Think David.net was created on September 6, 2007. It’s amazing to look back on my writing and see how I’ve (hopefully) improved since then. The blog had started as mainly technology-based, with sprinkings of my life thrown in. I really want to change that now, to exactly the opposite. I want Think David to be more about my life and opinions, with some technology thrown in (technology is still one of my main interests!) I’d like to post about school, life, and more of my thoughts.

Let me apologize for the lack of content lately, too. Unfortunately, I’ve been busy lately, but hope to post more now that I’ve changed the format up a bit. I’m rediscovering what a powerful front for thought a blog really is.

Now, Think David is the personal blog of David Owens.

It’s really exciting…if you have any questions or critique, please email us: tadapodcast [at] gmail [dot] com.

Time to call support…after being ask to hold several times the following took place:

I recently got an iPod touch, and as almost all iPod owners know, the polished aluminum back may look pretty in the store, but every scratch is easily noticeable. Not only did I want to protect the back from further scratching, I also wanted to make sure the iPod was safe whether in a bag, in my pocket, or anywhere else.

After reading a lot of reviews for different cases on forums and other websites, I decided to try the Speck Armorskin case (the black model–it also comes in clear, and camouflage, oddly enough.) It’s been great so far.
