iPhone 3G
I am hoping to get my hands on my new iPhone 3G tomorrow. Getting up early to be at Apple Store Lenox at 8am! Here's a pic of me the day I got the first iPhone in September '07.
The iPhone 3G and the avalanche of native applications is going to change everything. We are seeing a new level of connectivity. Location-based information. New types of communities. Friends where you'd thought there'd be none. How exciting to be alive now! The possibilities are unlimited...
I plan to take some pics of the scene at the Apple Store tomorrow and post them on my flickr photostream in real time.

Update:
So I walked down to Lenox Friday morning 'round 9:30 am. Walked by the AT&T store on Lenox road across from the mall. Roughly 70 people in line. Screw that, so I walked to the Apple Store inside the mall. The line was ridiculous! I couldn't even see where it started or ended. Must have been 100-200 people. No way I was waiting in that. F*** it, I said, and began walking out when I passed the other AT&T outlet inside the mall. Only 8 people in line!
The AT&T person said FedEx would be delivering 28 iPhones at around 1:30 PM. Fine, I'll wait three hours and have my new phone!
After an hour of waiting the lady comes back and says, "Yeah, um, we're not sure how many phones we're gonna be getting." Could be 0, 2, 5, 10, we don't know."
Okay, I thought to myself. I still think I'll get it. I'm only tenth in line.
An hour later the manager comes out and says, "Yeah, um, we're not going to be getting any iPhones today, so um, thank you." WTF!!! Complete B.S.
Then he said I could just keep waiting and they'll sign us up for direct fulfillment, meaning I pay now and they will deliver the phone to the store tomorrow.
I wait another hour and they can't even complete the checkout process for the first two people. Using my current iPhone I checked online to discover the iTunes server was having problems. So after three hours of waiting I gave up and went home.
iPhone 3G Launch day? More like iWait day.
Still don't have the new one, but I think I'll be able to get it within the next few days.

Called the Apple Store Lenox Square yesterday evening. He said the line is still 7 hours long. Unbelievable.

Game Over
There is a power structure in this world.
A superelite group of men rule the world. They are known as the Bilderberg Group, or the Bilderbergs. They enslave us. Their egos enslave them. And the ego is the cancer of the mind.
Watch the movie. They can't win if you inform yourself.
EndGame
Game over.
These guys control subheads such as: The Federal Reserve, The World Bank, The United Nations. The European Union, The Asian Union, The North American Union, and International Monetary Fund.
They're going down. The Revolution is Now.

Food Prices!
Hawaii is getting obliterated by food prices, vis-รก-vis oil prices and inflation.
Organic Milk: $9!
White Bread: $5!
They're gonna have to start growing their own food locally. Soon, so are we.
CNN Video
At least one individual has espoused growing food in cities! On simcity arco-type, hydroponic, skyscraping towers!

Voting
The two-party system does not function. Neither candidate has the capacity to address the real problems this country faces. $9 trillion national debt. A looming energy crunch. Inflation and a dollar that is being rejected around the world.
McCain and Obama both stand for the same thing: incompetence. Neither has even a partial grasp of the root causes of these problems. Instead, the media focus on what Obama's wife is wearing, or where McCain ate dinner. None of this shit matters!
The only candidates of any actual intelligence are Ralph Nader, Bobb Barr, Dennis Kucinich, and, of course, Ron Paul. When most people hear what these guys have to say, they like it and tend to agree. Yet, they don't vote for them. Why?
I hear people all the time saying, "yeah I love Ron Paul's ideas, but he'll never get elected." Then they say, "I'm just going to vote for Obama so McCain doesn't get elected." Or, "I'm just going to vote for McCain some Obama doesn't get elected."
What kind of bullshit is this?! Just vote for the least worst candidate? This is pathetic. The system is broken. People end up voting for people they don't even want. And they don't vote for the people they do want.
Of course they're not going to get elected–you're not voting for them! Saying, for example, "Bob Barr won't win," is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Since your vote barely counts at all anyway, you might as well vote for the person you want.
Excellent clip below.

Mushroom, Mushroom Cloud, UFO Abduction
I find it interesting that mushrooms, mushroom clouds, and flying saucers (with abduction beam engaged) all share the same shape. I wonder what it means...
