I did a live Tour on Kyte.tv of the App Store as soon as I got the phone activated(a little painful). It was a fun experience, it was pretty engaged as few of my friends were excited to be part of the unboxing/tour. This means I am definately doing more live Kyte.tv podcasts and videos.

I did my first gadget video on Kyte.tv. iPhone 3G came out today (July 11th) and as an iPhone fan I bought my self a black 8GB iPhone 3G. So far I love it, hardware wise it feels lighter and more comfortable in your hands. Sound quality during call and speaker phone is much improved from my limited experience. The App store is just amazing. I also have part two coming up of the iPhone App Store walkthrough.

I have been waiting for this weekend for quite a few months now. The day Startup Weekend Portland was announced I was very excited and have been looking forward to it ever since. I have been following Startup Weekend in other cities and the way it has been evolving from city to city for a while.
Today was the second day of the three day event. On Friday we had a small session between 6 - 9 PM, today was the 12 hour productive day going from 9 AM - 9 PM, and tomorrow will be the final chapter going from 9 AM - 6 PM.

I have been part of FIRST as a participant, volunteer, mentor and a Judge for the last 8 years now. It has been a big part of my life and its has set the foundation of my passions. There are many people who still don’t know what FIRST exactly does, some have never even heard of it. Ill do my best to explain what FIRST is and how and why I have been involved with it in the past few years.
