Thank you.
I received an email today from TomTom stating that the app for iPhone is now available and starting at $99! Yes! Guess who’s going to have GPS?! What what?! More to follow…

Matt Braunger, I love you.
I’ve had a bit of an iTunes addiction since I got my iPhone 3G last fall. It’s just too darn easy to download music, movies and TV shows (thank you 3.0) and podcasts straight from my phone and into my collection and now I can do it without even being connected to WiFi.
To pass the time at work I enjoy listening to comedy albums for several reasons:
- It makes editing meeting minutes so much more enjoyable.
- I love comedy and laughter and this combines both loves.
- The average album is roughly 50 minutes so I can listen to one whole album ( laughing the whole time) and almost a full hour of work has past.
I spent countless hours (and dollars) searching iTunes weekly for new comedy albums or old comedy albums that I’ve never heard and I enjoy discovering new comedians as well that I can add to my list of favorites. So today I looked at the comedy genre and found a whole slew of new albums that have been released in the past month or so (I’ve been traveling and haven’t kept up the past few weeks). I started going through them one by one and listening to the previews of each track to get a feel for the album and the comedian since I had only heard of two of them before and I wasn’t sure how funny they were.
Right off the bat I found a good one — first try. It got 5 stars, all good reviews, and the preview tracks I heard all sounded promising. But I kept searching. I knew that there was probably only one really good one and I was determined to find it. I went through two more, then three, and after the fifth one… I stopped. They all sucked — except that first one. So I downloaded it and then went to lunch.
Lunch was great, I got back and did my review of the restaurant on Yelp and then starting editing meeting minutes (again — I hate the day to day) and it dawned on me… I had a new comedy album to listen to. So I scrolled through my iPod until I found the newest addition — Matt Braunger and his comedy album, Soak Up the Night.
Holy crap this guy is hilarious — and I mean HI-LAR-IOUS. Hilarious. He starts the album out talking about his uncle reacting to being told by Matt that he was a comedian like he had some unbelievable job such as being a ninja or a unicorn hunter and ends with reasons that owls are not good pets. Download his album or buy it in stores right now! In fact I’ll save you the trouble of Googling it — here is a link: Click me!
Matt Braunger — please make more comedy albums that I can listen to. Thank you.

This has got to be the greatest thing ever.
