Exit171… it’s all about the journey

How is it I DID NOT buy these stocks years ago?? Yeah, I’m still kicking myself for that. Either way, I’m lovin’ my iPhone more everyday (even with firmware v1.1.1)…

Starbucks to spread 50 million pieces of iTunes love

In order to promote its new partnership with Apple and the Wi-Fi Music Store, Starbucks plans to give away 50 million iTunes songs to US customers. Between October 2—the launch date of the Wi-Fi Music Store capabilities at select Starbucks locations, according to a separate announcement of the company’s today—and November 7, the coffee kings at about 10,000 stores will hand out roughly 1.5 million free song downloads per day. That’s a lot of songs… and coffee.

I recently picked up a copy of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection and figured I’d try out Contribute CS3 on Windows XP.  As expected, the app is incredible.  I’ve been using Ecto on Mac OSX to post to Exit 171 for the past couple years, but Contribute CS3 is a very nice alternative.

I’ve been hooked on Facebook lately and have been moblogging with my iPhone when I’m in New York City. I’ve decided to make my pics viewable by anyone, even if you don’t have a Facebook account (which you should!). Pics here:

I had an interesting day in NYC today… attended a meeting at the New York Stock Exchange and was able to get onto the NYSE floor for the closing bell. Got to see Brad Garrett from “Everybody Loves Raymond” up close and also met NYSE CEO John Thain. Brad was an absolute riot (and one tall dude)!

Much excitement here in the Dipasupil household… a rare photo of the entire family (from Kyle’s 6th Birthday Party)…

Kyle’s turning six soon. Amazing how fast time flies…

The 80th Annual Feast of San Gennaro in Little Italy is now in full effect until September 23rd. I haven’t been there in years, but will definitely be making the trip this year. Highly recommended!!

Too funny. I could use this in my own house.

Okay, I fixed my WordPress issues and you can now comment on my posts. Fire away!

If you do post something, there may be a delay in seeing your comment. I still need to moderate the queue, due to all the spam. I actually had to delete almost 3,000 comments (all spam) in order to get things working again.
