Starting August 8, you get a free iTunes download for trying on jeans at the Gap. Apple hasn’t anounced this yet, but Gap Inc. has. I’m gonna try and get my parents to try on jeans with me. I know Sudman will try to get his parents in on it, too.

I *need* to get this t-shirt, designed by Dan Cederholm. It’s called the Document T-Shirt. It’s just so simple, yet so cool. And it shows off your geekiness. Unless you guys don’t know by now, Dan is my design idol. He’s on that list of people that includes Biz Stone, and a whole slew of other people.
Today, I tried to redesign this site. Unfortunately, I was unable to. Why, you might ask? Because I can’t really decide how to make the site look. I want something with that nice glossy-matte look that SimpleBits, Odeo, and Mark Boulton have. I also need to get a nice color scheme. I keep coming back to the current color scheme, but I want to change it. I wish I had some more inpiration. I also wish I could kill Internet Explorer. It makes my designing moments a living nightmare.
Some guy bought a can of shaving cream and noticed it smelled “subtle-yet-masculine.” Imagine his shock when he found out that the label started to peel off and what he found inside was a can of women’s shaving cream!
My trip to Canada was excellent indeed. First, I went to the Niagara Falls Botanical Garden with my sister and bro-in-law. The place was awesome, with beautiful flowers and such. Then, we went to this really cool Pakistani restaurant in downtown Toronto called Lahore Tikka House. The food was awesome.
I went to the Toronto Apple Store, which was sorta crowded. I noticed that many of the employees were bent at selling stuff. They kept trying to convince people to buy stuff. I even saw a guy who kept trying to embarass an employee. He kept asking whether the iPod was “IBM-compatible” and referred to Macs as “Apple-ware.” Funny.
Well, I came home yesterday, and I wish I had stayed longer, but, oh well.
I uploaded a bunch of photos to Flickr, which was fun. I made a set called Trip to Canada. It has a bunch of photos from when I stopped at the Niagara Falls.
I’m bored and I don’t have much to do, except buying “unmentionables” from the motel’s vending machine. That’s something I don’t wanna do. Well, I found a game called Sugar Crush where you are a sugar cube trying to make a kid have “fun fun fun.” (via Boing Boing)
I was on the road for pretty much the whole day. It was fun. I got a whole lot of food, including two Frappucinos, one bottled and one fresh. I’m in a motel called the Border Inn.
I took a bunch of photos and I got them onto my laptop. Those are uploading as I type this out. How, you might ask? The motel offers free internet, wired and wireless! Pretty awesome, I must say, but I’m leaving tomorrow. I’m gonna go to Canada.
Well, better go now. Some of the food we brought from my house seems to have gotten to me. My stomach hurts.
I’m going to Canada on Saturday. We’re leaving my house tomorrow morning and leaving those of my relatives who can’t get into Canada without a visa at an inn at the Niagara Falls. There’s supposed to be free internet there, so I’m bringing along my laptop. Hope all goes well. Well, better pack up now.
I’m podcasting now, which is pretty cool. I have my own Odeo channel and the Cafenut podcast is listed in iTunes.
Odeo is cool. It seems to get better every time I try it out. Just today, I found a cool way to link to my channel. I really hope I can get early access to the Create tools. Did you know my channels number is 4554? Cool palindrome.
Ok guys, I read Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, as I mentioned before. It was great! The way it ended was a bit different from the first five books, but nonetheless awesome.
I had fun at Barnes & Noble. It was sorta boring waiting, though. I got a moleskine and the new Fountains of Wayne album, Out-Of-State Plates. I finished the book in about 48 hours, starting at around 1:30 in the morning on July 16, 2005.
I won’t tell anyone what happens, but I will say that please don’t read any spoilers on Wikipedia if you haven’t read the book. It literally spoils the ending for you.
