iPhone 3gs and Touch 3g users should have their shsh blobs backed up by now! Even if you are not jailbroken!
the easiest way is with umbrella. the hardest part is to put your phone in restore mode and plug it into a computer to get it’s unique id. after that, you reboot your phone normally and put it away. it is never modified. Umbrella is run on a computer and it requires that unique id. the data is actually retrieved directly from apple’s servers and may differ in version from the software on your devise. you can even cache your blobs on saurik’s server right form umbrella without ever violating your apple warrantee or modifying your devise in any way.
overview of the process and reasons:

iPhone goes untethered! bootrom 359.3.2 goes down!
@geohot did it again! in a video that meets @Musclenerd strict standards. This works with the newest 3gs as well as all iPod Touches we’ve seen thus far. no release date yet, but we’d expect it after the upcoming hardware and software updates. 3.2 or 4.0? iPad or new iPhone. we’ll just have to wait and see.

UPDATE
this may mean that a day 1 iPad jailbreak is possible!
UPDATE 2

UPDATE 3
closer inspection of the spirit exploit, not a bootrom exploit. The title was wrong. Still no 359.3.2 exploit.
UPDATE 4
finally goes down with the release of limera1n. (limera1n-on-our-parade)
Userland iPhone Exploit found!
@_snagg and @esizkur discovered a safari exploit! does this mean the return of jailbreakme.com? this effects ALL touch devices and is present in 3.1.3! this is one that will effect all users, jailbroken or not. They presented this year at #cansecwest’s pwn2own.
UPDATE
It seems that this is not a root exploit, they bypassed code signing using return-oriented programming. That is still pretty neat, but it means my hopes for jailbreakme.com’s return are all but dashed.

Stan is The Man!
I just met legendary comic creator Stan Lee! Look! He even took time to pose for a picture.
Our own private screening of Alice in 3D!
Well, by the time the movie started there were about 20 of us, but as we entered the theatre was deserted.
Lovely Day.
After a glorious breakfast and a walk on the pier we returned to Tess’s condo by way of the beach. along the way we met a very social pelican. i shot some video that i will put up here eventually. Download pelican video here.
Watch pelican video here.
Hot time in Oceanside!
After some flaming absinthe and remarkable palaver, we finally flopped in beautiful oceanside. Today is remarkable day to go to the beach.
My grandpa joins the ipod family!
He loves having pictures of the family and all his favorite ol’ tunes at his fingers. He is still getting used to the touch interface. Eventuall we’ll get him set up on the calendar. Calendar is one of the features he was excited about. i’m more excited to get my sister’s iCal wirelessly synced to his. I’m heading back tomorrow to give them some speakers.
