Leo The Explorer

I just got the Explorer Jacket from Scott E-Vest. It's my new favorite - and I have pretty much everything Scott does. It's a 3/4 length jacket in a very suede-like microfiber with a lightweight quilted lining and more pockets than ever. And it just looks and feels so good. Thanks, Scott! We don't have a TWiT version of this jacket, but we do have SeV TWiT hoodies, fleeces, and hats. You can get them from the great folks at ThinkGeek. Profits from the TWiT SeV merchandise help support the show, and you'll feel good announcing that you're a TWiT to the world! And don't forget to use the TWIT coupon code when you order anything from SeV for 20% off! We now return you to Bioshock, already in progress.

LOL Colophon

For those who are interested I've published a colophon page for this site here, including a complete list of the plug-ins I am using.

Mobil Surfen und Mailen mit HSDPA

Pieter Knuvers sent me this ad appearing today in Germany...

But is it an iPod or iPhone? (Incidentally - check out Pieter's web site - is this the most wired guy in the Netherlands or what?) UPDATE: Fab writes in the comments below that this ad is a fake according to Heise.de.

I Was This Close

I came so close to unlocking my iPhone this morning, but I just couldn't pull the trigger. Shooby has unlocked his using iUnlock - the free unlocker from Harro Inc. the iPhone Dev Team. That's a picture from his phone showing T-Mobile as a carrier - he posted the news on Pownce. I got as far as running iFuntastic on the phone (Windows users should try the scarily named, iBrickr) but it didn't quite finish completely, and I just don't have the nerve to run iUnlock on it now. It would be great to cancel this AT&T account (instead of cancelling my dormant T-Mobile account), but it would be even better to show an unlocked phone to the perennially skeptical Scott Bourne. Maybe I'll get up the nerve later today.

Apple Eyes the Wireless Auction

BusinessWeek is reporting that Apple is considering bidding in the FCC's 700mhz wireless spectrum auction January 16. 

Google has also indicated it may participate. GooPhone vs iPhone at 700mhz. Or perhaps the two might band together? Interesting.
