Well today is President's Day or Washington's Birthday, depends on where you live I guess.

Washington's Birthday is the official name designated to what many of us know as President's Day. During the month of February the birthday of two of our greatest President's takes place. Both George Washington who was born on Feb. 22nd and Abraham Lincoln born on Feb. 12th.

However, Washington's birthday has been publicly celebrated since he was in office, before Abraham Lincoln was even born. Much of the debate over the name of the holiday springs from the fact that state's can follow their own holidays how they see fit and many of them chose to also honor Lincoln, calling the celebration President's Day.

It was in 1968 that the term President's Day came up for legal consideration in the Congress but was shot down, though the holiday was moved to fall between the two President's birthdays. Again in the 1980's there was a resurgence of the term with advertisers which solidfied the holiday name in American culture. Today, few Americans perfer to call the holiday Washington's Birthday in lieu of President's Day.  Here is a short video on the history of the holiday.

lastly, with all the Obama Mania going around, I would like to say.  This is not a day to celebrate all Presidents, only Washington and Lincoln.  This is not a day to celebrate Obama.  This is not Obama day.  That would be every other day ending in y according to CNN.  So lets use this day to celebrate our 1st and 16th presidents.

Lastly the video of the day.

Well for those of you who do not know, I have an iPhone.  So today I'm going to talk about the iPhone.  Personaly if this is not the greatest gadget around. Well, you need to get out more.  First, I  started a list to the right of my applications that I have loaded on to my iPhone.  This will take a few days to get the complete list, but I plan to add a couple every day.  Of course a link back to itunes, so you may also get this app.

As for the praticality of the phone itself, not sure how I worked before I had it.  All my email is synced between my phone and my laptop.  All my contacts are synced as well.  I basicaly can perform emergency server fixes right from my phone (which I have done allready).

Lets not forget the fun here.  I have a couple of movies on it, and plenty of music.  There is also a cool car driving game, and sudoko on mine as well.  Had kept me entertained a many of times while waiting.

There are some draw backs.  No video, which I wish it had.  And no ability to record conversations, which would be cool.  I also feel that the edge network (AT&T Data Network) is not the best.  Even the 3G network could be better.

 Well those are my thoughts on this awesome phone.  I will leave you a peppy little video I found on youtube.  Oh yea TGIF even if it is the 13th.
