O Weblog!

I know I have not written in a while.  Yes, I am getting lazy and passive as I did previously.  I will once again try to do better.  On to the topic item.

I had been previously been holding off on purchasing a cell phone.  However, with a need to more and more turn off the Blackberry from work I decided it was time to take the plunge.  The only question would be what network would I go with and what phone to purchase.  From the network perspective, would it be Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint?  From a phone perspective, would it be the Storm, iPhone, or Palm Pre?  Well, the verdict is and I believe you have already figured out my choice at this time.  Was it the right choice only time will tell.  

For those who have not figured this out, I went with the Palm Pre with Sprint.  Part of what influenced my final decision is I really like to try and be technology diversified and not depend on a single brand.  In that same vein, I also like to make sure I get exposed to the various presentations and approaches from different vendors as well.  If you have followed some of my other technological posts, you know I already have some items from the other vendors mentioned.

So far so good.  I really like what I see from the Pre.  The major shortfall I see at this time, is the application store.   If it follows the model of Sprint’s digital lounge I believe it will flounder.  I make this assessment in comparison of Apple’s application store where you pay a small fee for an application once.  With the applications, I have been seeing you may have to pay a monthly fee to use the application.  So, this in turns make the Sprint provided applications more expensive.

Along with the applications comes the discussion about space on the Palm Pre.  Right now, this initial offering of the Palm Pre has only 8 Gb of space, really on 7Gb because of the OS.

The OS is a high point in my mind.  It is very intuitive.  I believe I learned a lot more just by playing with the phone and using the built in help.

So for now, I would say Pre-it if you have not already done it.

Cheers!

There is something weighing heavy on my mind and heart this memorial day.  I am thinking about Kermit Evans. He is the young man that is pictured on my sight in the right-hand side.  No, that is not a picture of me but a picture of my fallen frat brother, home boy, and little brother.  I am throwing the Phi for you Frat. \m/ A PHI! A Phi little brother…06!

So this day, let us remember what this day is truly for.  It is a day to pay homage and thanks to those who gave their lives for us.  It is a day also to give thanks to those who are in service now, and those who have served.  Thank you.

Well, a lot has changed since I last made an entry.  I will have to catch you up on that.  I will hopefully do that over the next couple of weeks.  But for today, I did yard work.  I am glad to say that I finished and the yard looks great.  I can thank my dad for showing me how to do a yard proper.  Thanks Pop!  Love You.  Love you too Mom!

Cheers

Shout out for the North Carolina.  Way to go Tar Heels!

I know.  I am still dragging my feet on posting.  I go through this cycle.  It will get better, and hopefully I will be back to adding picture content as well.

I know I have been dragging my feet in regards to posting for a while.  With the weather starting to warm up, I hope I will do better.

Our new 44th president has been sworn in.  What a time we live in.  I will post more on this later.

Cheers!
