Wednesday is Cal Academy's monthly Wachovia free wednesday. We headed to the museum and got there at 830 in the morning. There was already a huge line forming.
We luckily got in during the first batch of people. This was definitely way better than the first free weekend when the Museum first opened.
There were tons of exhibits scattered throughout the museum. The aquarium was my favorite.
There was this huge fish bigger than my boyfriend's torso which could be found on California's coast:
A lot of the shorts I've seen in the stores are really too skanky for my taste. You know, if you bend over, everyone can see your ass cheeks but not many women realize this . I think I'm a little too conservative for that. But I certainly can't wear my dresses going to Lake Tahoe this weekend after my final so I'm going to cut some more shorts from pairs of jeans that are out of style (flare days). I've already made one pair but it's time for more pairs!
My birthday is coming up and my favorite person decided to give me an early birthday present! I finally got a new cellphone and it's a Blackberry! I've been dreaming of a Blackberry ever since my Dad first got one back in 2000.
I'm so in love with this one. Instead of the normal trackball (which gets icky overtime cuz it's the same as the sidekick's trackball) it has a trackPAD. The best thing about this phone is the media player and the dedicated buttons for the music player. I could definitely watch Youtube videos and normal videos now! The phone uses the standard 3.5mm earphones so I used my favorite earphones to listen to my music on the way to class today.
Anyway, this phone is awesome and thank you for Wal-mart for offering it at such a low price! My favorite person bought it for $50! I could probably sell it and make a profit but I love it too much!

One is example is Creative Labs' mp3 players and the Ipods. Creative Labs clearly came out with the touch screen interface for their mp3 players and then Ipods battled it out with their advertisements.
Another example is their ever so famous iPhone. This is how the heated conversation between my brother started. I'm in search for a new phone (I have an HTC wing) and he offered his iPhone to me. I said, "Never!" And he wondered why. I just really hate the fact that Apple advertisements selling their products as "the first [product] to do [this]" when clearly so many products (like Blackberries, HTCs, Nokia, and the famous Sidekick) have released phones that do exactly those things and a lot of them aren't limited to an "app store."
The real reason for their success is their mass market advertisements. They're really entertaining, I must say, but people should know that there are other products out there. Not everyone needs an Apple product.
The quote below is someone who seems to think Steve Jobs is his Messiah. I just thought it was funny when he said that "people who buy from apple are far smarter than the average consumer" and proceeded to have major grammatical and spelling errors. Buying overpriced Macbooks or Ipods when you can buy a PC (any brand) or any brand mp3 player for a cheaper price? hmm...
Besides, everyone's starting to look like drones carrying the same Ipods and Iphones all over the place...
Just my thoughts.
