Dolphins Make Me Happy

Lately, I'm not sure if its part of a seasonal migration or something, but there seems to be a lot more dolphins in the water. And they seem to be a lot more playful. Meaning, they swim under/close to us when we are surfing and jump and twist out of the water pretty frequently. I should get pictures. They also seem to show up when we are surfing right when a huge set is about to roll in, and the dolphins always seem to ride the set waves while I try to survive the overhead+ sets. So anyways, read this today: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21689083/ Basically dolphins showing altruistic tendencies towards a surf and protecting him while in the ocean. So they know we're out there. I wonder if they hear me when I jump in the water and screech back to them. :) </happy>

double-tap it

So, oftentimes on my iphone I would unlock it and my ipod controls would come up. I thought it was a bug for a long time, since the controls went away so fast... but it is a feature! It turns out you can access the iphone ipod controls while the phone is locked or in a different menu than the ipod interface by double-tapping the home button! So, double tapping to wake goes directly to the ipod interface pause button... handy when people are trying to talk to you and you're listening to music! You can also double tap from any interface and the ability to fast-forward/rewind/pause comes up. Neat-o. Are undocumented features like this a reason to upgrade your firmware? This is only a iphone 1.1.1 September 2007 update feature or something.
