iPod/iPhone firmware update 1.1.4 released

Just connected my iPhone to iTunes and downloaded the 1.1.4 update. So far a little disappointing. This is the text when confirming the download. No new toys as of yet.
Come on apple, I salivate for new App features and functionality
Please give me, flash support (when I want it)
I would also love to have a button on my front page to automatically conserve battery life. (e.g. turn off bluetooth, wifi, and reduce the screen brightness.)

iPhone SoftwareVersion 1.1.4
This version of the software includes bug fixes and supersedes all previous versions. For feature descriptions and complete instructions,

Guerrilla Gardening in the hood

Tell me this image is photo chopped!? Either way, I found it via this article on Guerrilla Gardening. The basic idea, plant and turn the world green where ever possible. Think, below gutters, etc. To see the more hit up this site. http://www.guerrillagardening.org/

I was "one" of the lucky ones today to actually vote in California. If you did not hear, nonpartisan voters had trouble since the primary voting process was either too confusing or that some polling offices ran out of ballots.

This is a backward image of my voter sticker I received for being a good citizen. I felt it sorta resembles communist propaganda. Just the star imagery and the in your face red.

My polling place was a really ran down, beaten, scary building in downtown San Francisco, CA. When I walked in, I expected to be gagged and taken to a back room where Leatherface would chop me into pieces. Luckily for me I had a drugged out transvestite and an old homeless looking guy to keep me company while I dropped off my ballot. Good thing I was just dropping off my vote, I do not think I could have concentrated in there.

If you have a link to your voter sticker lets see em. Please post any comments from your experience.

To create a workplace blog or not to create a workplace blog

That is the question! As my company grows and my team expands, I am finding it harder to meet and fraternize with each other. I have also noticed lots of us have some of the same interest and curiosities but do not realize it for months after getting settled.

So how do I help create a better atmosphere at work? I believe starting a small blog where my coworkers can jot potential new project ideas, questions or status changes to their workload. While we are in an essence one big "team" we can seem disconnected at times. I am going to experiment with my direct team of 8 and see what can transpire. I will keep you posted.
