This post is a list of sorts. A list of what I’m planning to buy in the coming month(s). I’m not including all the boring little stuff like Coca-Cola or food, I mean bigger purchases. Best of all, I can actually buy all of these nice things, thanks to my partnership with RMK Studios. So here’s the list.

I love my iPhone. Actually, loved would be a better way to say it, as I no longer have it. No it didn’t break or get stolen, I simply traded it to my dad for his Blackberry. Blasphemy, right? Well I have a pretty good reason for doing this. As you all may or may not know, in order to get the magical iPhone 4 for only $199, you have to sign your soul away to AT&T for two years. Being the heavy data/text user I am, I had to take the most expensive plan, which ran at about $100 a month.

As you all may or may not know, I’m in a full-time band, and it’s been pretty successful thus far, with about a dozen shows played in the last three months or so. I’m producing the demo which I hope to release by March (More on that later). The most exciting thing though, is the prospect of a two-week long summer tour on the East coast. It’d go from New York all the way down to Florida, which is pretty exciting. It’s been my dream to be in a touring band for years now, and it might actually come true this summer

As you may have all noticed, this site frequently got listed as a malware site, and several readers complained on Twitter about it, so I finally looked into the issue. After thoroughly scanning the site and server for malware, I used the Theme Authenticity Checker, which checks for malicious bits and all, and it found a link in base64. Now on its own, base64 isn’t harmful, but it’s often used to disguise malicious links without them being visible in the code. Turns out the “malicious links” were from the TNX ads I had been using. Now, TNX is a good service and it’s already paid me around five bucks, but I can’t have it scaring away people, so I ditched the TNX ads and switched to Google Ads. While they’re not as easy to style or make unobtrusive, I’ve done what I could with them, and it doesn’t look too bad. Probably won’t pay as much, but at least I can trust Google to not do anything evil to my blog.

On Tuesday, Verizon held a press conference where the Verizon iPhone was finally announced, after years of speculation. The new iPhone is nearly identical to its AT&T counterpart, save for a different antenna design and a missing SIM slot. What does this mean for AT&T customers such as myself? Better service, and hopefully cheaper monthly rates. AT&T’s going to have to start doing something to keep its customers from running to Verizon. Competition is always good for the customers though. It’ll drive both carriers to keep making improvements.

The year 2010 came and went, pretty fast if you ask me. It started out pretty boring and mundane as usual, but got interesting rather quickly. Within the first month of 2010, I was in a band, and had a girlfriend. A month later I had yet another band and another girlfriend named Madina, who I’ve stayed with since then. I’ve had three different jobs, left a band, joined another band, left that band, rejoined a band, played five shows, with three more to come, so I’d say I’m doing pretty well. Not so well in college, but I don’t really care all that much.

What bugs me is that it’ll take me another half a year to get used to writing 2011 instead of 2010.
