First off a big congrats goes out to the UCF womens basketball team on thier CUSA championship and thier ticket to the big dance. Good luck.
So now having been on all three casino cruises that are or have been at port Canaveral, they all suck. Well, sterling wasn’t too bad but they are all quite boring unless you have a lot of money to burn and like gambling. I don’t have either. It was an incredibly rough night Saturday when we went. I took Dramamine and I was a little sick. Overall the boat is kind of cruddy, really small. The one thing about sterling when it was there is that the actual boat was rather clean (compared to the others). This was dirty and very small. On top of that all the slot machines were very close together.
Me and Freddy sat up in the sports book all night and watched BBall, Soccer (Futbal) and boxing. Sippin’ on G&T and playing “I’m On A Boat” on my phone for 3 hours. It was fun, but only cause I was quite drunk.
Would not do it again, and I really can’t recommend it to anyone else. You will most likely have a better time just going to a bar, especially if you are almost in Cocoa Beach and you can find a bar that loverlooks the ocean.
iPod Touch
Saturday, August 2nd, 2008So last week I splurged on an iPod Touch. I know what everyone is saying: “why not get an iPhone, its better”. Well 1. I didn’t want to switch to AT&T, and I still dont pay for my cell service
. So UCF has wireless EVERYWHERE…. almost. Beyond that the only thing that was really holding me back was the price ($299 for the 8GB). Well I discovered the refurbished models that Apple has on thier website (baiscly $100 off). So that was my resonaing, but beyond that it is awesome.
The first item of business was of course the 2.0 firmware upgrade ($10 for iPod users). This gave me access the the app store, and let me tell you there is some cool shit. VNC, AIM, last.fm, AOL Radio just to name a few. I have to say this is one of the best products I have used in a while. It has all the features of the iPhone (almost) without the cost and contract.
The two things the iPod Touch lacks are a camera, which I have a pretty small one so thats not a big deal, and bluetooth. I would hope that in the update they would add bluetooth sync (which the iPhone doesnt have I dont think). So, for anyone thinking about buying an iPhone but likes thier phone too much I really recomend the iPod Touch.
UPDATE: lifehacker has an article about it today too (http://lifehacker.com/399619/forget-the-iphone++the-ipod-touch-is-good-enough)
