Alan Wake Trailer:

Alright, so the game Alan Wake comes out tomorrow and I'm pretty psyched to try it out.  I'll probably just rent it though.  So yeah, I'll post the link to the trailer down below if you haven't already seen it and I'll definitely review it as soon as I can and tell you what I think.

Spirit Jailbreak for iPhone 3.1.3, iPod Touch 3.1.3, and iPad 3.2:

Alright, so my iPod has been jailbroken for a while now and I originally used redsn0w, but it took a while and I had to do a lot of firmware crap.  Spirit is the fastest, newest, and most efficient jailbreak I have used though.  I have jailbroken many of my friends iPods using Spirit and my own and it's great and very fast.  I highly recommend using this to anybody that ever wants to jailbreak their iPod literally by the touch of a button.

Here is a link to download the Spirit jailbreak:  http://www.techlivez.com/2010/05/download-ipad-jailbreak/

1.  After clicking the link, just scroll down a little bit and you will see a message that says:  "Download Spirit Jailbreak for Windows | Filesize:  4.4 MB".  The words "Download" and "Spirit" will be highlighted in blue.
2.  Just click where it is blue and it will start to download immediately.
3.  When the download finishes, click "Run" and Spirit will open.
4.  There will be a button that says "Jailbreak", but you can't press it unless your device is plugged in.  If your device is not plugged in, there will be a message under where it says "Jailbreak" that says "Please connect device".
5.  If your device is plugged in, just click "Jailbreak" and an image will pop up on your iPod that almost looks like one of the Mac backgrounds.
6.  A little bar will be stretched across the screen and it just has to fill up and then your iPod jailbreak is finished.

It literally takes about 2 minutes to jailbreak your iPhone, iPod, or iPad with Spirit.  Your jailbreak is just a click away.  What are you waiting for?

Second Missions Trip to the Dominican Republic:

Alright, so last year I went on a missions trip with my family to the Dominican Republic.  It was something we called "A Vacation with A Mission" because for the first three days, we stayed at what the brochures and the internet said to be "The Most Family-Friendly Resort In the Dominican".  The last two days, we did missions work.  What was funny about the resort was what the brochures and internet said about it.  We got there and ran straight to the beach to figure out that it was a topless beach.  We thought that was pretty funny, but lets just say we hung out by the pool for the rest of the time.  Anyways, this year I am going back but with a group from my church this time.  My whole family will be there this time too, just like last time, but this year there will be surgeries performed.  My dad is a nurse anesthetist which means he puts people to sleep for surgery.  So that is what he will be up to.  We will not be staying in a resort this time, it is all missions work.  So yeah, we will leave on June 12th and I'll talk more about it when I get back.

Mallory Had to Leave the Band:

So yeah, this post isn't going to be too long and in depth or whatever, but Mallory had to leave to the band :(  We are all gonna miss her awesome voice and personality that showed when she sang.  I know I just made that sound like she died, but no worries, she is thankfully still alive.  She just had to leave us.  :(  We miss ya Mal-Mal!  You will always have a spot in the band.

Mello - Yellow's New Can Design:

This post is pretty pointless, but I thought this was cool so... yeah.  Alright so I love Mello - Yellow.  When I went to go get one out of the fridge one day, I didn't see any, but Mom said she had just put them in there.  I still didn't see any.  She said they got a new can design, so I went back to the fridge and looked again and they were there.  I was originally looking for the old can, but now the can is yellow.  I really like the new can and I think its pretty sweet.  So yeah, that's pretty much it.  Mello - Yello has an awesome new can design.

P.S.  Sorry about the pointlessness.

iCall on the iPod Touch:

iCall is an awesome new app I found.  I was just looking around in the app store for stuff to download, and I came across it.  This app is completely free and easy to use.  It is pretty self explanatory.  It is an app that uses the internet to make a phone call anywhere in the U.S. or Canada.  This app requires internet.  You need a microphone to talk back in a phone call though.  I actually just ordered some new earphones from Apple.  I got the ones with the microphone on them, and I am pretty excited to test it out.  I have called somebody to see if I could at least hear somebody without the earphones, and I could.  I just couldn't say anything back.  So yeah, it is a great app and I definitely recommend it... if you have a microphone that will work with your iPod.

The Damascus Project Couldn't Play at Wednesday Youth Group - May 12, 2010:

Well, when I got to the church early for practice yesterday, all of the sound equipment and plugs and everything was put away and all the outlets were covered up.  Jenna noticed my confusion and said that we obviously weren't gonna be playing tonight because the church had been using the sound system for a Mother-Daughter Banquet and they never put the stuff back up.  Plus, Jenna was pretty sick and congested and Mallory couldn't be there so even if everything was up and ready, we wouldn't have been able to play.  We were all annoyed about the sound system, but everybody gets sick and we can't control that.  So yeah, we will be playing the same songs I listed in the post right before this one next week when we play on Wednesday so next Wednesday when I would usually post something about the effects I use for the songs and what not, I'll just put a link that refers you back to that post.
