Apple has announced their own cell phone now, called the iPhone. It is truly groundbreaking. This is going to turn the cell phone world upside-down. Check it out here -> http://www.apple.com/iphone/ or watch the keynote speech here -> http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/j47d52oo/event/ . The keynote speech is really cool, it shows alot more and goes alot more indepth than just the iphone site. You can see alot of cool features in use. Check it out. Let me know what you think.

Net Neutrality

2006-11-13T15:45:00.000-06:00

I encourage all of you guys to visit http://savetheinternet.com/ and through there contact your senetors etc. Net Neutrality is a really important issue and most of the decision makers in washington are too dunderheaded to understand it.

Bastards.

Get back over here and quit pretending like you're busy and have lives.

I wish you all the best, you guys deserve it.

If you feel the same way, call 802 3997 for a good time.

Umm... Its Josh...

So hey all. Its been too long. Where to start? Over a year ago, i moved out of my parents house. Moved in with 5 other people. Its been a good year. filled with good times, but unfortunately, none of you... And in 2 months i'm moving out to washington state. yep, washington. and i'll prolly be there for quite some time. So i think we all need to hang out again before that. anyways. see you all at the 10-year reunion if not before!

2006-06-07T23:58:00.000-05:00

Well folks, it has been almost a month since the last post so I thought I'd take things into my own hands. It is officially summer, which means all the beautiful people are mostly naked.... in my backyard. But that doesn't really matter because I work all day in a restaurant and come back all stinky and gross. And I'm okay with that. I really am.

Just who are they kidding? I can't believe they're even trying this - going head to head with Adobe and Macromedia? It's destined to fail. From what I've seen there's nothing revolutionary about the software (except for the integration... but that evokes from me a might "Meh!"), so why would anyone switch from using well-established Adobe and Macromedia products? I sure wouldn't - and won't.

Word gives me a hand....

2006-05-11T16:19:00.000-05:00

Ha ha, I'm in the middle of writing a paper, but with the help that word keeps giving me, i don't know if i'll ever finish!

Because Hogan Knows Best....

2006-05-02T20:50:00.000-05:00

Last weekend I watched a TV show on VH1 with Brittany called "Hogan Knows Best". Im hooked, I wish my school got that chanel so I could see it. I like it. One of my good friend's older brother used to be obsessed with Hulk Hogan when he was little, and so i have gotten alot of exposure to the hulk during my life. We used to watch "Thunder in Paradise" every friday together. Good Times. Anyways, you should catch it sometime, its pretty funny. I like it because it is the first show I have ever seen about a rich family where the family isnt a bunch of snobby @#$@#$@!$. Of course they are a little used to getting their way, they are rich you know, but the Hulk Hogan is actually kind and loving to his family, it blew me away. He diciplines his children, and manages to do it in a loving, fatherly way. He tells his son that he is proud of him, he tells his kids he loves them. I was shocked at how nice he and they are. Maybe its because Hulk Hogan and his wife werent rich their whole lives, or because they come from modest backgrounds, I dunno. But I enjoy watching the show, and you might too.

Why......

2006-04-28T21:44:00.000-05:00

......are all my friends getting wasted right now? Is that what fun is, getting drunk until you can't speak and doing a bunch of stupid stuff and waking up the next day not remembering any of it, but knowing it happened because you're so sick?

It just pisses me off. Maybe people just aren't capable of having fun unless they're trashed.

Google Calendar

2006-04-20T18:10:00.000-05:00

Google Calendar just came out recently and I'm beceoming slowly addicted to it. There are still alot of things that I would have them do differntly, but as it is still in beta, I'm sure they will add those features and fix the bugs. I suggest you try it. If you like, I'll even share my calendar with you and you can know about all things Tim.

Nothing is happening to the left of this post. If you didnt want blueprintss to be able to support istelf, i.e. the price of the domain/hosting per year, you would not bother visiting some of the stuff that is not happening to the left of this post everynow and then when you visit. Left of this post.

Moving in...

2006-04-18T09:28:00.000-05:00

I assume you guys know that I am transferring to Purdue, so I will be starting my junior year at Purdue and not Taylor. Yesterday I put down a deposit on a one bedroom apartment near Purdue, and I move in August 18th. Im pretty excited about it, it has alot of room :) And it has a sliding patio doors and a little patio where I can grill, and I got the corner apartment that has a pretty big grassy backyard part. Im really looking forward to going to Purdue and I can't wait to finally have my own place where I can cook whatever food I want and not be subject to the crap my school serves. In addition, there is a walking path essentially from my backyard to the walmart on the other side of a small pond, so i actually have a walmart within walking distance!!! This is a big thing for me, as it used to be a 35 minute drive to get to walmart. Also, I will be able to get pizza, like a real college student, it is a 47 minute drive to get dominoes out here. So hooray, I will be near civilization and have my own comfortable place with no roommates to bother me. Visitors welcome.

In case you were wondering...

You might have guessed how bored I am, since I just checked the source of this page for no good reason......

WHOOAOAAOAOOAOOOAOAO!!1!1

First to respond to Timmy's message. I win, you bunch of filthy bastards.

Listen to me Saturday night 10pm-2am CDT at www.wonc.org or I'll slay every last one of you. I'm not kidding, I will.

Hi guys!

Why not send all of y'all a facebook message?

2006-04-10T19:56:00.000-05:00

Sam, Sal, Erik, you are prolly hear cause you got a facebook message... Well, now that I tricked you into returning to this barren blog, why don't you stay a while and read up on what has been happening? Maybe even leave some comments, since we've got those back and working now. Hoooray!! Then it's settled! You'll enjoy a relaxing spa vacation, and Zoidberg will eat!

comments....

2006-04-07T09:06:00.000-05:00

I finally got around to setting blogger's commenting system, so go to it. Also, blueprints now has an RSS feed, you can find it in the menu, so add it to your RSS agregator, or your google homepage, or (my personal favorite) netvibes.

Tahoe Spin

2006-04-07T00:52:00.000-05:00

Heres an article about how Chevy put some spin on the debaucle noted in the previous post. Make of it what you will. � Spinning the Chevy Tahoe ad campaign | Between the Lines | ZDNet.com

GM makes a blunder...

2006-04-07T00:48:00.000-05:00

So apparently GM hooked up with Trump's "Apprentice" show to do alittle marketing for GM's new Chevy Tahoe. Bassically, you go online and make your own "TV" add for the new tahoe. Well, people recognized what a great opportunity this was and used it to make a whole bunch of slanderous commercials about the new gas guzzler. You can read about it here...

Craigslist: Missed Connections

2006-04-06T19:21:00.000-05:00

This area of craigslist was mentioned offhand in a post on the google blog. I was curious so i checked it out, kinda weird, it seems people post things to it in hopes of meeting that person the walked past on the street but didnt talk to, yadda yadda yadda, etc. I thought this post was especially amusing...

Reefer Madness!!!

2006-03-24T09:27:00.000-06:00

I came across this classic this morning. I think most of us can remember the great movie nights at Brett's, this was one of the fine selections we veiwed. Also, i heard that Brett made an appearance in a documentary about the suburbs of chicago, he was playing in his school jazz band or something? I think my mom bought the dvd, so i should get to see it over spring break. Anyways, enjoy the movie!
