I finally received my galaxy note 2 this weekend. It definately feels l I ke the future. The device is unbelieably fast. In fact it takes pictures instantaneously.

I seriously can't imagine having an iphone in comparison and its not like I don't have ios experience. I had 3 iphones and and ipad 3 with ios six.

The navigation voice on this thing is totally amazing. It actually sounds like a real person versus siri or the previous android navigation voice. It is literally the best TTS engine I have ever heard. Better than the AT&T naturally clear voices.

The only weird thing is the lack of a deducated search button and the fact that the home button is a physical button. Personally I prefer all capacitive buttons as the last physical home button I had on the iphone broke. I can't understand why they would remove the search button on a device that is so driven by search.

Here is the best overall review of the phone I have seen



It also was my first experience with jellybean All around an excellent experience.

We went out downtown last night. First to see sharon von etten at the town ballroom and then out to the vault and later marcellas.

The city was strangely dead. There were so few people out that is was almost zombie, post apocolyse creepy. On the way home around 2:30 there was almost no one in the street besides us which is pretty rare for a friday. Maybe everyone is already in winter mode.

The drag show at marcellas was the worst one I ever saw. The energy was so low.

Where I will be tonight.

I totally am stealing this picture from @metalpeter #56870 but I wanted to have it so I can easily get to it for future reference. It was actually a lot work sewing all the fur onto the costume. Thanks again peter for taking pics of everyone.

I'm still eating them one week later.

When I saw these, I immediately thought about @lilho.

I went back on Saturday, this time with @YesThatCasey. We got the ultimate Viking feast which included all the sea favorites from last time plus ribs and chicken. To be honest I was starving but the addition of ribs and chicken was overkill.

Last night I took the leftovers and made a fish soup. Tomatoes, wine, oregano, olive oil, snow peas, parsley, garlic, shallots.

We just had normal size lobsters but they were offering a $99 5 lb lobster. The couple near us got it. It was enormous. I looked online and it appears the largest ever caught was around 40 lbs. That seems terrifying.

We ran out of space and had to throw @terry in the truck bed.

I was reading an article on windows 8 which got released today and in he screen capture for the new Bing news it has the headline Romney Wins Texas. That make me want windows 8 even less.
