The World of Joel

So I didn’t post last Friday, and I may not post tomorrow, and this is all because of my second quarter of summer school finishing up this week. I have finals today, and I have another final on Wednesday. Although most schools have already started there Fall quarter, I actually don’t start my Fall quarter until the last week of September, so next week is my one free week to just relax, sleep, and catch up on some more much needed R&R time. So I apologize in advance for the next day or two, but I promise I have a lot of interesting posts to make in the days and weeks to come! For now enjoy my network of TV sites which by the way the new Fall season starts premiering shows next week, so get ready everyone!

I know I am, the countdown to the regular season is always a big deal for me. Each year I grow more and more excited for the upcoming football season, and I am hoping this year I can schedule my time more adequately to be able to sit down and enjoy a few 49ers game, like for example this Monday Night. However tonight is the start of the regular season, I will not only be watching for my fantasy team, but also because the matchup of the Colts and Saints is just to hard to pass up. So if you didn’t know already, tune in tonight for the start of another great year of football!

I have to say I was stunned when I heard what I believe was the final announcement of the Apple press gathering this morning, and that was the impending iPhone price drop. The 8GB version as many of you know has been dropped from the $599 price point to $399. What do I, a current iPhone owner have to say? Well more then anything a bit of anguish as I would have loved to have seen those price points out of the gate. Apple by dropping the price a few months after launch was saying that they wanted to force out the hard earned money of the Apple faithfuls, and now go for the general populous. It seems like extremely smart business, but then again I am sure I am not the only one who is a little upset about the whole ordeal. Not only that but you have to give those credit who wanted an iPhone but didn’t want AT&T, well now the iPod Touch seems like a great solution as well.

You have to hand it to Apple, I am a newly converted Apple lover and I am really finding myself more and more amazed. They sold me on there new iMac’s which I really want to look into getting, and there new iPod lineup is impressive. I do think that now they are at the $399 price point, this becomes even more of a solution for a new cell phone. Apple another thumbs up from me, good work.

Well my Maui trip is wrapping up, you know its wrapping up when I am working from my room this morning get myself as caught as possible on all my different ventures. However its 9:35 Hawaiian time here in the morning, the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and I am finishing up packing to head home to LAX this afternoon. I will be posting pictures sometime this week, however I get in at 11pm tonight and have class tomorrow at 9am, so this will be a long day coming up! But make sure you keep an eye out, I have over 250 pictures taken here in Maui, and I am sure I will post a few for your viewing pleasure! Well Aloha and I will talk to you all very soon!

As I said, I am in Maui writing this post today, basically to let you all know the results of my Fantasy Football draft that took place on Saturday at 6am Hawaiian time. That is some dedication I must say. But without any further introduction, here is my 07 Fantasy Football Team.
