the iPhone 3G’s battery sucks…HARD

so if you’re like me, you ran your sexy-self down to the apple store on friday the 11th and waited in line for 5 hours for the new iPhone 3g. also, if you and i are indeed doppelgangers then you picked the white 16gb version and also have a puggle named buster…and great hair.

so the iPhone 3G is great. the app store, gps and 3G (when you can find it) is a winning combo for apple and those crooks at AT&T. that being said, the battery blows balls. big hairy ones.

in a given day, i usually go from a full-overnight-charge to my first low battery warning by around 3pm. weak.

earlier this week i heard that if you switch off the “ask to join networks” tab in your network settings, you can squeak out a little more precious lithium power. turns out this little tip has worked wonders for me…apparently making the wifi content to only join my trusted networks has given me a roughly 25% boost in battery life. this gives me ample time to answer each and everyone of my bootie calls.

beautiful word clouds

so recently nic posted her “wordle” and then i asked myself what the hell is wordle and then i walked down and bought a sandwich but when i came back home i googled “wordle” and found out that “wordle” is a site on the world wide aol internet.

so here’s what comes up for my blog when processed through the lower intestine of wordle.net

oh and yesisaworld only posted one so i thought i would post THREE b/c she gets to live in NYC while i’m stuck in socal and that sorta makes us even.

apparently wordle scans through whatever URL you provide and then runs some algorithm and generates a text cloud based on the aforementioned site’s word useage. i’m assuming that the larger the font the more prominent the occurrence of said word. however, if that’s true then i’ve used the word “phyllis” way way way too much.

UPDATE: ok so i just searched for the word “phyllis” on my blog and remembered that i posted this and it had 3 comments from interweb-bigshots and perhaps that explains the phyllis-action.

the one about fail

remember that one time when i forgot that you have to renew your domain name or else the internet_jesus turns off your blog?

that blew.

luckily, onelonelysuccess.com is safely registered for another year of posts about buster and replete with words from the list.

so last night, the prettygirl and i were sitting around the computer and i wanted to brag about my website and how popular i am in canada.

dutifully, i typed in onelonelysuccess.com and was greeted with a “this site is no longer available b/c some jackass didnt pay“.

looking up to me with concern, the prettygirl replied under her breath, “…fail?

i was so proud of her for dropping some ‘net slang that i could have cared less about my blog.

each one teach one, yo.
