My Afflation

Well, hot damn! I think it's time for me to upgrade, well ... on contract it says that I have a G1, and upgrading from a G1 to a Vibrant would be an awesome deal, and who doesn't love a BOGO (that's Buy One, Get One - popularized by Payless ). I wonder if I can get it for less, I got the G1 for $179 since I am such a loyal T-Mobile customer ( no sarcasm there, nope, none at all, be sure to read the fine print ). But what would I do with two of them? I just got Josh a Blackberry. And Joy DEFINITELY does NOT need a smartphone. Decisions, decisions ... @hankito and @phatemokid should never have shown me how the Galaxy S blows away the Nexus One in benchmark tests.

The Dell Inspiron Mini 10 Netbook with T-Mobile webConnect gets you online at 3G mobile broadband speeds, at your convenience, at a great price. Enjoy the freedom of staying connected, get things done and have fun on the go.  Well, it looks T-Mobile has jumped on the 3G netbook wagon. Since I already have a data plan for my G1, why can't I use that T-Mo? Better yet, since I already have a Dell mini-10, how about free internet since you also offer a free card ? And really? 200MB? That is not enough data for the type of person (OK, me) who would use this plan.

I've been "moblogging" for years, ever since Blogger introduced the go@blogger.com integration with MMS.  I used to mo-blog from a Motorola camera phone (NOT a Razr), then my Dash, but not so much with my G1.  It's just not as intuitive and the other night i discovered a word limit that I wasn't aware of. My work-around involves using AK Notepad to write the post, and then either email it, or if I had a photo attached, send photo and blog text to my flickr2blog account (yeah, I'm all over linking my accounts to my blog). This doesn't give a lot of control for formatting. I don't like blogging in the mobile blogger.com interface. It's actually more difficult to write, add pictures, etc. And if you lose data connection, there goes your post! For over a year I have been looking for a decent Blogger blogging app. The Android Market has had two really good ones for Wordpress and LiveJournal, and even a Drupal app. It has always puzzled me why Google d...

Image by phxwebguy via Flickr You have to read the whole post. Pretty funny, and amazing. Awesome to know that Shaq is real, and uses a G1 :) "You realize that 'The Real Shaq' is probably a 5'4 White, 14 year old emo kid who's getting his jolly's from the attention, right?' I asked him. 'I don't know. I think it's really him' Today Sean and I were discussing rumored trade situations over IM, and the possibility of Shaq being traded to Cleveland. 'Well, I just got a twitter from The Real Shaq, and he's at 5 & Diner right now,' Sean informed me. 'Let's go then' I said, assuming that I'd finally put this 'Real Shaq' crap to rest. Twenty minutes later we were pulling up to the restaurant and looking for the big black truck that he's rumored to drive around town. 'Maybe that's it' Sean said, pointing at an older, but nice Van and laughing. As we pulled up I saw the Superman symbol on the gr...

Rain drops keep falling on my head 23/365 , originally uploaded by Nannerlady . So, the song goes "It never rains in Southern California ...". yeah, not today. If anyone saw me, they probably thought I was nuts to go outside to take a picture. I don't have the camera with me that I want, so you are treated to another photo from my G1. And since it was cold and wet, I didn't try too hard on the composition. I might try something a little later.
