The dissolving bikini?

A German company has invented a marvelous new bikini that disappears once a girl puts it on and takes a swim.

The sexy swimsuit disappears by dissolving in water, leaving a woman completely nude and embarrassed. The sexy black swimsuit looks like a real bikini, feels like a real bikini and fits like a real bikini. The only difference is it’s made from a material that completely melts away after a few seconds in water.

The future is sure looking great.


A little beef with UPS

I ordered a package Sunday night. I had it set for overnight delivery, the package was shipped late Monday, and by 6am wednesday morning was in my hometown and "Out for delivery". I never received my package yesterday and was a little PO'd. Because I spent most of my day waiting for the package. So I send them an email late in the night and I get an email in the morning tell me: "Your package has been rescheduled for next tuesday. The package will have to be in transit for 4 days before getting to your house."

I live in a smaller town, and when the package is in my hometown, I don't think it takes 4 days to get it to me. I check the tracker this morning and it shows "Destination Scan" in my Hometown. How does it go from out for delivery to destination scan?

Not even 15 minutes ago, I hear a knock on the door. It's not UPS, it's Purolator. I was confused, but whatever, I got my package.

iPhone 3gs Review

First off, I've never owned an iPhone previous to this one, so be easy, k? Thanks.

The iPhone 3gs is an amazing phone. Let's get on to what the s means. Speed.

I previously owned a Blackberry and the speeds between the two are quite substantial. Apps take around 2 seconds to load, while games will take around 5-8. There is no waiting with this phone. What really wowed me with its speed is the trimming tool for your videos. It's amazingly fast, and you can upload videos directly to youtube from your iPhone.

Now video quality. I understand that the camera angle in the video below is a bit weird, but you can still judge the quality of the video. For a phone, this is some great quality video. Great for vlogging and capturing randoms moments with your friends and such.




Let's move onto sounds quality. The speaker from the phone has some decent quality sounds. I wouldn't recommend this for listening to music, use the headphone that came with it. You can turn it up quite loud which is nice? What annoys me is that the speakers are located at the bottom of the phone (where you plug in the usb). Now the reason this annoys me the fact that if I'm playing a game and I have to hold the phone sideways, my fingers seems to block the speakers a little bit to where I slightly hear the sound of the game. Sometimes even blocking the sounda altogether.

Even though the battery life is a bit longer than the other iPhones, switching from a Blackberry to an iPhone, I noticed that the iPhone's battery life is quite short. It's fine if you just talk on the phone or text. But if you go about playing games, browsing the net and using applications, the iPhone's battery can be low 3/4 of the way through the day. Also, when playing games or taking video and trimming it, I notice the back of the iPhone can get really warm. I'm pretty sure most of you know by now that the 3gs has some overheating issues. Especially with the white casing on the back, which I have. I was going to buy the black one, but they were sold out. Anyways, if you do own the one with the white casing on the back, beware that parts of the white casing can turn green or brown. I have not yet experienced this and I really hope I don't.

A couple new features that they brought to the iPhone 3gs were the compass and the voice control. The compass is a neat feature, but I don't use it, but it's fun to play with from time to time. The voice control is a great feature too. I only use it for telling my phone to play music by a certain artist or when I'm driving. For example, to play a song by Lupe Fiasco, just say "Play songs by Lupe Fiasco." You have to be clear, the voice control can sometimes play a different artist. I'm not a fan of driving and talking on my phone at the same time, but if I need to make a phone call, the voice control feature comes in handy because I don't need to worry about looking for the contact in my phone. I simply say "Call Corey."

Overall the iPhone 3gs is fantastic. I don't recall the last time I could do pretty much anything from my phone. If you don't own an iPhone, go ahead and do yourself a favor and buy one. Go with the 3gs though. The video recording and the speed alone should win you over.

If you have and questions, post them in the comments and I'll try to answer them as soon as possible.

Fedor Emelianenko, UFC closing in on a deal?

After visiting the blog http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/sports_blog/ and finding this news story, I can't help but get excited. Brock Lesnar vs Fedor Emelianenko would be the greatest UFC fight of all time. Being a big fan of UFC this would be a dream come true.

Unfortunately, after further investigating of this story, I came across http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/mma/07/28/Emelianenko.Octagon/index.html

Don't get your hopes up yet, folks.

I still believe a deal will get done sometime in August. I honestly don't see a deal happening by Friday here.

Stuff, some more stuff, and uh. Just read.

Why hello there! Somehow you came across this blog. I don't even know how but you did. Now don't turn away, you have made a great discovery! If you're wondering what this blog is going to be about. Well let me just tell you eh?

This blog is going to be about almost anything I guess? I'll be posting my thoughts on current news stories, random videos from my day (once I get a camera), and some reviews on things I've bought. Don't miss my iPhone 3gs review in a couple days! There will be a lot more things I'll post about it, so don't get worried there!

Anyways, I'm out.

I also made a twitter account for the first time ever. So go ahead and check it out. Follow me if you want, I'll follow you back.
