I am still really liking my EVO.

( rambling reveiw of my new mobile phone (geek stuff inside) )

I got a Sprint/HTC EVO Android phone a bit over a week ago. So far I love it with two exceptions. It doesn't work with gloves on and it's freaking huge making selection of a good belt holster/case very difficult. I like the function but carrying it is a pain so far.

PS anyone want and old HTC Mogul (Windows Mobile 6.1)?

I was Avatar last Friday, flat screen 3D version.

So I started up the new netbook this morning on battery power at about 9:30AM just after I got to work. Our internet connection was down so I played on the laptop moving some files around, and let Windows install an update it has already downloaded. After that the laptop was in and out of standby several times throughout the rest of morning as I ( Read more... )

So this weekend while waiting in vain for Little Miss to arrive I finally took the time to update the ROM in my phone. When I got the phone (an HTC Mogule pic) I got the more expensive data plan for two reasons. First I needed it to qualify for the $150 rebate on the hardware.

I finally read the second, and final, book in Scott Westerfeld Succession Series, The Killing of Worlds. I had been slogging painfully through Difference Engine by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling. Despite my fondness for Gibson’s writing and what I thought was a fondness for the steam punk setting I finally gave up about 60 pages short of the ( Read more... )

So with the deep freeze on Sunday I was reloading shotgun shells, being out of bullets to reload, and watching TV. Blade Trinity came on and I watched. Having only seen Blade and not Blade II I was a little confuse by Whistler's present but that was quickly reminded by his death early in the movie. Without getting overly detailed is was pretty ( Read more... )

The Sci-Fi channel aired their mini series Tin Man. I enjoyed most of the series very much. I love retelling of stories when they take this much liberty with changing the retelling of the story. Along that line I love the retelling of Romeo + Juliet set in modern times (IIRC Clare Danes play Juliet) but using the original Shakespeare written ( Read more... )
