Time Once Again

It has been a fair amount of time since my last post... I actually started to write a post the other day but then my browser crashed and I didn't feel like writing it all over again. Anyways onto the news :D The official Formula One line up for the 2007 season is in: McLaren: Fernando Alonso & Lewis Hamilton, Renault: Giancarlo Fisichella & Heikki Kovalainen, Ferrari: Felipe Massa & Kimi Raikkonen, Honda: Jenson Button & Rubens Barrichello, BMW: Nick Heidfeld & Robert Kubica, Toyota: Ralf Schumacher & Jarno Trulli, Red Bull: David Coulthard & Mark Webber, Williams: Nico Rosberg & Alex Wurz, Spyker: Christijan Albers, Super Aguri: Takuma Sato & Anthony Davidson. Torro Rosso is yet to announce their drivers for 07 even though they said earlier that Speed and Liuzzi would be sticking with the team for 07. Spyker hasn't confirmed their second driver just yet seeming that Hamilton declined their 10 million dollar offer. One thing that I am worried about is Honda... They have lost their main sponsor Lucky Strike due to the tobacco advertisement ban (which is total bs) and they are still in search for a primary sponsor. I just hope they don't change the paint scheme to drastically. Another big announcement in racing news is that Speed TV will from this day on be showing the A1GP broadcasts so if you miss open wheel racing in the off season of F1 and the IRL now is your chance to jump onto this series! It used to be on very few selected networks but now it is on Speed so all can enjoy it. Another piece of Speed news is that they have teamed up with FOX to bring F1 to the American people... Fox will be doing the coverage of Indianapolis, Canada, France and Britain, while Speed covers the rest of the season in Formula One. It seems like a good idea to get Formula One to more people and I'm all for it :D In tech news: Kevin Rose spilt the beans on the Apple phone (due to be announced in January) on his popular show Diggnation. On episode 30 he mentioned that the iPhone will be running 2 batteries one for the mp3 portion and one for the actual phone, a slide out keyboard, a touch screen, it's going to be "small as shit", comes in 4 and 8 gigs, flash memory, and that all the major phone companies will be carrying it. He was right on the money with the ipod nano so his source seems to be dead on, provided kevin hasn't gotten him fired yet. Other then that... thats about all... other then my multiple computer problems this week things have been great. As of right now my only reason for still having windows is Skype and Live For Speed :) Its funny because just when I started to get somewhat good at Macromedia Fireworks I switched to Linux and was forced to use gimp, which so far seems good but I'm not familiar with it just yet. Tekken 5 was released on PS3! which is... i must admit rather tempting. Anyways thats all for this week! Thanks once again for reading but if you are still reading this on blogger please rebookmark my site as www.anorexicpillow.com which has my huge gallery and soon to come podcasts!
