My favorite iPhone apps - Jailbroken

   Posted by: Jonathan Hopson   in General

If your iPhone is jailbroken, then continue following this post. If not, click here and read the instructions.

Jailbreaking your iPhone takes time and patience. In the end, it’s totally worth it. For comparison, mine is the second pic.

You get to edit the background, battery charger, and the slider. In no particular order, here’s what I like about my jailbroken iPhone.

  1. My battery charger is a Mountain Dew Can.
  2. The slider is a Nos canister.
  3. With one button, I can turn on/off my wifi.
  4. I finally get to use qik.
  5. Games that are worth downloading.
  6. The ability to use more apps for free.

There’s really not a good way to link to jailbroken apps on an unjailbroken iPhone. So iIf you’rs isn’t jailbroken, why not? If so, what do you like about your jailbroken iPhone?

  5. Weight Tracker (was free when I DL it)
  6. Tennessee Vols
  7. Sportacular
  8. AOL Radio
  9. Pandora
  10. Tap Tap Revenge - Kind of like Guitar Hero for your phone

Tomorrow, I’ll share jailbreak apps that I really love to use.

Busy week ahead

   Posted by: Jonathan Hopson   in General

After an amazingly busy weekend, this week will be just like it. With homework everyday, open house at school twice, practice 3 nights, and meetings all week (not to mention the typical week) I might be sporadic on the blogs and Facebook.

You could look at busy-ness as a bad thing, but I see it as a blessing. I am blessed to be busy. If I weren’t, then I’d be bored out of my mind.

Worth checking out

Just last year, Georgia was supposed to beat down Tennessee. Now they’re #1 and on October 11, they’ll drop in the polls - again.

Lifehacker posted this article about pets.com founder moving on from life’s mistakes. Great read.

Do you have “It”? I do and you can too.

Clutch players have it too.

What do men really think? Check out these modern man stats.
(I agree with this: 66% say a man should never stop playing video games)

The day that was…yesterday

   Posted by: Jonathan Hopson   in Family, General

I’m still amazed at all that happened yesterday. I woke up and took Cody to Spring Hill Elementary School to meet his teacher for the school year. Alicia took Brianne & Dalten to Marvin Wright Elementary School. After about an hour or so, the papers were signed and the kids were ready for another year of school. It’s surreal how fast the kids grow up and are all in school.

During last night’s football practice, Dalten was the left tackle on the O-line. He flew out of his 3-pt stance and really hit the guy in front of him. After a while, the DT in front of Dalten ran a different direction so he wouldn’t get hit. As for Cody, he got a promotion on his pee wee squad. He is now the fullback and the coaches sent home plays for me to work with him on. He’s always liked to run over people. Now he gets to do it with pads on.

With each new day, we create tomorrow’s nostalgia (or something like that). I can’t wait to see what God has in store for me today.

We made it to Asheville

   Posted by: Jonathan Hopson   in General

We’re sitting in the McDonald’s across from Biltmore. It’s the prettiest one I’ve ever seen.

Some things heard in the car so far:
Alicia: “Give me the bird”
Cody after drinking Cheerwine: “That’s the best drink ever.”

More to come

Glad when I saw this

Those customers who bought iPhones since May 27 and later will be eligible to turn in their phones and get a new iPhone — and a refund, less a 10 percent re-stocking fee, for what they paid for the first-generation iPhone, Siegel said.

“We want to be fair to people who only recently bought the current iPhone and who want to upgrade to a new iPhone,” he said.

“So what we’re saying is, if you bought the current iPhone on or after May 27, and you turn it in before Aug. 1, we will set you up with a new one and you’ll start a new two-year contract.”

Bought mine on June 3 to test it out and wasn’t really sure AT&T would do that. Good news for me!
