So I launched an iPhone App development company awhile ago and we're getting tons of work.  That's a good thing ;)  The other part of that good thing is we need more developers!  So if you or someone you know is a great freelance iPhone/iPod Touch developer and wants to rock some work for us, send in your info.  We develop all kinds of Apps from Video Games to Twitter clients.  So what ever your specialty we want you *points finger in your direction, but like not threateningly*.  Please send any samples, your cost and/or your resumes to jobs@app-dragon.com

Rockin'

So for all the people who wanted to know exactly what craziness I've been doing with this computer build, here are the nuts and bolts of it. I got a new HP mini tower with these stats:

- I7 940 CPU

- 12 GB of DDR3 RAM

- Blu-Ray Player w/ DVD-RW

- Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium

- 1TB HD

- nVidia 9600 GS

I really dug this system and installed Windows 7 64-bit Beta. But for some reason it kept blue screening. I had a HD crash, they were two 500GB drives in RAID 0, and couldn't keep the thing stable. So I decided to rebuild a computer with the guts of the HP. In the process I had to buy more than I thought I would but now as of today I'm done!!! The new "Epic" system is the following:

- Antec P183 Case

- Antec 750 Watt Power Suppy

- Asus P6T Mobo

- I7 Core 940

- 12 GB DDR3 RAM

- GeForce 275 GTX

- Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium

- New 1.5TB Raptor HD

- Blu-Ray Player w/ DVD-RW

This baby screams! I'm also thinking of snagging my other GeForce 275 GTX from my current computer to rock the SLI :) This build took way too many trips to Fry's but in the end it was worth it. Now bring on Diablo III.

Well it's time for me to head out from New York city to my home base in LA.  Man I had a blast!  The Diggnation live show was not only super fun but there was a really cool cameo from @chrishansen... AMAZING!

Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht made their official late night television debut on LNWJF tonight and turned it into a mini episode of Diggnation (if you've never seen Diggnation before, you must check it out). Even Russell Brand got in on the action. Beers spilled on laptops, Macs outnumbered Alex's lone PC, and everyone had a (nerdy) great time.
]]>Updating My Sitehttp://www.alexalbrecht.com/blog/2009/5/15/updating-my-site.htmlAlex Albrecht2009-05-15T03:42:03ZHey everyone!  So I know what you're thinking, "Hey Alex what's up with your site?"  Well good question.  After checking it out on Diggnation I realized that I need a new site design.  So over the next few weeks I'll be poking around figuring out what I want this site to be.  So hang in there!
