My first iPhone app was released today in the iTunes store!! I’m so pumped! If you’ve never seen Guy on a Buffalo on you tube before, here you go:

You’re welcome.

So now what the world needed was a sound board so you can play your favorite parts of the songs any time! This app has the first two Guy on a Buffalo videos. There are two more and we’re working on another app to include those.

Here’s a screenshot of my app on iTunes from apple.com:

Here is a link to get there.

I’m super excited! We’ll see what craziness comes of this.

Here are my birthday plans:

CHECK – Thank my brother for the sweet book
CHECK – Test drive 2011 BMW 335i DOUBLE CHECK. I was rippin’ around a roundabout and the salesman said swear words ha ha ha
CHECK- Get haircut from Molly at Sport Clips
CHECK- Make progress on my wonderful business
CHECK- Eat at a fancy pants restaurant with my parents
CHECK- Hang out with my buddies down here in P-town a.k.a Provo
WORKING ON IT- Buy myself a Piano if I don’t have one by the end of the day Ha!

Love,

Ethan

Hey all hope you’re ready for more silly. My ward had a “service auction” recently where people do acts of service for one another and give the money paid or cans of food donated to charity. The service I put up for auction was to write a rap for someone. The buyer was a musical friend named Hannah. I did a short interview to get to know her better and wrote/sang/animated this. She really likes Lady Ga Ga and Moose.

Here’s a commercial I just finished for Parker Planners. I hope it can make a few people laugh, a few people join the facebook page, and a few more find a planner that is very useful for them.

Here is Parker Planners post # 2 everyone! Enjoy the randomness. Today I ran into my friend Bryan Bennett on campus and we talked for almost an hour. He co-founded Mealdrop, a company that produces software to allow people to order food from their college campus eateries and have it delivered to a designated location close by for pick-up. Pretty cool stuff! He recently graduated and is giving it all he’s got. Fun to run into someone in a similar spot as I.

Yes it is. I was writing our weekly company newsletter and I wanted to honor what day it was. Wikipedia says it’s a day for programmers to rejoice and relish the fact that they are the most powerful people on earth (paraphrased).  In other news and in honor of my dad who spoke Navajo on his LDS mission, the US once used Navajo people to speak code in WWII.

Wonder what he’s sayin?

I saw Leap Year recently, pretty good. It has the girl from enchanted.

Sometimes when rappers want to see whose rhymes are superlative, they “battle”. It’s non-violent.

Ever seen it? It’s really good, very very highly good. It actually supports the traditional family which practically nothing and no one does these days.

Eric and I went last weekend with some friends. They were a little more prepared than we to see the movie. Here they are at Sonic after the flick. That’s Woody, Ken, and of course Barbie. Ken and Barbie are actually married which makes it even funnier.

This is a way cool movie. Very impressive. It really didn’t feel like 3 hours.

My good friend Janie Thompson says that as a nation “we’ve let old man Satan just take control of Hollywood”. To a large degree I think she’s right. As one of my accounting professor’s said, “PG-13 means about 13% of those movies are worth watching”. I agree whole heartedly with that, too! For the most part I think movies are painstakingly calculated and engineered to get you to watch them and gradually descend into a mire of filth, darkness, and slime.

Sounds like I’m a big movie watcher! Since my mission I think I’ve set foot in a movie theater 4 times.

However, The Blindside is actually worth watching. I was surprised. It depicts a happily married couple that talks about things and can come to agreements. They decide to let a rough young man stay at their expensive home out of love.

What? Hollywood let this one slide, I guess.
