iPhone 3GS

I have just had a new iPhone 3GS. I've had a iPhone for nearly two years, it is easily the best phone I've ever had, until now!

The iPhone 3GS is eveything I need in a phone. Big memory (16gb), iPod, loads of applications, video, MMS, copy & pasting and forwarding.

The battery life could be better and the camara could be bigger than 3mp, but these are trivial things.

So for the future of mobile phones, get the new iPhone 3GS.....

Avatar

Over Christmas Nuch and I went to see the lastest film from James Camaron called Avatar.

First of all I have to say it was superb, real life and CGI seamlessly blend together. We saw it in a normal theatre, but if you get chance to see it i
n 3D, then see it in that format. You can tell in 2D that the film as been set up for the 3D format.

The story is simple, earth 22nd century and all resources have pretty well run out. A new planet as been found that as a resource needed on earth, but the locals aren't giving it up without a fight. Enter our hero who is taking the place if his murdered twin brother in a project that as created clones of the local inhabitants and are able to link to them through mind control. Too cut a long story short he goes native and helps protect the local tribes.

Definately a film to see before you die, I may go and see it in 3D soon.

what's with the weather?

We've had this cold snap now for over three weeks, we had a whitish Christmas and today the snow came back with avengence!

The outlook for later on in the week is for more heavy snow and very cold temperatures.

One good thing is, this could mean a return to seasons, cold winters and maybe hit summers, let's hope!

Lights in the Sky


Last night just as I was going to bed (12.15am), I heard fireworks close to the house, so I opened the front door to check it out.

Due east I saw a orange shape in the sky, I immediately thought it was a plane and went to bed, not thinking anything about it. In the morning when I spoke to my Mum, she had seen several such things, also my sister on the canary Islands saw lights in the sky too. Several of the news services are also reporting similar sightings.

One explanation are chinese lanterns, maybe!
