iPads Now Shipping Within 24 Hours (Short Post)

Image via Wikipedia

Apple has finally caught up with the high demand of the iPad and are now producing enough to promise
iPads to ship within 24 hours after ordering. This is wonderful but how long will this promise keep. With a product as sexy as the iPad you can expect the demand to rise with the new greater availability. Now that people don't need to worry about waiting an extra week to get the darn thing. That being the case I hope that Apple realizes this and exponentially ups productivity to match the demand.

World of Warcraft, Jobs and Akinator

Image via Wikipedia

I am so close to getting this job at Five Below. I may get it this week. It's my birthday very soon and I got World of Warcraft. It is very addicting, I havent blogged since I got the trial account some weeks ago. Now I cant stop playing it. My farm probably looks like junk! Cafe World is probably knee deep in moldy grills and ranges by now.
Yesterday I found out about Akinator.com, an amazing Twenty Questions style game that can guess any character from anything ever with the utmost accuracy. It got The Milkman a delusion of a character in a game called Psychonauts. It easily got IG-88, the bounty hunter droid from Star Wars. The most awesome thing about the site is that It is hosted by a freaking genie. So check it out and be amazed.

Blazing Wyvern

My family recently started playing Dungeons & Dragons again, which got me in the mood to draw some cool things. Today I drew a deadly blazing wyvern. A wyvern is sort of like a flying bug-dragon-lion thing. I gave it spines that come out of its wings so that it can impale any enemy it encounters. The head is a dragon of the traditional chinese shape.  A chinese dragon has a head similar to that of a wolf and commonly has whiskers and a beard. Occasionally it has a trailing mane as I drew as flames in this sketch.

Yesterday's Events

A picture is worth a thousand words. This is my first photo-blog post. Yesterday I went malling with my girlfriends. We had a great time. They got some clothes for school. I found that I look good in a dress. Perhaps I have a future in drag. We are a crazy few, me and my friends. I look fabulous! 

Google Wave Cancelled: Is This the End Of The First Ever Tidal Wave?

Some of you may know that Google has discontinued the Wave project. There may be some confusion on my plans to keep this site afloat. There is good news however.  As Google is a pro-open-source company the truth is that although Google Wave is lost the Tidal Wave experiment is not.
Google has in fact posted the source files as a free download and open source product for developers. I will in fact be able to do much more with the site. I have downloaded the source and will be implementing widgets and other items as I experiment with the source. There will be a tab for members that allows you to view applications under development. As work progresses the website will become much more interactive.
If you are not a member you can join on the sidebar of the blog. At this point I have only just downloaded the source and it will be months before major features take effect. I highly suggest that you subscribe if you are interested in the project. If you have any ideas send me an email entitled [yourName]"Tidal Wave Idea" i.e. Bob Tidal Wave Idea.  I will send emails to members about the progress on the site.

Jailbreak Me

Finally there is a jailbreak for iOS4. It is an untethered jailbreak that works through Mobile Safari.
 It is a free site that quickly jailbreaks your device. It is well designed as well. the site looks like the lock screen and it say slide to jailbreak on the slider. Once you do so and it does its thing you're done. Thats it, I didn't even have to sync first ( I recommend you back up your files though).
I have been playing with my ipod since this morning and right now there are not many iOS4 supported jailbroken apps so download at your own peril as with all jailbreaks. Visit JailbreakMe.com on your iphone or ipod touch to jailbreak your device.
