Yey! After a long time of being a little dormant, except for twitter of course, I decided to upgrade my blog! (and I did it all by myself) Here is to running on 2.8.4!

But I digress…

I have a Google voice account and Google Inc. just released their version of the Google voice application in the market. It was immediately hit with bad comments due to its methodology, too bad that people don’t bother to read instructions. This is an awesome integration of Google voice directly into the OS. All you have to do is add the Google voice toggle icon onto your home screen. Then you can instantly switch between your actual phone number and the Google voice number, and unlike the other app in the market called “GV”, it uses all the same dialer and contacts to do stuff.When you make a phone call with Google’s app it actually shows a little Google voice icon on the bottom of the screen, very cool.

There are a few missing features in Google’s application, but nothing that can’t be fixed with a simple upgrade. The main thing is that you can’t select do not disturb through their app, but you can always use both!

Now all i need is the ability to add multiple numbers to google voice. It would be nice to have a number for the east coast, west coast and a international number say in London wouldnt be to shabby either.

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
And links

Which I think is pretty cool, oh did I mention you could blockquote stuff too?

I added a pic, I like to have it on top, since its a typical format, and wp2go let’s you do that, or pick bottom if you like…I hope the pic formats good…let’s see.

Update! The pic looks awesome and formatted perfectly… now all I need is the developer to add the ability to upload keys.

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…

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.

This just seems a lot cooler!

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.

See, there’s no way the branding agency could charge millions if they just went in and told Pepsi, “Yea, we kinda rotated your old logo a little bit, and made the wavy white line thingy in the middle go diagonal.” Instead, they prepared this 27-page document, titled “BREATHTAKING Design Strategy,” to prove that this logo is a veritable Da Vinci Code of branding, drawing on everything from magnetic fields to the “Golden Ratio.” Highlights:

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!!

Then there is an app SMS screen alert prefs, it gives that cool popup that the iphone uses…hell there is even a full text message replacement (ChompSMS) with a better on screen keyboard than the iphone (it’s exactly the same but vibrates when hitting letters). Then the android platform lets you choose which program you want to use when getting a message and you can set a new default if you like the app better than the default SMS feature.

So what could the IPhone app store release that the developers for google’s G1’s app store could’t copy?

Multi-tasking

The multi-tasking operation of this phone is sick! It allows quick movement from app to app and SMS and whatever notifications you have set…and unlike the IPhone I can do all these tasks while on the phone as well. Weird how the IPhone won’t allow you to use apps while on a call, that kind of sucks with directions.

I can be in the middle of an email, jump to am IM or SMS and then back to the email all within a matter of seconds. That with a pearl mouse and a real keyboard, geeks are unstoppable.

** This post was written on my G1 powered by Google!

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

Let’s see…

**awesome it worked, and I can even edit the post after!
