STILL CAN'T FIND IT.

i can't find the battery charger for my camera. i don't even remember the last time i really had it. well...i guess i had it in tahoe....because i remember bringing it there. i remember doublechecking the room at the cabin and nothing was left. gosh.

i really wanted to take pictures and even some video of this weekend. i'm not currently in the position to purchase a new charger so thats out of the question. that is so weak.

todays practice for gentwo went pretty awesome. definitely a good time. and its definitely gonna be fun to watch.

lately i've been putting the real estate venture on hold because of the show. the other week i made some business contacts at a chamber of commerce mixer was pretty interesting. it wasn't what i thought it would be but i guess those are the swings.

still debating whether or not to get my real estate license. if i do its going to be some heavy hustling trying to make some deals. what am i talking about? its going to be heavy hustling either way i go. for a newbie its always tough but i'm ready to start moving some mountains.

when i got home it was already way past midnight and my computer said it was wednesday. i guess i was just really confused and thought LOST aired while i was at practice. i looked for the episode to download and found nothing. i looked for when it was supposed to air...and the website said wednesday. i was like, "WTF!" then how come i can't get the episode? then i realized it was NOW wednesday and the night before was tuesday. so...it airs TONIGHT. what a loser.

i spent a couple hours of today looking for a way to utilize the wifi over at starbucks for no cost. last year or the year before a couple friends of mine(slim/supreme soul & rich/[n]ex[t]) phaze told me a maintenance tech password for the tmobile hotspot which was pretty cool cuz i was always at a starbucks with my laptop. but after starbucks switched over to att i knew that was over.

while working at apple i found out a kind of a hack to use using safari and mac to spoof an iphone development connection. i checked to see if that still worked and found out that it doesn't.

i did find something. it seems that if you purchase a starbucks card and register it you can use the free wifi at starbucks 2 consecutive hours a day just as long as you registered or loaded a balance on an existing registered starbucks card in the last 30 days. i read some more and found that it doesn't work multiple times a day...but whos to stop you from registering a different starbucks card.

i realized that you can just use the money you were going to use to purchase coffee to buying a starbucks card, register it, and then buy your coffee. seems simple enough but i'm thinking its a little more complicated. do you have to already be connected to register the card? or can you do it all from starbucks in the same visit. one of these days i'm just going to have to try. or find someone who as att home service and knows their login information and is willing to let me use it.

i know i know...the question is why don't you just go home and use your incredibly fast and secured home wireless. well...i live in an att 3g dead zone. i have to leave my phone in certain places throughout my room just to get a signal...and its not even guaranteed to give me a clear call. its pretty weak. but its the price i had to pay for my awesome 3g iphone. googlemaps has been my savior too many times to name.

dang i didn't intend on this one being long.
