Summer is over….I can’t believe it. I like fall though, and look forward to working hard this season!
I bought my own domain for all of the other stuff that I do. I am running a book club, for cooking and baking! It’s called the nutmeg pantry book club. we bake stuff and talk about recipe books! I’m also facilitating some workshops for seniors at Harbourfront Community Center.

Okay! Here are some quick watercolour comics that I drew in July!

iphone stuff

January 26th, 2009 by amanda (0) Uncategorized, iphone

Not that you care, but I like to fancy myself a techie kind of girl.
I’ve been trying to SSH my iphone to the computer for ages,
and it kept timing out. Last night, I was finally able to SSH themes to my phone, and I’m really happy!
I intend to make a NANA anime theme eventually.

Anyways, my phone looks like this now.

I’m using a theme called Damino, and I am currently in love with it.

I’m trying to get a lockscreen that looks like this because it’s -beautiful- and I love it. I think I’ve found the way to do it at mytriniphone but it’s not working on my phone!

I will get it to work. The reason I like my iphone is not because it’s such a great phone,
but because it can keep me entertained with all of the modifications I can add to it.

Jailbreake, of course.

    rant: best buy

    December 30th, 2008 by amanda (1) rant, tech

    Today I had a simple goal. To price match this object:

    http://www.thesource.ca/estore/product.aspx?language=en-CA&catalog=Online&category=ipod_clockradio&product=1212025

    A sony alarm clock radio for my iphone. It was retailing at Best Buy for$99.99, but was on sale for $79.00 for Boxing Week. Since they were sold out at The Source, I simply wanted to price match it, and buy it.

    For Christmas, I had gotten a ihome speaker dock. I wanted an alarm clock radio, though.

    I went to three Best Buy’s and one Futureshop in desperation. Even the future shop, where there was NO SALE, was sold out. Even though it was retailing for $109.99! Despite being told that they had “lots” at Best Buy, at 9:50pm, when I went there was none. I can’t belive that this is so hard to get a hold of. The sale isn’t -that- good. Best Buy has other, cheaper docks on sale. Is everyone trying to price match? Does the world hate me?

    All I know is that I have 2 more days to try and find a store that actually still carries this.This irks me so much. On Saturday, I was in Best Buy beside a stack of at least 30. Of course, that was before I saw The Source flyer, for $49.99.

    I will not give up. I will return victorious.
