The Mini Cooper Wave

Ever since I got the Mini, I decided I wanted to frantically wave at other Minis - and the result was that they were waving at me too. I got a kick out of this, and today I thought to google "Mini Cooper wave". The search results were absolutely hilarious. One guy was complaining because this Mini he passes to work each day just "doesn't get it" so he decided to keep waving until the Mini *does* get it and others saying if you don't know "the wave" to just stay out of a Mini. I don't know, I think it's cute/fun to wave. I never "officially" knew of the wave, but it just seemed like something I wanted to do - plus, it's a lot of fun! And now I know, there is indeed, technically a "Mini Cooper wave"!

Dilema - need suggestions

I decided to finally start writing my iPhone app tonight. The app I thought would be awesome to have on an iPhone for a geek. So I'm sitting at my mac mini with xcode open, and start (the attempt) to code up my application: a binary clock. Neat starter idea, right?

I get some code started, happy with this idea I came up with. Then it dawns on me - could this app already exist? It was a scary thought. As I open up iTunes, I was quite scared of even looking - sure enough it does. *sigh*

So then I decided to google some "desired" iPhone apps. I found some that people blogged about or posted comments to stories about. Every one (that I've found anyway) has been created already. *another sigh*

I need some ideas for apps. This is something I really want to do, and thought about just writing a binary clock just to say I did. Any ideas/suggestions would be great (that implying it doesn't already exist ;) )

In other very, very happy and exiting news, I officially have a maid of honor! I asked Leah just yesterday to be my maid of honor and she said yes! I'm so happy she is going to be in my wedding. There isn't any woman in this world that is more perfect.
