Steve Jobs Apple Store Tribute – San Luis Obispo CA

Zach — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 05:06:35 +0000

I went downtown to the nearest Apple store to figure out some details about the launch of the new iPhone 4S and if I was eligible for an upgrade. Luckily, an upgrade is available for me and I get to buy the new iPhone on the release date! So after classes on Friday, I will be at the Apple Store purchasing MY FIRST iPHONE.
While I was down there I was the first member of the San Luis Obispo community to leave a note on the front of the Apple Store thanking Steven for all his hard work.

Today at school, less than 24 hours after Steve Jobs’ passing, I wore this shirt and button in honor of Steven. I’m horrible at putting my feelings into words, but I’m going to do my best:

Steve Jobs was a man of many inventions. He is the creator of #1 computer animation company Pixar and the lengenday Apple Inc. He is a true visionary and role model for all. As his ideas flourished and the iPod, iPhone and iPad were released, Steven became a some what immortal being as he kept creating the next best thing. No, I was not one of those fanboys at every keynote screaming and gasping at every word he said, but it would be ignorant of me, or anyone, to not pay respect to the way he paved for the world of technology. I hear a lot of Android and Windows users who brag about their PC and phones and how much more power and efficient their machines are, but it was Steven who was responsible for a majority of the technology used in today’s devices. His drive to continue to out do himself and creative thinking is what was most admirable about this man. Despite whether you are a Mac or PC, iPhone or Droid, this man deserves the utmost respect you possibly have to offer.

Now, someone who this directly affected, is the person that got me involved and blogging and technology, internet superstar iJustine. She jokingly added an “i” to her name for her love of Apple products. I’ve been following her since 2007 and went back and found all her videos involving Steve and had a reminiscent moment and took a stroll down memory lane. Join me, will you?

NEW iPHONE 5 RELEASED TODAY!

Zach — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 22:16:31 +0000

well… at least that was what we were expecting. Today, in Cupertino, CA, new CEO Tim Cook held a press conference titled “Let’s Talk iPhone.” Rumors have been spreading like wild fire since July about the release of the new handheld with a larger screen, redesigned exterior and much more. However, Apple failed to meet the expectations releasing a handset identical to the old model with a new camera and processor. Oh! and not to forget our new personal assistant Siri, a pre-loaded application to manage e-mail, SMS, iCal, and phone calls all with voice command. I will remain a skeptic until I try it since I have yet to experience a pleasant voice command conversation with out repeating myself several times to the stupid machine.

What is exciting in Apple new however os the new iOS 5. Which offers over 200 new features to the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Click here for an extensive list of all features.

and the countdown begins…

As that time rapidly approaches, I began my packing for my big move back to SLO in ONEWEEK. I thought it’d be fun to turn my packing vlog into a bit of an instructional video for the incoming freshman on what is important to bring for the upcoming school year.

I must say, even though I have done this once already, I’m stressing out quite a bit. I’m living in an apartment this year instead of a dorm so it’s definitely a bit different so naturally, I’m overreacting and freaking out! Oh well, nothing worth losing hair or sleep over.

ZACH AFTER DENTIST!!!

Zach — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 21:53:10 +0000

So I think the videos pretty much explain it all. So I’ll give you all a chance to watch those…

So its finally done, and I’m off my pain medication. Only 2 days after the surgery and I rewarded myself with a trip to the promenade and got myself a new pair of shoes and some hoodies from the Vans outlet. All-in-all, I’m happy with the way the surgery went, and my speedy recovery.

COUNTDOWN TO MOVE OUT: 12 DAYS

LAST MEAL WITH WISDOM TEETH!

Zach — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 06:15:42 +0000

By the time most of you read this I will have already been put under, cut up, and in the recovery room, but I just finished my last meal that I was able to chew with my wisdom teeth! I went ahead a recorded the momentous occasion for you all to enjoy!

Now, I am a little concerned… this operation will be a lot of firsts for me… first time being numbed, first time I’ve gotten a tooth pulled, first time getting knocked out, first time getting hooked up to an IV and first time on any major pain medications. So ya, I really haven;t had anything major happen to me… Now some of you may say that getting your wisdom teeth pulled is a very minor surgery but for someone who hasn’t had more than a sprained ankle let alone a broken bone or cavity, having four impacted wisdom teeth removed sounds like a big deal to me! Wish me luck and look for more post-op footage later!

And we’ll all float on, okay

Floating the river: a right of passage in every Mantecan’s life. I was lucky enough to take my two best friends out on their first floating adventure and it was a definite success! Losing shoes, circled by hawks and getting snagged on fallen trees are all natural in a day with Zach, Lorie, and Becca! I think its safe to say we all had a good time and look forwar to hopefully making this a tradition with all the friends!

Starbucks Summer Love

Zach — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 04:15:07 +0000

So summer is finally here! After a grueling spring quarter at Cal Poly what’s a better way to spend summer than drink your miseries away?! IN STARBUCKS OF COARSE! I have discovered a variety of fun drinks to get from Starbucks that have comforted me through these unfortunate grades such as Iced Black Tea Apple Juice, White Raspberry Mocha, Tuxedo Mocha, and Passion Tea Lemonade. With all these refreshing drinks there is sure to be one that fits your mood! After participating and winning a few prizes through Starbucks’ online scavenger hunt, SRCH, I am more reluctant in purchasing drinks from them.

AND now that I have a MyStarbucks Reward Card, I’m working on upping my Rewards level! I just started so I have only 1 star but soon my rep will grow and I will have my own Starbucks GoldCard! Register your own card here!
