Over at Unplggd.com, they've reported that Best Buy will take your eWaste off your hands at 2 items per person per day. And best of all, free of charge (if you live in Baltimore, San Francisco, and Minnesota). And we all love free right?
I'm going to "free" my Netgear router. God awful POS from hell. Hope it burns from whence it came.
I couldn't wait any longer. I had to get rid of my old style phone. Text messaging on a regular phone is so 90's :) I went ahead and renewed my contract with VZW for 2 years and a new Blackberry Curve 8330.
Wow! What have I been missing all this time? Email in my hands whenever whereever (vzw's network is the best). I can chat with BeeJive's JiveTalk on all chat networks.
I can surf with Opera Mini 4.1. Way better than the built in BB Browser.
I've even given the Curve an iPhone UI
But since the addiction has already started (can you say crackberry?), I am already looking forward to the Blackberry Bold (aka the Blackberry 9000). Yeah, it'll be released this summer on AT&T and if it's all that it's hyped to be, then I'm putting the Curve on eBay to recoup my termination fee :)
Not to be left out of my new handset fetish, I will also be keeping an eye out for the iPhone 2.0. I'm still not sure I can go back to the virtual keyboard after having a fully functional real keyboard.
Time for me to get out of my procedural programming techniques and jump into the 21st century. Time to get on the OO bandwagon.
For a project that I'm currently working on, it's going to be a trial by fire to absorb the contents of the blog title and be proficient...quickly!!
Kinda wish I was learning Model-Glue, but eh, either Mach-II or Model-Glue will turn my world upside down from the way I program sites now.
Scared, excited and up for the challenge!!!
94 year old man murders his landlord, sequesters himself, then has to be taken into custody by SWAT (after being tazered). What's he got to lose? I mean really..how long will he last in jail? GO GRANDPA!!
They're both being released about the same time (iPhone 2.0 will be released in June)
Yeah I know, I sold my iPhone 1.0 because the EDGE network was EXCRUCIATINGLY slow. Now that the 3G version will be released, my eyebrow is now raised again.
But, I still want a blackberry (curve) with a full keyboard. I've played with my friends Curve and I really like the form factor and the weight.
Ugh...guess I'll just have to wait for both to be released and then make a choice.
I came across this new all-in-one IM chat client via Stumbleupon.
I have been using Trillian for years. It's unfortunate that they've taken forever to come out wit an updated version. Although version 3.0 is still in beta.
Digsby is the new kid on the block in my book and wow...it's far and away so much better than Trillian. I've switched over from Trillian within 10mins of using Digsby. The best part of Digsby is the fact that it integrates with big social networks (facebook, myspace, twitter). You get popup updates on your screen when they happen. Pretty slick. Oh and Digsby integrates GoogleTalk too. Something Trillian lacked.
Give it a try. Hope you like it as much as I do.
Yahoo! Sports has just reported that seats behind homeplate at the new Yankee stadium will be upwards of $2,500.00.
Yeah you read that right...two thousand and five hundred dollars for a seat.
I can hear it now, "Honey, I'm going to take out a second mortgage to take the kids to a Yankee game".
I'm a diehard Yankee fan but I have to admit that's just insane. Can you imagine what the rest of the seats would cost?
I might be a little slow in getting to the movies lately (damn you bittorrent!!), but I went last night to see "The Golden Compass" with a friend and her daughter.
The movie's special fx were simply amazing. But....there was the final fight scene that involved a TON of violence (including killings).
I leaned into my friend and said, "and this is for kids?" To which she responded, "yeah it's like Braveheart...for kids"
I had to LOL. Hope I didn't distract anyone in the theater.
Damn those striking writers! Where am I going to get my 24 "fix"?
TV Guide Entry of 24 Season 7
"Even if the strike ends tomorrow, the earliest the show could get back on the air is this summer -- and there's no way in hell Fox is dumping 24 onto the summer season. That leaves the network with several options, none of them ideal. One solution is to just kick off Season 7 next January, but by then Jack will have been in hiding for nearly two years."
Whod'a thunk it!? That the worser (yes i know it's not a word) brother is going further in the playoffs than the superstar brother? What's this world coming to?! I'm a Giants fan and I just have to say I never thought they'd get this far. But, I think their road to the Super Bowl ends in Lambeau Field. Favre is just too good for Manning (Eli that is).
I remember an SNL skit with Peyton hosting the show. Where Peyton was a Sportscaster talking about Office Pools. And one of the topics was, "Peyton Manning is good but crumbles when it comes to tough games and playoffs". I'm glad he was a good sport about the topic, but I have to ask the old adage, "Does art imitate life or vice versa?" hehe
