Movie


I went to see Greenberg last night. We were the only ones in the theater but I had high expectations for this film because I think Noah Baumbach is talented individual. The movie is very slow going but Ben Stiller plays a character that I semi-cared to find out more about. Noah Baumbach seems to be really interested in periods of life when people have little direction such as post graduation of college in "Kicking and Screaming" and middle age which he is approaching. This movie was a little strange as far as a normal movie structure goes. I didn't love it but didn't hate it either and kind of want to give it a second viewing to see if the melancholy can be more insightful. I think I new what Baumbach was saying but he didn't do it with as much comedic moments as expected. I'm no film critc but the preview sets a totally different tone for this movie than what is actually in the film. The preview sets it up as a man who discovers something profound but wasn't expecting to. However, the movie lacks the experiences that make this relization compelling to watch. (I recommend watching it but maybe rental not theater)

The Colorado Rockies drafted Tim Tebow last night. Tebow is known for his great wind up and pitching arm....wait, what's that? The Broncos drafted Tebow? To play what? Oh, well I don't agree with that one bit.

New iphone found in a bar


Gizmodo has managed to get its hands on the next-gen iPhone, and has posted videos and photos of the new handset. At this point we’re pretty much certain it is this summer’s new model.

Our good friends at the Giz have had the handset for a week, and despite not being able to get past the “connect to iTunes” screen of any new iPhone, they have fully documented it and even opened the thing up. Somebody at Apple is in big trouble.

The rear case is, as we saw this morning, flat and shiny. It seems to still be plastic, though, rather than ceramic or glass as rumored (the Giz folks aren’t sure), and the chassis and sides of the body are aluminum. There is a front-facing video-conferencing camera, a high-res screen (which is such “high quality that it was impossible to discern individual pixels”) and a micro-SIM slot, mimicking that found on the iPad. This slot is on the side, moved from the top.

There is also a bigger camera lens and a flash. No, not that Flash – a camera flash, and also a second microphone for noise cancellation, like that on the Nexus One. The other major changes are that two round volume buttons replace the previous rocker-switch, and the whole case is thinner than the current iPhone 3GS.

Inside, many of the parts are proper Apple components, and they have been shrunk to make room for a bigger battery. When hooked up to iTunes or Apple’s developer tools, it also identifies itself as an iPhone. In short, it looks like the real deal.

Like we said, somebody at Apple will be getting into trouble over this. The prototype was lost in a bar in Redwood City, and was sat inside a custom case which makes it look just like a 3GS from the outside, complete with custom cut-outs for reaching the new hardware controls. Apple certainly wanted to keep this one a secret. We believe that this might be the biggest leak from Apple that we have ever seen. It is also a hot-looking iPhone.

I had a chance to visit the Gato Heroi space a couple years ago with Alex Knost and those kids seem to be having a good time making some interesting shapes and experimenting with dying t-shirts and boards. Gato Heroi

John, Cameron and myself have been playing some tennis. The US Open is coming soon. Some call boxing the "Sweet Science" I like to call tennis "Bright Math". It is a game of inches and apparently Pete Sampras is a bad tipper.
