Incipio Feather iPhone Case

Incipio Feather iPhone 3GS Case

So two weeks ago I purchased a new iPhone case. I had been using the Incase Slider for years, very happily. But I happened upon a photo of the Incipio Feather somewhere on the internet and decided I had to try it.

Twitter Avatar Contest Results!

So! Last week I announced my twitter avatar contest!

The contest officially ended today. I’d like to thank all of those who submitted entries! I received so many creative and gorgeous entries! However, I could only choose one winner!

And the winner is…

The winning avatar!

The winning avatar was done by Emanuel Sa. Thank you Emanuel, its beautiful! :)

Quick Twitter Avatar Contest

Out of boredom I’ve started a quick twitter avatar contest.

Whoever enters the best twitter avatar created from or inspired by a photo of me (my flickr photos of myself are here) will win a $50 iTunes gift card. If the winner lives in a country where I cannot give you an iTunes gift card, we will work out a suitable prize for the same value.

This contest is just for a nice avatar that does not piss me off when I see it on twitter (my twitter account). It has to have a likeness of myself, and not of any other characters or anything else. Vectors and photos will both be accepted. :)

The contest starts now, and I will allow submissions until Monday to give submitters the weekend, and the winner will be announced shortly after. You can enter as many submissions as you like.

To enter, send all contest entries to: liz[at]latherrinserepeat.org. :D

Jailbroken!

Click for a larger screenshot!

So! I took the plunge and jailbroke my iPhone 3GS last night. I have to admit that I was nervous about jailbreaking, even though I had jailbroken both my old iPhones (2G & 3G). Regardless, the process was extremely easy and went quickly and smoothly.

I was most concerned about the speed of the device after it was jailbroken. All around, I have to say, I’m very pleasantly surprised! Its still fast. Winterboard (the iPhone theming app for jailbroken iPhones) now has a setting to only load on the springboard, so it won’t slow down any apps. This makes a huge difference and the phone feels just as snappy as ever.

So far this is my most positive experience with a jailbroken phone. I just love it.

*Cinema — Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)

  • Despite my many criticisms, I still totally enjoyed it.

  • It was great to see Bumblebee kick some ass.

  • The two twin autobots were just absurd. We need more autobots, but… autobots you can actually like.

  • Same goes with the humans. I could have done without all the new humans, namely that college roommate.

  • Some of the jokes were just incredibly cheap.

  • Just about all dialogue was far, far too verbose. It was a bit exhausting. Even when someone was telling someone else to speak more clearly and concisely, the way the they were told was also way too verbose.

  • Regardless of my nitpicks, I really liked the film.
