Comments(0) Wordpress released their iPhone program. Pretty cool so far. iPhone 3G has been working nicely in Japan. Maps even finds you if you have a data connection.
Mostly, this is a test entry.

Do you know that all have in common? Apple has done all of these better on the iPhone. I’m not talking about the iPhone 3G… I’m talking on the iPhone. After an extended 1-year beta that I paid $499 to join, Apple has taken their “better Palm” and created a completely integrated platform that Windows always hoped it would be.
The way you install Windows hasn’t changed in about 15 years… As a techie you get used to it… you should marvel at the simplicity of the iPhone. Apple went after developers. Gave them a secure way to hock their products. Created a vertical installation and delivery system.
Beautiful.
Downloadable content on the Xbox and PS3s are very similar. How soon before the desktops follow? Vertical application stores provided by Dell, HP, etc?
We have more than enough computing power… Apple decided we simply needed to make it simpler to use.

Actually, this second one shouldn’t even be how to look at each day. These are some great points for how to simply be “successful”. It’s also the fact that you need to learn from failure. There are so many people out there who are simply unable to cope with failure. The winners are not those who don’t fail, but rather those who come back from failure. Don’t fear failure. Anyone can go against the odds and lose. Success is beating the odds. The greater the odds are against you… the greater the success… (start cheesy cliches: “Bet money to win money. Greater change, the greater the reward.” etc. etc.)
Blaming your lack of success on circumstances or actions of others doesn’t help.

I ponder are these truly the 12 most awesome movies of the 80s.
My criticisms:
My Honorable mention (partially ripped from the comments of the original post):
Things that started in the 70s and continued into the 80s that were pretty good.
Comments(0) I’m sitting here watching a demonstration in front of San Francisco City Hall, where people are demanding that universal health care be given to everybody. Am I crazy to think that this entitlement for universal health care is going a bit too far?
As a country, we’re in debt.
As a state, we’re in debt.
So, wouldn’t it make more sense to get something in return for providing universal health care? I thought the whole point of things like unions (of which I’m not really a fan) was to provide “fair benefits and working conditions” for employees. Why don’t we make employers provide health care? Then let all the employers create their own HMOs, much the same way they create their own credit unions or investment funds…
Why don’t we make the states responsible? Or the city governments? Don’t tell me a bunch of people wouldn’t flock to a city that had good public transportation and affordable health care for its citizens.
Maybe it’s a radical thought, but shouldn’t we stop waiting for the federal government to act and set an example. You mean to tell me that San Francisco can go ahead and legalize same-sex marriages and medicinal marijuana, but can’t find a way to push affordable health care for its residents?
Now, Gavin, let’s really get progessive…
