iPhone 4 Review

I purchased an iPhone 3G about 2 years ago. I grew to love my 3G so it seemed inevitable I would purchase the newest version. I was eligible for an upgrade so I bought the iPhone 4 about a week ago and the new features are quite apparent.

Pros:
 - The camera and video features are great! The front facing camera makes taking photos really easy and it doubles as a mirror.
 - Super fact processor. The Internet speeds are fast compared to the 3G. 
 - Multitasking is another wonderful function.

Cons:
- I have noticed that the signal strength does vary a lot and that's obviously due to the internal antenna issues. I have a bumper on the phone but I still notice small signal issues.
- I think there are still bugs that need to be worked out. For example, I have had to turn the phone on and off in order to get some applications to work properly.

All in all I think its an improvement from the 3G but hopefully Apple can work out some of the bugs with future software updates.

Umbrella Stands

We are getting a ton of rain here in Dallas today. So in honor of the showers I thought it would be a good idea to find some well designed umbrella stands.  The Owl Stand is my favorite, so cute.

Mini Countryman - I want one so bad!

Danica Patrick







I am always impressed and amazed by strong AND beautiful women. Danica Patrick is no exception. Every race I have watched or interview I have seen, I come away thinking, "this chick is so bad ass!". She is most definitely sexy, but what appeals to me most about her, is her ability to race cars. She drives in the IndyCar Series. She was the first woman to win an Indy Car race in Japan in 2008. She also placed 3rd in the 2009 Indianapolis 500, which was the highest finish in the event's history for a woman.

She has good taste. She owns a Lamborghini Gallardo!
