Crap You Don't Know, And Don't Need To Know: Vol. I

Lets try something. I know some info, mostly about gadgets and websites and other crap, all of which I don't really need to know. So I feel I should pass that information on to you, the reader of this post, so that you may know some info you don't need to know also. Ready? Lets do this then!

*For all of you who have an iPhone, an iPod Touch, or are thinking about getting one or the other, here's a little tidbit. Or two. On the 9th of June, Apple is releasing v2.0 of the software for the iPhone and Touch. What's this do you ask? Well, kind reader, it's going to include some updates that aren't announced yet, but also an update that includes the ability for developers to create applications that are native to the devices, and not just through accessible Mobile Safari. This way, developers can use the full potential of the device's capabilities, and not just what Mobile Safari can do. This includes full 3D games with motion support, powerful productivity apps, etc.
And, if you're going to buy either a shiny new iPhone or Touch, wait until after the 9th. Apple's probably going to come out with a newer iPhone or some price drops, and that's not too far away, is it?

*What do you get when you mix awesomeness, the internet, and cellphones? The free mobile web browser Opera Mini, of course! It's comparable to the web browser in the iPhone, not as good of course, but still a really great mobile web browser. Zoom in and out of full webpages with ease. Go the the site to check it out. It actually made the $15 a month worth it for unlimited internet on my phone.

*Making things is hard. That's why there's Instructibles. The how-to on everything you'd ever need to do, by people who've done it themselves, with step-by-step instructions, pictures, and sometimes even video. Perfect for finding something to do for a "look what I did!" weekend, or weeknight, project.
