8 Reasons Why My iPhone 5 is Better than My iPhone 4

My phone contract was up for renewal just in time for the iPhone 5 release. I was lucky to have it end around this time so I could catch the new phone. I figured I would sell my iPhone 4 for around $300 on eBay since it’s brand new (had to replace my broken one). With the iPhone 5 price at $199 with an AT&T 2 year contract I figured it was a no brainer. It took around 3 weeks for my iPhone 5 to come to me since it was really just a “pre-order”. With all of the hype there really aren’t an enormous amount of new features, although you’ll notice a lot of changes right away if your into tech products. Here are the differences I noticed and love:

Bigger Screen – Obviously there was a lot of hype and buzz about the screen being extra long. Apple extended the screen but didn’t widen it, however it’s a big difference when scrolling down pages on websites and browsing apps.
Light as a Feather – The phone is so light it almost feels like there is something wrong with it!
Siri is Fast – I didn’t have Siri with my last iPhone, but it seems faster than what I’ve seen on friends iPhone 4’s. Maybe I’m just thinking this, but either way, Siri is one of my favorite upgrades. I didn’t have the 4S, so I missed the boat on Siri.
Screen – The colors seem a lot more vibrant and the screen is very touchy, which are both positives.
Fast – The iPhone 5 has a faster processor and let me tell you, it’s very noticeable. Even my girlfriend noticed and she is by no means a techy.
Headphones – The headphones fit your ears a lot better than the older ones. I never understood why they even made headphones that hurt your ears like they did. Maybe they really did re-invent the ear buds!
Cooler – Yeah, it’s “hip”, but what I really mean is that it runs A LOT cooler than my older phone. This is a plus when you’re running a music app or some other memory intensive feature.
Charger – There are a lot of negatives with the new change from the old charger connection, but overall the new connector is much smaller and the biggest improvement is the ability to plug your phone in without trying to find the right side up!

What do I miss from my old iPhone 4?

The biggest disappointment to me is the change of the back and sides of the phone. Instead of the cool metal sides, which I absolutely love, they changed it to a graphite color. The back of the phone was changed from glass to a metal that looks like gray slate (in my black phones case). Everything else was an improvement other than those two things that I thought were awesome design features.

I just looked up the prices on eBay and realize that iPhone 5’s are going for around $1000 or more! It’s very tempting to sell my iPhone on eBay and hold on to my 4 but I think I’ll hold on to it for now. Plus, I would be stuck with the 4 for a while!

What If Money Was No Object? {Video – Alan Watts}

Alan Watts, a famous philosopher brings up a great point in this deep video titled “what if money was no object?”. It’s not an incredibly complicated thought but when you hear him discuss it in a simple fashion it really makes you think, deep. As you may have already guessed, he asks the question, “What would you do if money was no object?”. What would you do with your life if you didn’t have to worry about anything? That’s what you should be doing, even if you have a shorter life, because what’s the point of living a boring conservative life?

HotTug Jacuzzi Boat {The Wood Fired Hot Tub in Boat}

What’s better than sitting in a nice hot jacuzzi sipping on a cocktail with your girlfriend? How about a jacuzzi boat?! This company in the Netherlands built a boat that is literally a hot tub. You can use it as a regular boat or fill it up with water heated by a wood-fired heater. The wide and stable boat is made out of wood and fiber glass along with a stainless steel stove to keep the water as warm as you want it. The boat is available with an integrated electric motor or the option to use an outboard motor. What’s even better is that you can fit up to eight people in the Hot Tug. The Hot Tug price is around $14,800 and up.

The Easiest Way to Burn Fat with Cardio

It’s very common at any gym, people going through the motion of exercising with no goal, direction, or clue as to what they are doing. Before you go running as fast as you can (like most people do) thinking that’s the way to burn the most fat you need to figure out what you want to do. What are you in the gym for? Are you in there for looks, a sport, endurance? What many people don’t understand is that there are three types of cardio. Quit wasting your time and energy and choose a goal.

3 Types of Cardio

Fat Burning Cardio
Aerobic Cardio (building lung capacity)
Muscle Building Cardio

We’re going to focus on fat burning cardio, since it’s what most people want when they go to the gym. Almost everyone at the gym is trying to burn fat and yet you see them running as fast as they can, stopping, burning out, walking. Some use my most hated cardio machine, the elliptical too. I hate the elliptical machine. I say screw the ellipticals and do it the old fashioned way. Most machines are gimmicks unless you’re using them in conjunction to a proper all around workout.

You don’t need to run as fast as you can, sprint, or do bursts of cardio. There’s one simple strategy to lose the fat and it will be a lot easier than you realize. Here’s what you need to do:

Jog lightly at around 130 – 140 heart beats per minute
You might not be able to measure this on all treadmills or if you’re just free jogging, but a good way to monitor your speed is to have the ability to carry a conversation if you needed to. So, if you were jogging with someone you could talk to them without huffing or weezing.
Jog for at least 25-45 minutes each session
Why 25-45 minutes? Basically the first 15 minutes of your jog is burning off anything left in your stomach from your last meal or snack. So in order to start burning fat your body needs to burn your leftover energy source. Once it’s done burning that, it’s next source is fat. Remember, you only have to jog at a light pace, around 130 BPM, which is nice and easy.
Be consistent, Leave your ego at the door, and don’t pay attention to speed or miles
Once you start jogging at this easy pace and don’t get distracted by how many miles you need to get to or how fast your mile times are you’ll find that it’s a piece of cake to jog. When I started jogging at a 140bmp pace I ended up jogging for around 2 miles my first session, which was a huge jump from the 1 mile I was jogging after my workouts. Just changing my pace and not worrying about my speed or what others thought of me as I was jogging slow made a HUGE difference. I started to notice fat around my waste burn off in 2 weeks and felt amazing after my jogs. What also happens, is that you’ll pick up in pace so your miles will get increasingly faster and your heart beat will stat at around 140 still because your lungs will adapt.

Here’s a chart to keep in your head next time you jog:
