Please excuse any (and all) errors with the navigation and the Photos section of my website.
I have installed and activated a a plug-in called ‘Fotobook’ and I’ve been having some navigation mishaps and errors that I wasn’t expecting. It’s a great little plug it, just need to get the styles shaped up so it’s clean as a whistle.
For the time being, please use the navigation in the sidebar on the right.
Thank you.

So, the 3G iPhone news has reared it’s promising head once again - although this post has more research poured into it, and will hopefully be a more ‘accurate’ write up of the upcoming refreshed mobile device offered by Apple.
So far, AppleInsider.com[1] and TGDaily.com[2] both report that the iPhone is going on a diet, dropping around 38 and 48 grams over it’s current 158 grams. Along with the weight loss, TG Daily reports that the phone sliming down its thickness by about 2.5mm to 9.1mm from it’s current 11.3mm thickness. Gizmodo[3] also referances TG Daily about the thinner iPhone. Apple Insider quotes the Taiwan Economic News say that “In addition to weight advantage, the latest version is also more energy efficient and externally smarter[.]” and that the “LCD screen on the phone measures 2.8 inches diagonally, a downsize from first generation’s 3.5 inches.” I personally don’t see Apple dropping the size of its multi-touch screen, I see that the iPhone’s current screen size is one of its strong selling points. It’s a great display for Apple’s Mobile Safari, as well as Video Podcasts, Movies, TV Shows, and YouTube Videos.

Alright, it’s been about 9 months since the original Apple iPhone hit the market. And with it’s 1 year anniversary just 4 months away, with out any hardware updates (As great as the 16GB model is, it’s no hardware update) the device has aged quickly in technical specifications and features.
The first generation iPhone is still an amazing device despite its dated hardware, and with the 2.0 software on the way and the iPhone SDK released earlier this year, the first generation has a lot of (software) potential ahead of it. But with a lot of the fan-fare-frenzy gone from the 1st Generation iPhone, attention has turned to software updates, hacks, jailbreaks, and unlocking the iPhone. Which gives hackers and developers alike a wonderful platform to develop applications that enhance the iPhone as a mobile Internet device. While news of these stories float the Internet and are informative, they’ve also lost their sparkle of interest in my opinion.

So, last night I was sitting on the sofa watching TV and charging my Early 2006 model Apple MacBook notebook. I finished up some work, did some surfing, chatting, etc. while waiting waiting for my battery to charge up.
I decided to pack things up around 9:30, only once I starting to wrap up my power adaptor I noticed something on my power adaptor - the cable from the power adaptor frayed and melted at the block - photos below:
