Thursday thoughts

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

The dogs are barking at the lawn-care guy.

I get my hair done later on, and hope to get “lunch” beforehand.

I’m afraid that I am going to fall out of the habit of logging in here to blog, and what makes it worse is that my site fell out of google, and so it seems useless to write if nobody can hear me. Kind of like the ghost of a dead person that nobody knows is there.

I took a really-fun day-trip last week up to a very cool, somewhat large, new-age metaphysical shop. It was very cool. I got some things. Took some photos. I always take photos. I’ve been putting my life online since 1996 or so, and I want to consolidate all my various past blogs into one site as a sort of “life-stream”. I’m working on that.

Nokia N95 -3… -4?

Saturday, May 10th, 2008

I was talking to a friend of mine via email and IM regarding the Nokia N95-3 and the Nokia N95-4.  I wasn’t sure what the difference was.  Here is what I found so far:

from my email:

I found some info on the n95-3 vs. the n95-4…

According to wikipedia:

“…the upgraded N95 8GB (N95-2), the N95-3, which adds 3G support for North America, and the N95-4 which is an America-targeted version of the N95-2.”
“…on January 7, 2008, Nokia announced the N95-4, which is the inevitable 8Gb version of the N95-3. ”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N95

I see some contradiciton there. Huh.

If you open these two pages side by side you can compare:

“…it seems the mythical N95 8GB with HSDPA 850 / 1900 is now in stock.”

My brain hurts now.

FlipOut by TeleFlip?

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

Does anyone use FlipOut or FlipPad by TeleFlip? Is it safe to use (do they send any kind of spam to emails or cell phones)?  I am thinking of trying it out but don’t want to subject my friends to spam.

Trying to avoid depression

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

You know… lately I can’t watch the news, or even look at digg (one of my favorite sites).  Negative news depresses me, and that’s all it seems to be, nobody reports happy shit.  Global warming, bad economy, blah blah blah.  It makes me want to not get out of bed.  When I overheard people in public talking about how bad the economy is (while they pick away at their sushi [as I am]) I get REALLY depressed.  I’ve been dirt poor, I’ve been where we had no food (as a kid).  I don’t EVER want to go through that again.  I can’t stand the though.  I need to just not read news stories and find a way to tune out the gossipers in restaurants, stores, etc.
