@TheHomeDepot Final Update (Hopefully)

August 15, 2008 – 11:57 am

So, Home Depot came through for me and I appreciate it very much.  I shouldn’t have had to go through all of this to get satisfaction but once the right people became involved, it all fell into place.

I want to thank Mark Otto for his help moving this project along.  I also want to thank @thehomedepot on Twitter for her help getting the awareness that this required.

The installers that showed up to do things right were Great Lakes Timberwolf:

These guys did an awesome job and were really great!  They do just about everything and, judging by the job they did today cleaning up after the crappy installers that Home Depot sent the first couple of times, they should do a great job for you.

The Fence installers have arrived and have begun work. It appears that the previous installers didn’t drill the posts in properly because they didnt’t want to bother with the old post in it’s place.

These guys seem dedicated to doing the job right! I have a feeling that Home Depot sent someone who cares this time.

Waiting on the fence guys

I’m waiting on the fence guys to show up. The parts are here. Just waiting on the installers.

Ads at the gas pump

The gas prices are skyrocketing and now Shell is forcing us to stand through a slow scrolling ad before giving the option for a reciept at the pump.

Best Buy To Sell the iPhone Starting In September 2008

August 12, 2008 – 8:37 pm

Best Buy has struck a deal with Apple allowing them to be the first company outside of AT&T and Apple to officially sell the iPhone.  Apple has been selling the competing Samsung Instinct and it seems like a smart move for Apple to get their phone onto the sales floor of this gadget selling giant.

My take?  This is just another location for people to stand in line.  If Apple can’t keep their own stores stocked, how are they going to do any better with yet another mouth to feed?

Ok, I know that eventually, the tide will subside and the supply will meet equilibrium with the demand; but give me my moment of much deserved negativity before throwing logic into the mix.  :-P

So, eventually, this will turn into a very lucrative deal for all parties involved and I think that this is a very smart business move.  Apple says they’ve caught up with initial demand but the lines in front of Apple stores say something different.

DataCase for the iPhone Reviewed

August 11, 2008 – 7:26 pm

Forget the USB thumb drive.  If you have Wireless networking available, DataCase is the coolest way to backup, transfer, and share data between computers.

When you launch it on the iPhone, your screen looks like this:

On the computer, if you use your web browser to navigate to the address listed in the screen capture, you would get something that looks like:

Your iPhone or iPod shows up in the finder like any other network share.  This is one of the most useful apps that has come out of the App Store so far.  It’s definitely one of my favorites already.
