I can’t wait until the new album, 808s & Heartbreak, comes out this November 25th! Perhaps I can get it sooner I just hope most of the songs are good. I say this because I was caught off guard when Kanye performed Love Lockdown at the MTV VMAs. I was disappointed because I was expecting him to bust out rapping (what happened to the Good Life & Touch The Sky?). My feelings about the song changed for the better after I downloaded it, but I still don’t it’s that good. Now, the song “Heartless” is way better in my opinion with a great beat and lyrics. The animated video looks pretty good too! Only a couple of weeks left till the album drops.

Even though I don’t own an iPhone, I’m a proud owner of an iPod Touch (My number piece of technology)

Despite the innovations the iPhone has brought to the technological scene, there’s always been simple features the iPhone/iPod Touch lacked.

One thing I expected from the iTunes app was the ability to download Podcasts. I recently read an article stating that Apple plans to add wireless podcast downloads to the iPhone! Hopefully, music videos, television shows, and movies will be next This podcast download feature will likely be released with the iPhone OS version 2.2 included with other features that have yet to be unveiled; I can’t until it comes out *sarcasm*.

I have to admit that I am a jailbreak user, and each time an update comes out you end up having to re-jailbreak which is a pain since you lose all your third-party apps and settings. Sometimes re-jailbreaking may go wrong; This happened to me two different times and I had to restore my iPod. All my data was deleted but good thing I backed up my music. Apple can take their time in releasing this update.

I’m happy with my touch as is because recently there has been an essential tool released that makes the iPhone/Touch more worthwhile (I won’t mention what it is ). It’s sad how Apple limited the capabilities of the iPhone, gradually extending it. But with jailbreaking and the use of third-party applications the capabilities of the iPhone are virtually limitless!

I’m currently busy as of this moment and I don’t have enough time to write a decent article. I was keeping an eye on the vote count for Prop 8. I was unsure whether it would pass or not. But to my surprise, the votes supporting it were overwhelmingly huge. As you can see here.

Here’s an article from AlterNet.Org:

Why the Prop 8 Gay Marriage Ban Won

The Christian right outmaneuvered gay rights activists when it came to reaching out to California’s huge minority populations.

Amid the honks and cheers of joy in the Castro and West Hollywood, there are quiet signs of anxiety and, as state election results come in, a growing sense of anguish. Something is not right in the Golden State. Even as Californians gave 61 percent of their vote to Barack Obama, a majority of them, 52 percent, voted to discriminate against another kind of minority — gays and lesbians. For a brief window that began in the bridal month of June, California queers had the right to marry, thanks to a state Supreme Court ruling, and some 18,000 same-sex couples said “I do.” Proposition 8 — a ballot initiative that would amend the state constitution to define marriage as between a man and a woman — now says “You can’t!”
