The 4th

William 3 Comments

Kyllan was in Denver this past weekend for the 4th. We had a great time hanging out time together and just relaxing. We managed to catch two movies, The Proposal and Public Enemies, while she was here. Interestingly, I found The Proposal very entertaining and didn’t really care for Public Enemies. The Proposal didn’t do anything new, but it was executed well. As predictable as The Proposal was, somehow the characters were more developed than in Public Enemies. I thought that Public Enemies had some great acting and cinematography, but the story didn’t do anything for me. It tried to  do too much with too many characters and the lack of focus left me bored.

Kyllan’s trainer was happy to hear that we continued going to the gym while she was here. We did manage to eat out quite a bit, but we keep an eye on our portion sizes.

I don’t have anything to post about. I just wanted to let everyone know that we are still here and doing well.

The Hangover is the funniest movie I’ve seen all year, however, I wouldn’t recommend it to my parents.)

Kyllan saw the new Star Trek movie a second time. You read that right, she saw it twice!

My old high school, Stanton College Preparatory School, was recently ranked the #4 public school in the country by Newsweek.

I was not all that excited about the new iPhone. The best thing about it is the price drop on its predecessor.

I really like Hulu Desktop. Broadcast TV and cable are just one step closer to being dead.

Memorial Day

I spent the weekend with Kyllan in Dallas. It was a last minute decision, I bought the ticket Thursday night, but we managed to put together a fun filled trip.

Saturday morning I joined Kyllan as she volunteered at an event for a charity organization. Saturday evening I convinced her to see the new Star Trek movie. I had already seen it, and absolutely loved it, but couldn’t pass up an opportunity to expose my wife to quality sci-fi. And guess what? She enjoyed it! I’m telling you, Kyllan is a scifi fan, she just doesn’t know it yet. Sunday we went to church and joined Kyllan’s sister and her family for brunch. After eating we hit up the outlet mall for 50% off sales. Later we had mini-24 marathon. (We used to both watch 24, but I schedules got so busy that we have been unable to keep up.) Monday we had our own little BBQ. Pictures from the weekend are on my Flickr. A slide show is below.

Mother’s Day in Jacksonville

Kyllan and I spent Mother’s Day in Jacksonville with my parents. It was a fun-filled, yet exhausting, weekend. In between a belated  birthday celebration for Kyllan and the Mother’s Day festivities we helped my father setup his new tv and wireless internet network. There was also the traditional computer help that comes with every visit. Pictures from the trip can be found on my Flickr. A slide show of pictures from the trip is below. (The first few pictures are of Kyllan opening a birthday gift from my parents. This is NOT any type of hint concerning her and Mother’s Day.)

Finally! Kyllan now has an iPhone. Well… sort of. Her company phone is now an iPhone. I have been amazed by how much she likes it. She spent the weekend trying out a bunch of different apps; Some which I recommended and others she found on her own. For the iPhone users out there, which apps do you like? My favorite apps are listed below.

WeatherBug: Weather Forcast (Kyllan prefers AccuWeather’s app)

Tipulator: calculates how to split the check & tip for a large party (at $0.99, it is my only paid app)

USA Today & Mobile News: News

Yelp: Location based restaurant guide and reviews(Kyllan perfers open table, which I haven’t used yet)

Flixster: Location based movie times

iPhlix: Netflix queue management

Lose It!: Meal Diary with a nice graphic user interface.

Tripit: Trip itinararies from Tripit.com , which I think is a great site.

Bloomberg: Stocks: It’s more advanced then the deafult Apple stock app

Amazon: Amazon.com’s app. I like to compare prices when I am out and about
