I hope it cools down a little by the time I get there.  :)

We got up at 4am this morning, and reached Nashville for the night around 3:30pm (eastern time).

Tomorrow, the trip continues at 5am. We should arrive in Dallas around 3pm… but we’ll see.

So, keep an eye out.

Apple released their new iPhone last week. The updates basically break down into 3 new things that the would make “you” want to upgrade your old iPhone, or run out and buy one if you don’t currently own one.

  • •3G data speeds
  • •GPS now available
  • •Price drop to $199

    (more…)

Oh, and it’s suppose to have GPS too!

    ]]>     http://www.jeffwhalen.com/2008/04/29/3g-iphone-june/feed/     OpenMac only $399 http://www.jeffwhalen.com/2008/04/14/mac-compatible-for-only-399/ http://www.jeffwhalen.com/2008/04/14/mac-compatible-for-only-399/#comments Mon, 14 Apr 2008 17:22:12 +0000 admin http://www.jeffwhalen.com/2008/04/14/mac-compatible-for-only-399/ Psystar is offering a Mac compatible solution called “OpenMac” for only $399. It’s supposely capable of running Leopard on standard PC parts. Its interesting, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple sued them, because Psystar is supposedly in violation of Leopard’s End User License Agreement. The Agreement strictly prohibits Leopard to run on non Apple hardware.

    Open Mac Specs:  
    • 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    • 2GB of DDR2 667 memory
    • Integrated Intel GMA 950 Graphics
    • 20x DVD+/-R Drive
    • 4 USB Ports
    • 250GB 7200RPM Drive

Actually, I’m proud of myself cause I’m normally an impulse buyer on items such as this. Only ending up kicking myself cause I should have waited. Anyway one of the reasons I’m holding out for an iPhone right now is for 3G, which it doesn’t currently support.
    I’m normally an impulse buyer on items such as this…

    3G will allow broadband speeds for data on the iPhone, as opposed to the current EDGE network, in which it is only about the speed of dial up. According to the rumors mills like Macrumors.com, all seem to consistently say that the iPhone will have 3G support by June. Only time will tell but heres hoping apple updates it soon, maybe they will increase the hard drive at the same time. :)

It now displays the last two songs I’ve listened to and updates in real time. Now all I have to do is pull the correct iTunes link…

It uses PHP and CSS to set the image. Pretty cool! Download the script here.

I should then be able to move the rest of the pages on Jeffwhalen.com. Man this site development is taking a while. God, time flies!
