It is now a week after I was finally able to purchase an Apple iPhone and I could not be happier. Sure, I am a tad worried about the battery, but these days, who isn’t?

Anyways, it all started one and a half years ago. Er wait, it actually started way before that. Even before the original iPod. Way back when I became addicted to the company we have all come to love: Apple. Someone recommended visiting MacRumors.com for the latest company news and the rest is history. I have not stopped following them since. Although I have only purchased three’ish computers, one iPod and now one phone, I am one of Apple’s and Steve Jobs’ biggest fans.

Enough of the really way-back past. Let’s fast forward to just last week… Read the rest of this entry »

An open letter to the City of Solon, Ohio

Light & SignEvery weekday afternoon I drive on 422-East, take the Harper Road exit and turn left. Every weekday afternoon, I notice that the red light is extremely long while the green light is extremely quick. Every weekday afternoon, people do not want to wait through the first red light, and definitely do not want to wait through a second one. They are impatient, yes, but this is a long red light.

In order to avoid that second dreaded red light, they follow closely to the car in front of them, hoping that will be the difference between being legal (yellow light) and breaking the law (red light). Even when there is a red light, some still continue to dangerously travel through the intersection simply so they can avoid that dreaded second red light. Read the rest of this entry »

Another New Poster Below!

The Dark Knight

I was never really a fan of “Comic Book Movies.” When I was younger I never watched any of the Superman or Batman movies. I did see Batman Forever and enjoyed it, but that was about it. When X-Men came out in 2000, it was met with an “eh” by me. Spiderman? Yeah, they weren’t bad, but of course ended up going downhill very quickly. (Can anyone say emo Spiderman?)

JDate: You are a drug. You are addicting.

Posted by shane On July - 1 - 2008ADD COMMENTS

45 days ago I made a conscious decision to leave JDate.com behind and move forward. Delete my profile and say goodbye. I believed I was over online dating. I believed that I no longer needed “a crutch” to find her. I finally realized that I am (and have been) a good catch and could find an attractive, young lady to go out on a date with…without the help of the Internet.

Even with this new found self-esteem, 45 days and not a week goes by without me thinking about the site or the possible missed opportunities. I have pondered many times about returning simply to look. I have pondered many times what females have signed up in the days since I left. I have pondered what I could be missing.
