Barber shop

Well its New Years Eve and normally I don't care about how I look but i'm really scruffy and now because I waited I have to waifor a few hours to get a haircut.

I'll learn next year.

Nothing changed this year. 2011 will be different, I promise.

Home for the Holidays

I'm am here. Home. Playing with the dogs, eating and relaxing. Just what the doctor ordered.

Another Gift

this makes me feel like a kid again.  Wait, I've never stopped feeling young.

My Christmas Gift

Funny how with this whole wiki leaks debacle that Republicans, like Allen West (FL), wants to censor news outlets that circulated the wikileaks document. It’s more absurd than funny, but it shows how two sided and fake they are. On one side they want less government, but when it benefits them they want the government to shut down whatever doesn’t fit their agenda.

• Cutting taxes for the wealthy.
• Having to borrow to pay for those cuts.
• Healthcare reform that benefits the greedy insurance and pharmaceutical companies.
• Leaving Healthcare as it is.

And that’s to start. For Christmas, I really want a Republican, who makes less than $50,000, explain how the list above benefits them. The Democrats, who have a backbone of a rat, have a great list of ideas, but no way of executing them. It’s pretty pathetic, but back to my question...how does cutting taxes help a nation in debt?

Turkey Trip

I'm on the bus now using my phone to blog. It always so stressful getting onto the bus, but when you're finally on and in your seat its very relaxing.

Happy Thanksgiving.

This weekend I will try out a feature with my phone that turns it into a WiFi hotspot. We will see.

Janet - For Colored Girls

I love Janet. The movie was not my favorite, but I did enjoy it.

4G Coming in November

Is coming in November!  So exciting.  Finally my phone will be able to run the way it was supposed to.  I am worried about battery life, but the speeds are pretty remarkable on 4G.

HTC EVO 4G - Two Month Mark

I do love my phone. After having the EVO for a few months, I can’t see myself going back to a 3.1 size screen (Palm Pre).  It’s 4.3 or larger.  Looking at the videos and even typing are perfect.  Finally for my large meaty paws, I have a phone that fits well.  

The camera is the best I’ve ever had on a phone.  Once you to adjust the settings, which you have to, the camera is outstanding.  The phone is easy to use and I love that when you pull up a contact you can see all the call history, text message history, Facebook, Flickr and even their Facebook status updates.

The home screens are a major sell for me. I like being able to put widgets any screen.  Although, since I found the right set up for me I doubt I’ll change it anytime soon besides the wallpaper.  Speaking of wallpaper, it moves according to which home screen you are on. So a picture will move to the left or right and show you more of the image you selected to be the background image.

The Android Market is okay.  I’m not that into games on my phone, but currently I’m loving the retro camera apps that play with exposure and color balance on the phone.  Really adds a great look to photos.

You may laugh at the kickstand, but when I’m at lunch and looking at YouTube it comes in so handy.  I’m all about practicality, so it’s a great addition for me.

The Front facing camera is great, but I haven’t used it too much.  It’s almost like voice calls, I don’t call that much and when I do most people with front facing cameras aren’t available to talk at that time.

I take that back.  There are some apps that make Android special.

• Chrome to phone (pushes websites to phone)
• Twidroyd 
• Voice Search (use voice for text messages, emails and search)
• Mobile Hotspot (from Sprint)
• Bump (multiple platforms)

I took this beautiful shot with the EVO!

4G Signal in NYC

Sending out a 3G and 4G Signal to Metropolis
Originally uploaded by Sprint Nextel

This is very exciting. I already have 4G that's getting stronger and stronger uptown. Guess it really is coming. Now I can really get my extra $10 worth in New York City.

An Update...it's been a while.

Well, still loving my HTC EVO 4G.  I have to say Android takes some getting used to, but in the long run I really enjoy the software.  I downloaded this app that manipulates the lens to create these great pictures.  I took the picture on to the right while at lunch.


I can't believe that September is here already.  The year is coming to a close and there's nothing I can do about it.  I'm looking forward to getting back to the gym again.  I need to lose some weight.


As it gets cooler, I want to start gaming again.  I don't know what it is about summer, but I'm not feeling it as much as I do in the Winter.  In February, Killzone 3 comes out and I have to be ready.  So exciting.


Work is depressing.  I hate it all and need to make a change.  I consider calling out sick every morning.  Oh well, maybe I need some time off.  


I'm still reading The Passage (page 436).  Only 400 pages to go.  Yeah!!


I had a thought...what if I moved to Chicago or Portland, Oregon??


Just a thought...

My New Superphone

I'm using the Blogger app right now and I have to say I love the phone except for one huge thing. The Gmail app. its a memory hog and at one point my phone became unusable. Google needs to work on that before I give it an A.

Other than that this phone is a beast. It's so much faster than my beloved Pre.

Okay I need to pay attention to the sidewalk before I get hit. its hard to type and walk at the same time.

below is a random pic I took, right now

Best Phone Ever

I'm on my phone now. I'm loving this phone.

HTC EVO 4G

I'm obsessed.  It always happens in August, but I want an HTC EVO 4G.  I thought I would wait until next year to get a new phone, but why.  I'm already eligible for an yearly upgrade since I'm Sprint Premiere customer.  So, why not get a new phone.  I'm not leaving Sprint for another carrier.  


Do I need a new phone? No.
Is my phone still working? Yes.


***As of this writing a Radio Shack has one in stock and I'm going after work***


EVO 4G Here I come!!!!

Walk to work

I take the same route (subway and walk) to work and run across the some same people.   


I find it fascinating that we run into these people for months maybe years and don't know them, but are friendly and cordial.


Ahhhhh New York City.

When are we going to learn

Killed for "acting like a girl".  Sick.Sad.What an idiot.  I hope he rots in jail.  Where did he learn that it was okay to punch a baby and hold it by it's throat?





 

Next Book - The Big One

I'm reading the 800 plus page "The Passage".  It is another book with vampires in it.  I was looking for a good summer book after reading "Breaking Dawn".  Steven King gave it a great review in Entertainment Weekly so I thought I'd give this $9.99 book a try.  That's another reason ereaders are convenient .  You can buy a book for $9.99 instead of the thick hardcover that costs $27.00.  So you cut the money and weight.


As of now, there are three main characters:

Amy (little girl abandoned by mother)

Wolgast (FBI)

Anthony Carter - death row inmate

110 pages in I can tell this is going to be one of those books with many characters weaving in and out of each other. These vampires are more monster than Edward Cullen and definitely don't sparkle.  


I will remind you that the book is 800 pages long (more or less).  I was intimated by that because it takes me a while to finish a book with working as much as I do, but I can tell this book is weaving a great story and that something is going to happen  (that was before I saw the subtitle in the picture to the right.  The book is so good, I'm already picturing actors in certain roles. 


I'm hoping to be done by September!

Janet's Blackglama Video

I'm happy to see Janet happy and doing things in the media, but I'm not so behind her peddling fur.  Times have changed and for someone who loves animals this comes at a surprise to me.  


Love you Janet.  I'm imagining fake fur as I check out this promotional video.

"I Knew Them Before"

Technology can be like your favorite undiscovered, underground artist that played in cheap venues with well vodka and tight unisex bathrooms 10 years ago.  Today that same artist is one of the hottest around living in a loft Williamsburg and shopping at Farmers market in Union Square.


"I knew about them before..."
"If you don't understand them, listen to someone else."
"I don't have to explain anything!"
"They got too big."
"They sold out"
"You didn't have to go through what I did"


Someone is always going to think they've earned being a fan more than someone else.  Those arguments never go anywhere.  It's all about options.


I  root for the underdog and the people that are working hard to beat the establishment.  Call me a fanboy and/or elitist and you're probably right.  I made a conscious decision to "switch".  I went against the grain to whole new world.  I was happy when not many people "knew" about the "other side" and took pleasure in seeing them struggle with what technology they thought was best.  Now, as things are shifting and my choice years ago is now fashionable, these noobs have all these complaints and issues.  I have this to say...


"If you don't like it, switch back and never look back".  That goes for phones, computers, tablets, machine guns or whatever.  You have a choice in is this great retail landscape.  If you don't like it, RETURN IT (within 30 days, 14 in some cases).

RIP Grandma

I love you and thank you.

Brendon

My current obsession. Looks, brains and laid back.  He's my Jeff of this season and it would be a shame to go home early.  He's got to get the power of veto!

SPOILER ALERT!  He did win!! Yeah!!!!!!

Big Brother 12

Big Brother has begun.


Every year I wonder if I'll want to watch, but I'm already hooked.The boys, the attitudes all mixed together with a big side of drama!  It's awesome. How will this season stack up.


I want to give my first impressions of the contestants before it gets too far in the the season.  


I wonder if my "thin slicing" worked.

• Andrew - needs a lower profile.  If he's thought of as the saboteur he will be sent home
• Annie - playing well
• Brendon - paired up to early. Now a target. Genuine
• Britney - like her. Seems authentic
• Enzo - strategizing too hard.  He will crash and burn
• Hayden - follower and in over his head
• Kathy - weak physically, which is surprising given that she's a cop
• Kristen - don't know her yet.  Under the radar
• Lane - looks overwhelmed.  Too much in his head
• Matt - sexy appeal, laying low, aligning well
• Monet - very competitive. needs to watch her fire
• Rachel - I like, genuine
• Ragan - Sweet, I like, genuine 

My favorites:

Brendon, Rachel, Ragan, Annie, Andrew and Matt.

Where do I go Today

I love to sit in a nearby park during lunch, but this week NYC has been so hot that I'd be crazy to sit out in the inferno.  

• Tuesday, I did my weekly trip to Best Buy to see any sales items I'd like to purchase.  I didn't find anything.  

• Wednesday, I went to Barnes and Noble to relax 

Today, I'll head to Border's Books to sit in the A/C and read Blink.  

My Summer Memories

Summers were fun for me.  


My earliest summer memories were spent with my Grandmother at her apartment in Washington, DC.  She was funny, energetic and very charismatic.  I vividly remember this candy wheel with these delicious green soft chew-able candles with sugar crystals on them.  I used to think she kept them for me, but I'm sure they were for everybody.  While I was there, 9am to 5pm, Cousins, Aunts and Uncles would stop by and chat.  I met a lot of family through her.  She was like my family's epicenter.   Don't disturb us between 12:30pm and 4pm because we watched Soap Operas.    Young and the Restless, All my Children,  Capital, One Life to Live and Guiding Light.  It was intense.  We watched in silence and commenting during the commercials.

My Grandfather would come home after he got off work and give me the strongest handshake I've ever had.  He had the biggest heart of anyone I knew.  He worked at the same church he and my Grandmother went to on Sundays.  He was loud and his stomach (think Santa Claus) was so big he couldn't close his legs.  I loved him very much (God rest his soul).  He gave me my first taste of alcohol from his own homemade moonshine!  It was strong, but the peach flavor was my favorite.  My Grandfather could have given me anything and I would have loved it.  Funny how to this day I HATE beer, but love clear liquid (vodka, rum) mixed with fruit juice.

I live in an urban jungle now (New York City) and I have my grandmother to thank for taking me on my first subway ride when I was 8 or 9 years old.  It was magical.  If you've ever seen Washington DC's Metro system, imagine it in the eyes of an 8 year old who loved Star Wars.  

Then I turned 11 y/o and my parents sent me away to camp where I learned how to horseback ride, kayak, canoe, shoot a bow and arrow and a rifle.  That lasted until I was 15.  The year after that, I got a summer job at a movie theatre. After I started my job, I saw her less and less.  I let her down because I never gave her a ride in my car when I got my license.

I found out this weekend that her time on this earth is coming to an end.  We don't know when, but it will be soon.  

I am grateful for my summer memories!  

I love you Grandma!

Another Spring 4G Phone

Will this be my next phone?  I like this for the screen and zoom camera features. I have to say I don't use the video camera much on my phone now.

Blog of Note

I found this via the "Blogs of Note" section.

Check the link below.  It's so NYC.  Reminds me of the variety of visual stimuli that you can get from this city.

Nook...My Thoughts

I love it. It's gotten me excited about reading again. I'm actually thinking of starting a book club for owners of eReaders.

I've only paid for one book, but have "sideloaded" so much content on it.

• Samples (from the B&N store)
• Manuals (HTC EVO 4G)
• Library books

Yes, I said library books. I will never (well not ever) have to exclusively go to the library to check out books. Funny thing is you have to return the electronic books...lol.

I'm reading the self help book "Blink" and "Beginning CSS" (library books). Since Shakespeare book are all available free, I put Winter's Tale and Anthony Cleopatra on it too. I have to say as a eReader it's phenomenal. I can't put True Blood, Season 1 on it, but I'll have that soon enough. Because it's so small, I take it everywhere with me. I find myself leaving my PSP at home. Guess I'll pick it up again at some point.

Update:  You get a free tall coffee when you show your Nook.

Full Moon this Weekend

and it's called the Eclipsed Full Moon in Capricorn.

Oh boi.

I did the unthinkable

I finally have an ereader and it isn't made by the company you might have thought. I am the proud owner of a Barnes & Noble Nook. This is what happened.

I got into work on Monday and checked Google Reader. Engadget had a story about a "new" Nook device. I read the story and saw the image of the WiFi only reader and that B&N confirmed the price drop from $259 to $199 for the original 3G one.

I said, "Well this is compelling".

My main reason for getting a tablet "like" device would be for books. Having access to multiple books with the ability to download free ones was just too nice to pass up.

Certain circumstance prevented me from getting the "tablet" device at a discounted rate, so I threw my hands up and decided to wait for the 2nd generation of that device and get the Nook. I'll pass the Nook to my mom. A while ago I asked her about the Kindle and she said it was too expensive ($399) but today I got a call from her asking how a Kindle downloads a book.

I have to say it's a great device. All the software updates have paid off and it's very responsive. The interface take some getting used to, but it isn't too bad. The fact that I can go online and send samples to it and go into Barnes and Noble and get discounts and free books is cool. I don't know when I'll pick up the PSP on the train again. Last night I went to Central Park to read (at least before it rained).

I'm reading...Breaking Dawn

A Winter's Tale - Free

Samples of...

Accidental Billionaires

Eat, Pray, Love

Government by Accident

and many more.

Sidenote: What I love about it is that I can connect to the B&N store where ever there's AT&T 3G service and there's no extra charge.

Racism or Stupidity

I'm am disappointed and saddened that a General would have the nerve to disrespect the President of the United States in Rolling Stone magazine. General Stanley McChrystal should be ashamed of himself. I'm going to get the issue myself, but even if the statements were taken out of context, you just don't say things like that about the boss, when you're a solider and your job is to take orders.

My definition of racism is about power one race feels over another. I believe this General thought his comments would hold weight and hurt the popular President. Looks like he was wrong and hopefully his God complex is diminished a bit. His special assistant has resigned and he submitted his own resignation. Good. If he had a problem with the President's orders, he should have resigned a long time ago. This kind of confusion and infighting does not help the troops or the American people.

Time to move on. President Obama can't tolerate actions like this. He can find another General to head the effort in Afghanistan.

Killzone 3

I could hardly contain my excitement.

Modnation Racers

This game is amazingly fun. Yep it is. That's a Mod I downloaded in the Modspot.

HTC EVO 4G

The phone of the year was officially released Friday, June 4th. I want want want it, BUT I'm hesitant to purchase a 4G phone when New York City isn't equipped with 4G service yet. It's like buying an apartment, but not able to see all the rooms inside. I want the full experience.

I think it's the best phone out there because it represents the future. I currently have a Road Runner cable broadband subscription ($50) a cell phone bill of $70. If I can cut that down to $100 and have Internet service wherever I want would be golden. That's the future. One bill that meets all my Internet needs wherever I am.

Name another phone that can do that at such a low price

Do I know you from somewhere?

6 years of storytelling. I almost cut it off, but I have to say I’m so glad I stayed for the entire run. I was up late watching finale and got up early. (an unheard of 6:10am) so I’m barely awake.

What do I say? I say television like this doesn’t come very often. A show that asks questions and expects the audience to make its own conclusions. A show that introduces 3 dimensional characters that we can root for and despise at the same time. A show that I’ll never forget.

I’m meditating on these themes today.

Wow. It's all about support. Read the message at the end.



UPDATE: Looks like the video was pulled. I wonder why (of course we know).

Cristiano Ronaldo

Football/Soccer...who cares. The photo speaks for itself.

Telephone Remake

Betty White on SNL

This will be the best SNL since Janet!

Sony Dash

$199 for something that I'll view a few minutes before I got to bed and when I wake up in the morning for work. This same information I can get on my phone and laptop. I think this is a great idea, but the cost of entry (like most Sony products) is too expensive.

I embedded this video because the review is fine, but check out the two people in the background. The guys standing up should have been way off the side and they should have worked that out.

Eclipse

Action packed.

Friday Blues

Friday leads to Saturday which leads to Sunday, which means Monday is around the corner. That's one way of looking at it.

Actually, I'm going to do some serious gaming tonight and tomorrow! I also plan to cook something healthy and maybe yoga on Saturday (but probably not).

Interesting how everyone looks forward to the weekend because they get to do exactly what they want to do on their own terms. Shame the rest of the week can't be the same. Guess we have to find a way to fund that weekend freedom. I know I have to.

Another PS3 Exclusive

I gotta have this one! May 25th.

Tardy Thursday

One of the things I look forward to in the morning is a train that is on time. I leave a little earlier so I can pick up breakfast, but when the train is super late so am I. For the last two days the train has been about ten minutes late, therefore extremely crowded. During rush hour there's a train every five minutes. So a car that is ten minutes late has twice the amount of people trying to fit in a car that is packed with more people pushing to get on. This makes everyone's commute...a struggle.

At least I don't have to drive to work.

My chosen strategy when the train is like this is to stand at the end of the train car. That way I don't have to worry about people getting on and off. The hardest part is that I have to be "aggressive" when I get off the train. I'm sure some people get stepped on in that process. My suggestion to them, if you're near the doorway, get off the train while people are exiting.

On another note, I've been stressed out with all my podcast listening. I have so many and with discovering more I'm wondering how can I keep up? There's Buzz out loud, The 404, Dialed In, Digital City, WSJ tech beat, Tavis Smiley, IGN, Savage Love. Last but not least Oh My Pod.

I feel like just clearing my computer all the old ones and start new. If I missed it, so be it. I just did that when I picked up my new HDDVR.

Tonight I will watch my first Blu-ray disk...Avatar.

And...Another Morning

Wednesday morning and I didn't even have a place to sit today. I will be thankful next time I get a seat.

At least no one is talking around me. I watched some MacBreak 276: Quicktime episode. It was very informative and Josh Henry is HOT!!!!! I'm going to follow him on twitter the moment I finish typing this!

Tonight I must sleep because I'm exhausted. I got a new TV and I can't stop playing my games. It's like seeing my games in a whole new light.

Remember, I'm not a morning person

Tuesday morning on the train to work...

Again, there are two people talking right fuckin next to me and this time this fucking idiot man is sitting and his girl "friend" is standing. The worse part of this is that as the train gets loud they are getting louder and louder. They wouldn't have to shout if this lazy ass man would stand the fuck up. Yeah, I'm not happy. It's so annoying hearing them raising their voices in order to be hear each other.

In twenty minutes they didn't shut the fuck up.

It seems like I attract these people to gather near me.

Just had a thought. What other devices would make our lives easier. I know an ATM machine.

Whitney Houston

I have nothing to say...

PS3 Set Up

This isn't me, but this guy's set up is nice. Why buy 4 PS3's though?

Morning Commute

I was grumpy yesterday morning and one thing I hate more are people being loud on the train on Monday morning. I have about forty minutes door to door commute and I treasure that time to just be. The following post I wrote on my iPod Touch. It's kind of like stream of consciousness.

Train ride this morning...

Monday

Why do I always sit next to couples on the subway? Why do they talk about bullshit? Drink your fucking coffee and shut up. My morning train ride is about me reading and quiet. I mean everyone else on the train is quiet and these two idiots are yapping!

I see a Nook. I wonder if she knows the iPad is out.

My train conductor tries so hard in the morning. He talks about sports, holidays and even sings. I kid you not. Sometimes I'm so grumpy in the morning that I don't want to laugh but do anyway.

Also to the men dating women....why do some of you act like such scared little boys around your girlfriends/wives. Man up.

Tuesday
Again, I'm sitting next to people who know each other. This time two males who look like they belong in California back in the 60's. There's a woman knitting next to me now and moving her hands violently fast.

Where are the people who take a nap or just read?

Something I've wondered, where are all the iPads. Why haven't I seen any? Are people scared to bring them out? I know I'm going to get a case for mine. Maybe I'm just missing them.

Sex and the City Poster

Yes I'm excited. Although I hope this is the last one!

Palm...Do I hear 500 million?

I root for the underdog. When Transformers were hot I loved Gobots. Today, when everyone has one certain phone I have a Palm Pre.

I just heard news that Palm is putting itself up for grabs. What a shame? I guess at this point, sell their patents to HTC and get a boatload of cash. HTC hopefully will gain some ammunition to fight with that certain entertainment company. It's actually puts me on the path to get the HTC Evo 4G phone around the holidays. We'll see.

The only time products get better is when there's true competition.

My most anticipated movie...

I can't wait! I was a little concerned when I saw the first trailer, but you get to see more "meat" with this one!

Case for 3G

WiFi will work fine for most situations (if you have access to it), but what about those moments when 3G would "save the day". I'm debating on getting the 3G version of a device.

Here's the deal:

1. Do I need to be able to use the device everywhere?
2. What if I'm in ares have WiFi?
3. Will there be applications that will take advantage of those the GPS chip?
4. What about my phone that has a GPS chip?
5. Is there too much overlap?

So today will be a day in the life with WiFi (with my mp3 players w/ WiFi as the subject)

Apartment

• synced with my computer
• downloaded new podcasts
• updated apps
• deleted old podcasts

Walk to subway

• listened to podcasts

On Subway

• listened to music and podcasts

Walk to work

• listened to podcasts

At work (with WiFi)

• glanced at apps

Since my job has WiFi and I'm connected to a computer all day, I don't need to have 3G in the office (Plus, I need to be working). During lunch I won't be surfing that much, I'll be eating. With that, I may be talking myself out of the 3G version during the week. On the weekends I play games on my PS3 and surf the net in my apartment with my broadband connection. If I do go somewhere, I have my Palm Pre to get my email and web stuff. I don't see myself taking something almost 10 inches long out as I walk in NYC to get my email.

Hmmmmm...I know.

Heavy Rain

OMG. I recently started playing the PS3 exclusive Heavy Rain game and it's a game changer "pun intended".

What other game is story based, forces you to make choices that change the path the characters take. I've never played a game with this high level of submersion. Fighting in this game is intense, it's all about timing and hitting the right button(s) at the same time. One character has asthma, so you must know where his inhaler is at all times or you could die.

And die you can. There are four characters: Ethan, Madison, Jayden and Shelby. I'm at the beginning of the game, but even where I am (3 hours in) I'm invested. There was one moment where I almost killed a character. I survived but it was so exhilarating. I like the intensity of the First Person Shooters but games like this just blow me away.

Click the title for more information. I can't speak to the story too much because there are spoilers everywhere. If you have a PS3, you must play this game.

Touch My Media

Another consumer portable device will drop Saturday to I'm sure rave reviews.
I have to say i'm looking forward to the "touch" fun of the device.

Touching a screen to perform a task is very compelling . It's like you are part of something instead of just a spectator. As devices come out I ask myself if I need them or not. This time it is more of a want than I need because I really like tech and gadgets. With my many portable devices: iPod, Palm Pre, PSP, and laptop I take my laptop fewer and fewer places because most things like the the Pre or iPod can perform most functions. My main concern is battery life. I have dedicated devices so that I'm not caught without music or entertainment. If that happens, what do I do?

I won't have this revolutionary device this weekend, but i will when the time is right.

Whoa. Erykah is back. Listen for her statement at the end.

What do I do....?

There'll be an abundance of unambiguous choices for you to make in the coming days. I'm not implying they'll be easy, just that the different alternatives will be clearly delineated. To get you warmed up for your hopefully crisp decisions, I've compiled a a few exercises. Pick one of each of these pairs: 1. exacting homework or free-form research; 2. pitiless logic or generous fantasies; 3. precise and disciplined communication or heedless self-expression; 4. grazing like a contented sheep or rambling like a restless mountain goat.

Message to Palm

I have a palm pre and I love it as well as the operating system called WebOs. It syncs with my Gmail account (Calendar, Gmail). It's small and has a keyboard. Most importantly, I like being able to change the wallpaper on the phone and multitask (it really makes a difference).

There are other platforms that are out there that I enjoy that have been out for a few years now. With that said, WebOS is a maturing operating system for it's kind and doesn't get the credit it deserves. It's only been live since June of 2009.

Palm needs to get their handset into the hands of as many people as possible. Why would you choose Palm's WebOS over another platform? Palm's advertising needs to answer that question. Here's some suggestions:

1. Synergy with Gmail, Facebook and Yahoo.
2. Multitasking
3. Actual Keyboard
4. Gesture Area
5. Wallpaper
6. Camera w/flash
7. Multiple carriers

This sets this device apart from the rest. If Palm can get this message out there instead of mothers in 50's clothing and pale women with red hair, maybe just maybe they can start to see their market share rise. I sure hope so. The more competition the better.

Capricorn for the week...

The number of bacteria per square inch on a toilet seat averages about 50. Meanwhile, your telephone harbors over 25,000 germs per square inch and the top of your desk has about 21,000. I'd like you to use this as a metaphor that you can apply more universally. According to my analysis, you see, you are over-emphasizing the risks and problems in one particular area of your life and underestimating them elsewhere. Spend some time this week correcting the misdiagnoses.

Haiti

My thoughts and prayers are with the residents of Haiti as well as their family and friends. How much can this little country endure.

Take two tablets and call me in the morning...

We have too many portable devices. I'm in the market for a new laptop, but not buying until the one I have needs to be replaced. Would next next main machine be a tablet. From what's out today, the answer would be no.

I think the tech industry wants to create a tablet market. Just another way for them to sell you more product. What they should be working on is improving battery life. Even though your phone can email, text, surf the web, play music and video people are carrying more devices because one device won't last 6 hours if you use it fully.

My message to the tech industry...

FIX THE BATTERIES!

Negativity

I work in a small office during the day with approximately 34 people, mostly men. It's basically sales. The average age in the office is about 50 years old. People are set in their ways and still believe the 60's peace and love movement was the greatest time to be alive.

That's all well and good, but it definitely doesn't show in most of the actions here. Everyone here has something to say about somebody else. Whether it's their personal life or work habits. I learned early on to keep my personal life separate and boundaries high. I may speak about politics, but no one here can tell you about my personal life. I get along with people and like some of the people here, but I just wanted to give you a little backstory.

So, when I approached one of the partners to wish him well before I left for vacation, he refused to shake my hand because he was upset that he can't take a vacation and everyone else can. That attitude has continued because he sees that no one is as committed as he is. You know what, he's absolutely right.

He owns the business. His business is his work. If his business fails, he's out of work. That's a lot of pressure, but you hire people to do a job. I don't enjoy the benefits of being an owner so my commitment is to the job I was hired for. I don't think that's so hard to grasp. I don't think taking a vacation is a sign that I'm not committed. It's a sign that I'm using a benefit that I'm entitled to.

That kind of negativity does do anything for an office atmosphere. One day the powers that be will understand that. Actually, he needs to read the Four Agreements.

Haiti and The Devil

Pat Robertson is an idiot, but what concerns me more is the idiot next to him. Either she's paid a lot of money or she's brainwashed.
