I am happy to report that my server came in today, all 105lbs of it! I couldn't believe that thing weighed so much. In case anyone is interested in the specs of it:

Flip this house, flip this site...

Tonight I was watching a show called Flip this house, or something like that. Basically, people buy houses cheap, fix them up within 4-6 weeks, then resell them within 2-4 weeks. In the end they make a very decent profit.

iPhone Gear is almost most done. I am so eager to finish this that I can taste it.

iPhone gear.com is 90% of...

This is just a quick update for the website iPhone Gear, is 90% of the way finished. This website, in my opinion, has a good combination of community features and shopping options. My plan is to allow the community to help others to know about products, what works well, how to use certain products etc. so far the video, galleries, iphone widgets, and forums have been completed. I have not done the update to the live server yet but on my laptop these things have been done. I am considering of changing the theme/design but I will make those changes if the community indicates that should be done. I'll also began looking on hiring a few content moderators/builders. I might as well offer callout while mentioning this. The job won't offer enough pay to quit your day job but in return you will get to participate in building a great website, receive some form of salary and possibly win free iphone accessories.
