Not the phone
talking about Windows Mobile Wifi Router which really works perfect. I can't believe how awesome it is and for free. Now my phone can act as a wifi router for any device and it gets some serious speed. I am able to surf mobiley at about 1000 kbps download /70 kbps upload.
Go windows mobile. However, much I complain about the windows mobile OS - I am seeing the most innovations in both hardware and software coming out on that platform. I mean just look at what is available on windows mobile for free, this doesn't even get close to how much you could also buy. I can't wait to see the same phone running Google's android - whenever that happens.
Recently, one of the most innovative interfaces I saw on a mobile was this one that let you take pictures of a UPC online and then would instantly install the application over your air on your phone.
Now I freaking love the not phone again.
Here it is skyping The sound quality is great.
Here they are being friends.
And finally a pic of (e:imk2) at lunch today. She looked so cute with her hair did.

Whole Foods, Laptops, and Birthdays
Toys
My new Nokia n810 not phone is on its way tonight. I cannot wait to play with it.
Laptops
One of my coworkers got a new Dell XPS laptop that almost puts my mac to shame in terms of beauty and brawn. To bad it runs the wrong OS. I think Mac OS would looks great on it. It has a 64GB solid state drive. Must be nice but I am not sure that is enough space for me yet and also sports a finger print scanner.
Bye, bye plastic bags
Whole Food grocery store got rid of their plastic bags. No more plastic bags at checkout. What will the coop do in response?

The New Estrip Server Is Deployed
Here is the server at home before we left
During our last snuggle
In the car on the way to artvoice
At its new home in Artvoice's basement
The old server home on retirement. I am turning into a backup machine and 3D rendering station like it used to be.

My 31st Birthday - Family Party
I feel bad because I ate orange roughy which is great other than my enviro checker fish site says it is bad to eat. We didn't release before. It tastes just about like lobster. It is so good. Too bad I will probably never have it again.
And shrimp
This hickory smoked salmon was much like bacon in flavor, yum.
And chicken because not everyone likes fish ;(
After blowing on the candles on the lemon menrigue, wheat-free, dairy-free cake I opened my presents.
And got the juicer I really wanted from my parents.

Dinner At Fuji Grill
We went to dinner with (e:jim) and (e:james) at fuji grill. I ate lots of yummy sushi and decided I definately like Mackerel the best and not the bland spanish one but the silvery, really fatty one.
I ate live scallops. Not sure how much more alive they were as the normal dead ones in sashimi- I mean they didn't move.
I ordered a lot of flavors that all tasted great. I really liked the real crab rolls. The mackerel on the front of this plate was the Spanish kind and it was so very bland compared to the other kind I got on the second round that was so delicious.
I am sure that the surf clam was also one of my favorites. It was the sweetest, yummiest one for me.
So I eat way more fish than anyone I know. Like maybe its unreasonable to eat fish everyday, multiple times, or is it?
I guess there are some of them I should avoid.
Here is a good chart to help you make healthy and environmentally sound choices about your seafood, although I am still convinced I should try skate someday.
Okay, this picture is not from Fuji grill but I looks so good.

Bye, bye OLPC - Sold
I can't believe someone bought it for "buy it now" $300 on ebay in like 10 minutes after I put it up. Clearly, I underestimated the value. Considering we spend $400 for both and one was for charity, making $300 back on it was an insane deal. We also got a free year of tmobile hot spots out of it.
Well that pays for the nokia n810 which I think is a much better linux based internet device for me.

Happy Birthday To Me - the Nokia N810
Hopefully, it will make me feel like the old one did (e:paul,38513)
I lied, after checking my own journal it appears I bought my current one last march which means it must have arrived the night of some other party, not my birthday party, hm - maybe I just have a problem.
I don't agree that this make steh iphone feel old but this article has some good pics
here is the developer site
The nice thing about there is unlike a real phone they have no monthly service fee or anything.

SnapShots
I braved it and for the first time ate out for lunch at a non-sushi place - India Gate with (e:jim), (e:james), (e:enknot), jon, and megan. So far so good I haven't been sick to my stomach although I wish I hadn't followed it with some lemonheads and chocolate. I think that was a bad idea although so far no pain.
Finally, they came and took the cancer mattress away. I am glad. I just wish it didn't cost me like $400 after all was said and done. I figure it prob save son future medical bills.
Speaking of which, just my CT scan alone was ~$2000. The medicine is like $400 for the bottle I got and the scope proabbly cost a fortune too. Who knows about the blood test and the other doctor visits. I guess altogether, so far it has cost around $4000. Thank god I have health insurance.
I saw the BUffalo flag in action today on the John Deer Truck.

Crazy Day
So it's my birthday coming up so soon. On the 22nd I will officially be 31 years closer to dying than I started.
I want to want some electronic but there is nothing left that I want. Last year I got the Nokia N800 I kind of wanted the Nokia N810 but really the only difference between that than the N800 is the keyboard and GPS which my new phone already has. Not to mention no store has it right now. What I really want its the Nokia N810 but with phone line, not just voice over IP and that doesn't exist.
I want a totally open, totally accessible, linux based cellular phone with all the hardware capabilities of the nokia 810. So basically, that with a phone in it. Supposedly they will have a wimax version someday.
I wish it would just happen now as a GSM phone. Its so weird because the Nokia 7710 was almost there and I loved it but I wanted linux and then came the Nokia 770 and 800 but lacked phone. None of those had GOS or keyboard and now the 810 has GPS and keyboard but lacks phone. Its like they alway get so close to getting it right. Maybe I need to just hack it so that I can pull the gsm parts out of the Nokia 7710 and put them in the Nokia 800. That way I could have the best of both worlds. Oh ya, but minus the GPS, argh.
If only the iphone had a real keyboard and was more open. So back to where I was at there is nothing I want, short of a computer controlled microscope which I know I am not allowed to have yet. Imagine how crazy I could go then.
