Standing on the edge of life

This rock is somewhere in Norway. I would never want to stand on it.
If we went there (e:Terry) would surely make me stand in it. I think
I'd rather just wait till we are old and tell people that is a picture
of us.

I Miss Being a Cellphone Single

Back in my cellphone bachelor days, I switched plans on a whim, I would try a phone for a month and drop it if it didn't perform as I wanted or I would use three different phones at the same time, and always use unlocked phones. Then I get tied down to contracts for the iphone. To make it worse when the new iphones came along, I convinced (e:matthew) and (e:Terry) to take my old ones so that I could get the newest ones - infinitely extending my contract into eternity.

Now we are all stuck on one plan with AT&T and I want a phone

that is sadly only on tmobile. For me tmobile would be fine because they have tmobile 3g in Buffalo, I never leave like a ten block radius alone and the phone also does wifi and can be tethered to another phone. If I switch then they would lose their discount and we couldn't share minutes. Maybe the phone will just come to AT&T at some point. I wish America 3G could just be standardized on one frequency.

The ethnic place

This place at the galleria had ethnic goods from every culture
worldwide. The interesting part was that most of them were made out
of natural materials, the prices were way cheap and that every single
thing was made in Indonesia. There is something so totally weird
about having all these things made by a culture other than the native
corresponding one.

Shopping on the boulevard

Went to best Buy to buy my Mom's christmas gift. While there I checked out the new nokia 3g netbook. It runs windows 7, or should I say, it should run windows 7. Instead it had the windows safe boot screen.

First of all I can't believe that it was at that point already but more so, I can't believe the microsoft programmers had not updated that part of the OS. It really needs a new look if it is still happening all the time.

To make it worse, after starting up in normal mode, the screen was upside down so all the movements on the trackpad were reversed.

The build quality of the netbook itself was pretty nice. I really liked the keyboard and that it had HDMI out. I was my mac mini had that.

I was kind of hoping they would have had the nokia n900

which is the "not phone" (nokia n810) I used to have but with 3g built in. It was sorely missing that before. Its pretty much my dream phone.

A linux computer/phone with keyboard that is totally open but I am not in the market to invest another $500 into the nokia tablet craze. I already had the n 7710, the n800, and the n810, each of which cost more than $400.

I guess wii is not that popular anymore. I remember I couple christmas' ago when I actually wanted one and there were none to be found. Now it just seems a little outdated to pay that much for.

We also stopped at some xmas store that had so much ridiculous and tacky xmas crap. The craziest of all were the vehicle xmas costumes.

Its weird right? Costumes are not a christmas thing nor a vehicle thing. Who the fuck thought to match those two up. Is it a halloween leftover?
