Well it’s finally happened, someone actually want’s me to come and show them how to use something, and from what I hear theier’s suppose to be about 20 people showing up at the South Regional Meeting of the Catholic Press Association. One more thing to add to my resume, lecturer.

For those that are attending I will be re-posting my notes up here and on chrisabass.com .

Quick and easy iPhone App

A local company ‘Smack Dab Studios’ launched this app development service back in July. It’s a quick way anyone can get a customized iPhone app to market. Pretty cool if you ask me, and your probably not but I’m saying it anyway.

The service starts at 29 bucks a month for a hosted app that can have the content updated on the fly through their online app management system (AMS). I’m coining the phrase AMS if it’s not already out there AMS©®™ The Interactionaut.

Found my missing iPhone

So around about Monday of this week my wife was driving onto the parkway. Little did she know that my phone was sitting atop her vehicle. Since I had been trying to find it for the last couple of days I had tracked it to her car using my mobileme account. I searched the car numerous times but neglected to look on top of the car. Long story short at about 55 miles per hour on Monday it was sent flying to the curb lane on an overpass of the parkway.

I started my search that afternoon slowing down to 40 mph and looking along the side but I saw nothing. I looked again the following morning and noticed something but when I went back by and slowed down to pick it up but I was only able to find the case.

Wednesday morning I looked again and saw something that looked like my iPhone but when I came back by and stopped I found nothing. Then finally on Thursday I slowed down saw what I was looking for and stopped with success. I finally found the phone.

Unfortunately when I hooked it up to my computer nothing happened, no start up screen, no recognition from the computer that anything was connected. So I guess I can rule this as an unintentional iPhone homicide.

OK so I realize I didn’t get an iPhone 4 but I’m still suppose to get a new coffee maker and I so need coffee.

Phone blues update

This is about as far as I can get before the apple store telling me ‘Your request couldn’t be processed’.

Here I go

So, admittedly I watch American Idol. I know it’s not my proudest admittance but I did so because I honestly have hope for it. This year there’s a fair crop of talented people and among them some singer songwriter types. The problem with the show is it’s not showing any clearly defined change your head make your brain explode newness. By that I don’t mean ‘That was an amazing performance and I think we could really sell this guy/girl’ . It’s more like ‘That song and the way you sung it and the words that you spoke really really got to me and I see your pain and your hope and your desire out in the open and somehow, I don’t know how, you changed me’. I think it’s the kind of thing you don’t get from there. You only find when you stumble upon it, and when you’re ready to receive it.

Where is the genesis for this thought? Every now and then it happens to me where I hear a song that’s like that scent you smell reminding you of something from long ago. Like eating something you haven’t eaten since you were a kid and suddenly you’re back there again.

It really makes me wish there was something like that out there that could remind us all of when we felt the best in our lives and by doing so make us that way again. A standout example to change what we feel about the world. Maybe I’m too much the dreamer.

I started writing this about ‘American Idol’ but I guess what I’m really writing about is the ability we all have to become emotionally involved in an inspiration. We all keep our eye out for it.

What else have I been thinking about lately? Communication and the lack everyone has of it. So much of the time we listen but we don’t listen enough because there’s no time to. I’m calling time out until we understand each other. Stop saying ‘You don’t understand what I’m talking about’ and stop and listen to what the other person has to say. And most of all stop listening to the media. Start listening to your neighbor again. All of them, individually, are really down deep the same. We are all afraid, we all dream, we all love, we all lie because we all dream we all love we are all afraid.

Mainly, I just need to pick up my guitar, or sit down at the piano, and learn until I know.
