After two weeks of all the iPhone apps I care to download, I can say this: most of them are useless.

DataCase iPhone App Video: Turn Your iPhone Into A Wireless Drive.

iPhone Applications are blossoming since Apple opened the App Store a couple of days ago. Michael Arrington says exactly what I thought from day one when the App Store opened its doors. However, it looks like this is a pretty neat Application (unlike most downloaded-to-test-but-never-touched-in-real-life) that has a great potential, especially for its wireless hard-drive capabilities. Handy dandy. The user-interface could be a little bit more attractive, but that’s probably just me. DataCase for iPhone & iPod Touch by veiosoft.com.

Justin Timberlake's SexyBack Video Shoot - Day 3 by SexyBack on flickr.com

If sexy never left, then why’s everybody on my shi-it-it?
Don’t hate on me just because you didn’t come up with it.

Got it? Give It To Me (iTunes Link, in case you want to purchase the song)

I want that kind of suit for my next prom season. This cool tie included.

(This is a really random blog entry, and yet no sign of a Sommerloch)

Part 5 of The Ultimate Guide To College

Looking for design and decoration ideas has never been easier. Thanks the internet. Plus, don’t you think when you are about to (re)paint your room or when you have to think of how to make a new home cosy and warm, you don’t have to go far to find inspiration. The design, the color scheme rather comes to you. Pops up in front of you and you just go “Oh, I want it and I want it badly”. You actually have an idea of what colors, what furniture and bits and peaces (like a full HD 45 inch flat screen), and you are already well aware of how you’d love to assemble things in your new space. Do it, jump.

This green just jumped at me. It would also go along well with my "That Green" of my blog · by Josh Leo (Our First House)

If you want to be really inspirational and intend to motivate someone to get out of his/her daily grind, you always try to come up with a neat metaphor. Live your life. Get up and do cartwheels. Not so good metaphors, however, the one below…

The World Is Your Canvas, Paint Your Picture On It.

For instance, if you  have gotten advised that the world was your canvas and all that motivational crap, would you send a briefcase mounted with a GPS module around the world? Most people wouldn’t have done anything with that precious bit of wisdom. Erik himself didn’t even need someone to tell him to do a self-portrait of him on the biggest canvas I can come up with right now. He came up with that idea on his own. He says (in the red-letter disclaimer) that he didn’t do it in the end, but also says it’s possible. So maybe (and this in my motivational voice) you should go for it. Do the (im)possible.

With the little help of a briefcase Erik from biggestdrawingintheworld.com could (have -read the disclaimer in red) drawn a self-generated self-portrait on the biggest canvas. Earth.

This is not a typical Sommerloch blog post, no the twitter update attached below is a useful advice to good friendship. A thing that nobody should miss out in life. Speaking of not missing out on things in life: I recently came across with the Buried Life. A project that made a list of things they need to do before they die. Looks like this idea would bring you even closer. My favorites are #1 (Open the 6 o’clock news), #37 (Win and yell “Bingo!” at a Bingo hall) and #79 (Dance with Ellen DeGeneres) and last but not least #96 (Host a lemonade stand).

FYI: Sommerloch - silly season/summer slump: term for a certain period - mostly summer months - that lack of good and interesting headlines (due to vacation of political entities), and thus, minor stories that usually wouldn’t be picked up make headlines in media.

The best and best only · Twitter update on a typical Sunday I thought I'd spend indoors

The freedom to make decisions in life is something essential. It might be even so basic so that people don’t realize the real value of this human liberty unless the freedom of deciding themselves, voting for instance, is taken away from then. Please, go vote, even if you have the feeling that nothing is happening anyway (see Austria and the reelections in fall 2008).

Your voice matters, so does your vote. Thus you do, too.

YouTube - Two Ronnies: Hieroglyphics - Who says that hieroglyphs have to be deciphered following the translations of the Rosetta stone? What if Napoleon didn’t stumbled upon it. No, just kidding, it actually was Captain Pierre-François Bouchard, well it was a French man, however, I still can’t let go on the idea that Napoleon had some role in this spectacular discovery.
