Think like a kid and don’t forget to be one either!

Life is short, you have to enjoy every moment. Sure there are times we want to be sad and as long as its temporary it OK.  Just don’t get all caught up in a slump!  I like to say, “Life is like a roller coaster, sometimes you just have to hold on”. I like to make jokes, be sarcastic and act like a KID! Acting like a child may be one of the best ways to turn your mood around. It takes a certain degree of humility and letting go, but once you do it’s almost a guarantee that you will have a smile on your face.  So go for it!  Who says you have to be all grown up; and if there is someone telling you that you do, maybe you should think about that too!

Google Voice with Android is Awesome

So I have the G1 with Android. I know the new phone (my touch) came out but I decided to wait since they recently announced about 15-20 new android devices in the next year. Being with T-mobile and having 3 lines just for the sake of upgrades is nice as well, but somehow I managed to make all 3 lines expire in February. So much for the staggered upgrade strategy, I guess I’ll just have to stagger them after February, good thing it’s my birthday

But I digress… (more…)

New post with wp2go on my android

Just downloaded the new version of wp2go from the android market. I had previously used postbot, but I never actually used it cause I thought t was a bit clunky. Well maybe my mobile posting will pick up, this new app wp2go seems to have a lot more features, like even some markup styles.

Bold
Italics

Alcatel and LEGO to Produce the LEGO Phone, Hipsters Rejoice!

News on the street is that there is a new toy coming to the cell phone market. Something is telling me that this phone is going to be huge! Retro and old school looks are always coming back and this is the type of phone that you want to be rocking if that’s your style. Detachable color plates give it many different styles and also open up the doorway to plug and play hardware modules.

This phone may even end up competing with devices like the ones offered by Bug Labs who already do modular hardware. Only time will tell… (more…)

Why Pan and Zoom when you can Bubble!

This is similar to the G1 “square” that comes up when you browse the web on the phone and want to see the page as a whole. (more…)

How to bullshit on a big boy/girl level

I love when you get to see real bullshit in action. Sometimes the only difference between a “big” deal and a “small” deal…are the zeros on the check!

Last year Pepsi spent several hundred million dollars on a new logo. Everyone figured they had just ripped off the Obama logo. But now an internal document from the branding company has surfaced: Breathtaking bullshit. (more…)

The (G1) Google phone is for real Geeks, it’s a multi-task maverick!

I seem to like the G1 more and more each day. The whole fact that they give developers access to the OS is huge because it allows them to really integrate the applications on the device.
The IPhone allows application development too, but not the kind where you can tweak or even replace common phone functions.

Take the missed call app, a great piece of software that allows you to change the LED notification to a special color for missed calls and text messages (I have missed texts set to pink!). In addition to that, it gives you up to 4 SMS responses to use when missing a call and you can reprogram them! This app rocks!! (more…)

Update on PostBot!

Ok, so I talked to the developer and was still stumped…ugh. Then I decided to do a little research and play with the app more. What I realized was that I had been using a special program to take photos called SnapPhoto. In this application I had set the image size to large which was causing the problem.

So this post will be the proof that I got it working…hopefully! (more…)
