I just finished watching the season finale of Weeds and couldn’t help but notice this huge iPhone fail! I can’t believe someone on set or even the people who edited this episode together didn’t notice this. Maybe they did and decided to ignore it because it’s probably not worth it, but it is definitely hilarious!

I was on Spin.com earlier and an article titled ‘Adrian Grenier & Honey Brothers Pick 5 Bands to See This Summer‘. I recognized Adrian Grenier’s name because he plays Vince on Entourage and thought that maybe this was a friends band but it turns out that he is the drummer.

It’s been almost a month since my last post and I’ve been to lazy to write anything. So with that said I’ll just point out a few things that have recently happened. VFest this year was great! Except for the idiot that tackled Noel during Oasis’ set. The Foo’s were amazing and Flav & Enrico danced with bushes!

I finished reading Motley Crue’s The Dirt and came to conclusion that those guys are fucked up! The amount of stuff they did was insane! If you haven’t read it you should, it’s an entertaining read. Since I’ve finished that I’ve started reading the biography of Nirvana. It’s written by a journalist who was with them when they were coming up in the scene. So far its pretty good.

I also just bought Rock Band 2, which is amazing so far. I didn’t wait for the whole kit (drums, guitar & mic) because I bought the drums from the first Rock Band for $40 (barely used). Can’t wait to get home and play them!

I can’t really think of anything else that’s happened, but a few upcoming concerts should have you coming back for more.

Until then I leave you with this. Enjoy…

About two weeks ago I wrote about my troubles with my iPhone and last week I told you that it was getting repaired. Well today i’m going to tell you that all is back to normal with my iPhone it turned out that my communications board needed to be replaced. I picked it up on Friday afternoon and have been using wifi on it non stop! I’m writing this post on my iphone using the worspress app in apple’s app store. Everything is working great and 2.0 has it advantages & disadvantages. One of the disadvantages is that it gets a tad slow at times and a simple restart of the phone should slove that. Anywho I just wanted to give an update on my situation.

So last week I wrote a blog about my iPhone troubles and whether I should get it fixed or buy the 3G one. Well I decided to get it fixed and brought it to irepair on Saturday. I got there and explained my situation and was told that it would need a hardware test to see whats wrong. I gave them my necessary info and I was off. After about 30mins from returning home I get a call from irepair telling me that they fixed my phone and it was now working. Sweet i thought! It had to do with the modem firmware. I go back to pick it up and anxious to try it out at home. I get home rush downstairs and plop myself next to the wireless router, turn wifi on, wait for it to list the networks, select my network, enter the WEP key, wait for it to connect and booom it drops the signal right away! Leaving me with the same situation as i had before. After tinkering around with it and with no success I call them back (5 mins before they closed) and told them what had just happened. They then told me to bring it back in. And thats what I did yesterday. So I am now waiting for their call to let me know what excatly needs to be repaired and how much its going to cost me. Until I get that call I will leave you with this: I miss my iPhone.

For the past month or so I’ve been using an iPhone with no wifi This all started when I was at the Toronto airport waiting for my flight to Amsterdam (then to Switzerland). Anyways my brother and I had about 4 hours to kill before boarding our flight and I decided to check my email. I wanted to bring my laptop but at the last minute I decided not to (which I then regretted), so I pulled out my iPhone turned wifi on and waited for it to find a signal. It found a signal and it connected to it! Sweet I thought, until I hit the home button and my phone restarts! In a confused state of mind, I’m thinking ‘What the F! This has never happened before!’. I tried it a couple of more times and it did the same thing, so I turned wifi off and decided not to worry about it because I was on my way to Switzerland to watch Italy play Romania!

So we get to our hotel in Switzerland and fell right asleep (I didn’t sleep on the flight). The next morning during breakfast I decided to give my phone another shot at this wifi issue since where we were staying had free public wifi. Turn my phone on, wait for it to connect to the cell network, go into settings and turn wifi on and……….restart! Tried it a couple more times, not believing that my phone and be F’ed, and the same result. I finally decided to let it be, enjoy my trip and worry about it when I get back home.

A few days after I got back into the swing of things I did some research and found out that a lot of people had wifi problems if they unlocked their phones using ZiPhone’s method. At that point I’m confused because i didn’t use that method to unlock. One solution that i was hoping would work was to upgrade from 1.1.2 to 1.1.4. Hoping that it would work i turn wifi on and kaboom my iphone blows up in my hands! Actually that was a lie, it just restarted. Getting frustrated at this damn thing because i have no wifi, i also have none of the 20 APPS i had before!

I let it be for almost a week before i tried turning wifi on again and this time not only did it reboot once, it kept rebooting. It was like an endless loop of rebooting.

Thanks to my brother, he found a site (irepair.ca) which fixes all Mac products. I was glad to hear about this and checked out their site and found their locations. Sweet not too far on College Street, then i saw the store hours. They open at 11am and close at 7pm on weekdays, not enough time for me to go before/after work. So my only option would be Saturday, i decided that it will have to be then when i bring it it.

Which then brings use to today. A few days ago a bunch of brilliant guys released software that will jailbreak/unlock/activate 1st gen iphones for the 2.0 firmware (which is what all the new 3G iphones have). Last night i braved the possibility of messing my phone up even more and upgraded to 2.0 without any problems (hoping that it would fix my issue).  After iTunes did it’s job and the whole process was complete, i turned wifi on and poof it connects and it didn’t restart! Sweet i thought until i noticed that it drops the signal right away

So this leaves me with two options: 1) Bring it in for repairs and find out how much it’ll cost to fix -or- 2) Wait for Fido to release a statment that addresses the people (like me) who are not eleigble for an upgrade to a 3G iPhone.

What do i do?

So it’s been over a month since my last post and that’s pretty sad! Since my last post I’ve traveled to Switzerland, watched Italy vs. Romania in Zurich, slept in an airport, somehow broke my iPhone, shaved my head and started playing tennis! Yup I shaved my head and started to play tennis on the same day! I enjoyed playing tennis so much that the day after I went out and bought Top Spin 3 for XBOX 360. So far in my virtual career I’ve made $22 000, I’m ranked 19th, I’ve won one title and have a record of 6-2. In real life its the complete opposite. I can’t beat Age, I have mental lapses during the game and my head burns since I have a shaved head now!

I’ll write about my trip in another post because it deserves its own post. Other random shit that’s going on in my life. The iPhone 3G comes out Friday and like many pissed off Canadians I am not going to buy one, at least for now I’m not! The rates are insane and really not worth it. Us Canadians have pissed off Rogers so much that they released a promotion today (July 9th) that will allow you to add-on a 6GB data plan onto any one of their voice plans which seems more reasonable than 400MB.

Also this weekend is Edgefest. Headlining this years Edgefest will be Linkin Park and Stone Temple Pilots. Not only am i stoked about seeing STP for the first time but also finally getting the chance to see USS live. It should be a fun day @ Downsview Park. Stay tuned for a review of the show come Sunday or Monday (that’s if I don’t get lazy again!).

Anyways that should be it for my rambling so stay tuned for an Edgefest recap, my Switzerland post and me bitching about my iPhone problems!

later!
