So as you all know, from my last entry, I am now back in the US. And boy oh boy am I glad to be here. Sheez, I couldn’t even get good orange juice in Taipei. Jeez. But I never really knew how much I depend on the little things such as red vines, red bull, and orange juice haha.

I am very happy to be back but I was not happy to travel back. Jeez a 12 hour flight! for those of you who have not done this before it is the worst experience ever. All you can do for 12 hours is watch a bunch of crappy movies here is what I watched:

Echelon Conspiracy (crap)
Dragon Ball Evolution (crap)
The first 15 minutes of that Hannah Montana Movie (new level of crappiness)
Eureka Episode where the house goes crazy (pretty good)

And then after that I still hade 7 hours to kill! since I was tired of crap movies. God I really want to take a supersonic jet. I bet one of those concord Jets could have gotten me home much quicker and more comfortably. The only problem is I would have to give all of the money that I earned in the last year to get on one. I really don’t understand why they have to make flying economy class so amazingly uncomfortable but that is the way it is. and 12 hours of it is just too much. I hate flying.

But yes, so what have I been doing since landing in the United States of America. Hmm Hmm Hmm. Well I have been completing www.hendeavor.org. Yes I did that. Well there is a graphics designer doing the…graphics and someone else created the content. But I am the one that put it all together. That’s right! I am the glue.

Other than that I have been playing with my new Palm Pre! I really really love it. There are two problems that I have with it though. First, it has very low processing power. It takes forever (forever=2 second load time) to load up apps. And Second I think it is slightly too small but for some people that would not be a problem. Other than these two minor issues the phone is amazing. It is like an iPhone except I don’t have a hateful relationship with it. I don’t feel like it is furthering some agenda to get itunes on every PC in the world so that somehow Apple can take over the world and spy on everyone (like in Echelon Conspiracy).

I love the Pre though. You want to put music on it? plug it into your computer and drag the music over using WINDOWS EXPLORER or whatever the mac thing is called. No random application between my computer and the phone. If I want to do more than one thing at a time I can do it! If I want to take out the battery I just pop off the back and take off the battery.

The last thing I love about the Palm Pre shows that I am somewhat of a tech elitist. I like how it is not all that intuitive. If you don’t know the gestures to move around within an application your pretty screwed with the phone. I like that haha. I want people to have to know something in order to use the phone. Apple makes things too easy! but whatever.

But yeah I’m back! in my home country it’s wonderful.

If you are new to my blog, which you probably aren’t, you are probably wondering why the US is my home country but my blog is called the Ranting Jamaican. Well both of my parents are Jamaican and therefore I am. But I have actually never even set foot on that little Island called Jamaica. But that is an issue I hope to rectify in the near future.

Anyways! Peace out ya’ll and the best part of traveling is coming home!
