youtube favorites.  They are mainly from the 80s, 90s, and 00s, but theres a lot of nice stuff there so check it out.

If you check out my last.fm account today you might notice one thing, or more appropriately one band.  For some reason today I have reconnected with a huge part of my teenage years, that being the band Nirvana.

I never lost touch with the band as the music had and still has a huge impact on me but my interest had waxed and waned in many respects in the last few years.

It’s comforting to know that even after all these years cranking these songs up can still have the same joyous impact.

Now if only I could play the guitar that Kurt inspired me to get, a jag-stang is way too nice to not be played sometimes.

I thought about listing here some of my all time favorite Nirvana tracks and honestly theres too many to mention.  Right now I have sappy, territorial pissings, and scentless apprentice in my head….

someone explain this picture to me please.

UPDATE: I saw this a few hours later so yeah explain this to me to.
