Isaiah's Tech

I've already told you all about my amazing day [last night] with my girlfriend and today i'm going to wish you all a Merry Christmas Eve! Last night, i played a bit of WoW, just PvP'ing. I slept kind of early, since my girlfriend fell asleep already. This morning i've done pretty much nothing. I've just slacked around, waiting for my girlfriend to wake up. I signed up for a technorati.com profile and claimed my blog on there. Anyways, yes, it's time for my [amazing] post.

I'll start this paragraph off with a quote pulled off of kotaku.com. "iZ3D plan to show off a new line of 3D monitors at next month's Consumer Electronics show. The line-up includes a 22-inch monitor with a custom paint job." This is pretty cool news, but i think that after playing WoW for about the 16th hour of the day [no exaggeration] and seeing it in 3D, would somewhat make me dizzy. Fortunately, you can change the settings to standard 2D mode. These monitors will also cause your regular PC, PS3, Wii and Xbox 360 games to project in 3D by using special software and some [cool] viewing glasses. The price range for these monitors will be about $400 - $550 USD. These models will be shown at CES (Consumer Electronics Show) and i'll talk about it more when that comes around.

Dell has confirmed that they started the Adamo 'leak.' They did this by posting an advertisement on the website uptownlife.net and had a text tagline of "rival the Macbook Air." Dell spokesperson, Bob Kaufman said, "We did this to wake up the personal computing category and create some buzz." Hopefully we'll see more of the Dell Adamo in the upcoming year, preferably, early next year. Watch out Macbook Air, computing powerhouse, Dell, coming through.

This iPhone Nano rumour has not died yet [and probably won't anytime soon]. It started off with leaks of photos revealing a new skin (cover) for the iPhone Nano. Now, there are pictures of the actual product (see left side), in this case, the iPhone Nano. These photos were submitted anonymously, of course, so the pictures may be fake. But, at least you have a look at what it may look like. Surprisingly (insert exaggeration), it looks to me like a small clone of the original iPhone. Everything looks the exact same and it could easily be done in Photoshop. Obviously though, not by me, since my Photoshop skills are terrible. So, macrumors.com states that, "At this point, we have no reason to believe this photo is real and are labeling it a 'concept' design for the sake of discussion and debate." So there you have it, the leaked "concept" photo of the rumoured iPhone Nano.

This morning was pretty much the same as every other morning. But, i did find out last night that i'm gonna be taking a bubble bath everyday this week because the plumber isn't coming back to finish the shower until Saturday! Kind of good news, but today, i actually didn't feel like having one. This morning i had a driving lesson at 10, so i had to wake up kind of early. I woke up at about 8 and i took my bubble bath. I felt the top of the water with my hand and i found it to be quite warm, so i figured that i could step or lie down in it now. When i put both of my feet in the water, it was really hot, but i told myself that i'd be able to take the heat. 5 seconds later, i jumped out of the water because it was just way too hot. My girlfriend was sleeping on the phone at that time, so i couldn't yell because i didn't want to wake her up. After that i made the water a bit cooler, by adding some cold water. Anyways, I was lying / sitting down in my bathtub having my bubble bath, but i was so lazy that i just wanted to get out. I don't know why, but i just felt like standing up and getting out of the tub. Too lazy to sit down? I didn't really know what was going on. Maybe it was my brain sending my body signals because of the recent feet burning that just took place. Well, anyways, i got out of the tub and i put my jeans on. That's when i realized that my feet might have gotten burned a little bit by the water because it hurt when my feet scraped along the edge of my jeans. After about an hour, it hit 10:00 a.m. and i had my driving lesson. Nothing too interesting about that, but i do have my G2 test next Monday, which i am mildly excited for. Wish me luck. Anyways, i went to my girlfriend's house afterwards and i'm going to talk about that later, after this brief intermission.

World of Warcraft has now hit the 11.5 million people mark thingy. Yay, 11.5 million play WoW and, surprisingly, i'm not one of them. Well, currently, i'm not. The new expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, reportedly sold 4 million copies which shattered the previous record in the category of monthly PC-game sales, which was held by World of Warcraft's last expansion, The Burning Crusade. Congratulations Blizzard, but get working on Starcraft 2 please... oh, and announce to the world what new MMO you guys are working on, please and thank you. I'm kind of iffy on whether or not i should play WotLK, but i'll keep you updated.

Anyways, back to the day with the girlfriend, Nikki =D. So, i got to her house at around 1 p.m. and we opened each other's presents =). She opened her presents from me first. I got her Cranium, the board game, and Made of Honor, the DVD. I opened my presents from her afterwards. She got me a 'Famous' t-shirt and a PS2 controller, since i will not be getting the PS3 this Christmas, or ever, i might add. Anyways, i asked for a PS2 controller because i don't play WoW anymore and i feel like casually playing my PS2, since there's just some games i'm dying to play. Thanks babe, for both presents!! About PS2, i am probably going to redo Final Fantasy 10 and definitely going to play Hot Shots Golf 4 again because who doesn't love to hit a -20 on an 18 hole course (I hope someone understands that, and yes, i'm that good). Anyways, thanks [again!] babe =D. I love you. So, we watched the movie i got her, Made of Honor, and it somewhat related to our past, most of it actually. After that it was about 5:30 and me and Nikki decided to open and play some Cranium. After about half an hour of laughing we had to leave for dinner, but she didn't know where we were going =D. Nikki's dad drove us and then he passed by McDonalds and said, "Okay, you guys can get off now." Nikki was freaking out because her dad had been teasing her about me taking her to a drive-thru at McDonalds for tonight's dinner. But, anyways, after all of that, we finally got to the final destination, The Keg. I was extremely happy because Nikki really liked it. Anyways, after our very stuffing meal, some pictures, that guy that couldn't stop staring at her (this 'guy' actually goes to my school, but i don't know his name), we had to leave, since we were finished. Nikki fell asleep on my shoulder on the car ride home... someone had itis (urbandictionary.com it, if you don't know the meaning). Yes, so that was my amazing day, Christmas dinner with the girlfriend, whom i love very much. Thanks for everything babe. I love ya =).
