I just ordered some awesome sticks/decals for my Macbook Pro and iPad. Hopefully this will add some color and retro feel bringing back the old Apple logo. I think iPad sticker is the one I am looking forward to the most!

You can view the full line of stickers at the CoolDecal on Etsy!

The Liberty of the Seas on Royal Caribbean

Voyage on April 4, 2010

Just got back off my week voyage on the beautiful Liberty of the Seas. It is hard to get back to reality after being out at sea for a week. Having to pay for food again? What? Back to not eating all the time everyday. Having to clean your own room again. Ughh…So ready to go back on the ship!  

You can’t get any better than cruising on vacation. The ship’s itinerary was to Costa Maya, Cozumel, Belize, and Grand Cayman. Of all the places, Grand Cayman is my favorite! Touring the Mayan ruins in Costa Maya was also awesome! Below are all the pictures from this awesome vacation! If you are thinking of cruising on the Liberty of the Seas, don’t think twice. Get on this ship!

The last day at sea :/

I’m off to the Liberty of the Seas next week from Royal Caribbean. Have you been on this ship? If so, what is your favorite thing about it? Pictures to come after next week!

I love weather, and anything about it. I can’t wait to get my iPad to download this new weather app! I bet it will be completely amazing!

The iPhone 3G has been the best phone I have ever used in my life! It replaces multiple devices into one! It is basically my little handheld computer!

After participating in multiple iPhone 3G forums on battery life, I don’t see anything from Apple or users what they are actually getting in standby times and usage times. Along with a few software bugs in 2.0, this is by far one of the biggest issues that is affecting a lot iPhone owners.    

Now, I know the iPhone 3G uses up a lot more power than the original 1st Gen iPhone. However, normal everyday use of these phones and escpecially mine has proven to be not very good – even with everything turn off (3G, Wifi, GPS, Push). So basically the phone is running just like a normal 1st Gen iPhone in Edge. Apple specifications report around 10 hours talk of battery life on regular old Edge and 5 hours talk on 3G. Now that totally makes sense since 3G uses a ton more power.

Now I am a pretty heavy mobile user, but results I got were pretty sad when running on Edge only.

• On Edge – all other services turned off
• 12 hours Standy with 4 hours of use
• Only around 30 min of call time
• Phone in airplane mode for about 4 hours when I was flying
• Battery at 10%

That was pretty normal times on my battery. I read in a couple different forums where people were getting over 1 day of Standy and bigger usage times.

I called Apple Support on Friday and was giving them my battery times. She couldn’t find any exact numbers but she told me that it sounded like my battery was about half of what it should be getting when on Edge only. I went for the option of having my iPhone 3G replace by Apple and should be here tomorrow via DHL. I could have went to the Apple store to get it replace, but since the store is about 2 hours away and basically there are no iPhones in stock confirmed by iJustine’s video of “The World is out of iPhones”, I just paid $29 in shipping to have the iPhone shipped to me.

Now, this is where I want to hear from all the iPhone 3G owners out there. I want to hear what  your normal battery times in standby and usage times and under what configurations. I haven’t seen a centralized location with this information from real life users. So please post below, and let’s hear what your times are to help out other iPhone 3G owners.

I thought I would also share iJustine’s awesome video of “The World is Out of iPhones”

As a possible tropical storm that is soon to be named Cristobal threatens the Southeastern United States and myself, I decided I would give you a first hand glimpse of the weather outside my window.

This Saturday afternoon July 19 through Sunday, Sunday 20, I am going to be running a live broadcast of the weather outside my window on JustinTV. Come by and take a look and see how the tropical storm is affecting us on the Eastern Coast of North Carolina. I am about an hour and half away from the ocean, but we are still expecting some wind and heavy rains.  

Hope you to see you all in chat, and maybe we will take a drive around when the storms start!

Update @ 2 p.m. Sat July 19, 2008 – It is official now, it is Tropical Storm Cristobal!
