waiting for the goodness
well i got my itouch, and i jailbroke it, and it is pretty much (that’s a lie, actually, there’s no pretty much about it - it’s) the coolest gidget i’ve ever had. bar none. best.
anyways, i saw that apple rereleased the oregon trail in the app store, and of course i wanted all the ridiculous dysentery and broken legs and wheels (in full, redrawn color!). so i searched for the keyword ‘oregon’ in installous, and next to trail was this app from google maps that is basically non-internet gps. it is the entirety of the united states mapped out, along with street views and reverse directions, and goddamned everything i have ever dreamed of in a navigation device.
since the regular gps that comes with all the touches only works if i’m in a hotspot, i kind of have no use for it (i mean, i can pull off at a starbucks or mcdonalds and go get directions, but who the fuck wants to do that?). but having a digitized copy of the shit, now that’s something worth its weight.
the program divides our country in two (maybe google/apple is trying to release the civil war 2.0?) down the middle, into east and west. i wanted both, but, obviously, as i live on the left coast (bitches) i was going to download the western half first. well i did, only the dope fiend who upped it to 2shared upped the eastern half in its stead. so now i can tell you where any mcdonalds in new England is, but not so much in New Mexico.
for like, two seconds, i considered paying the twenty dollars apple is charging, but then i remembered my dignity, and why i bought the thing in the first place and so now i have learned how to add apps the hard way (through the computer intead of direct download) and am waiting for a bundle of the two halves (whole?) to finish downloading so i can never be lost again.
jesus christ, the reasons for having this thing just keep piling up.
i desperately want an ipod touch. i posted my dreamcast for trade, along with a shit ton of games (over 1000, if you include the snes & genesis titles), on CL. i am sure other people already know this, but seeing as how i generally boycott the list of craig, and this is my first time ever actually posting anything, i found out some interesting rules it has - namely the fact that i cannot attempt to buy, trade for, or sell any bodies, body parts, or blood, be they human or animal.
that is fucking lame. now i have to fly to china to sell a kidney.
