Android here I comeMy Android based phone has been ordered (Motorola X). Tonight I stopped at the Verizon stand in the Galleria mall. It is so much more screen then I am used to now using the Blackberry Storm. I am not going to lie...it looks almost too big. Time will tell but I am sure I can get used to it.
I am also looking forward to using the estrip app. I might be inclined to post a little more and with more pics.

The app is pretty awesome. I guess I am biased.

I love dinners in the summerSo Friday I finally got out the porch furniture and we decided to have dinner outside since the weather was so nice.
Steak, corn, left over cornbread and chop salad with a blue cheese dressing made from a Greek yogurt base.
Last night we made a dish I found in a Men's Health magazine. I can post the recipe if anyone wants it. Off the top of my head it was seared scallops over white beans, spinach, onion and bacon. I think the dish had something like 300 calories per serving (2 servings in the pic) but with super low fat and a ton of protein.
I was always so scared to cook scallops at home but they are very easy and tastes great.

I agree, dinner in the summer is the best. Its a combination between all the fresh things available and the ease of the grill. Scallops are the best food ever. One of my favorite recipes is to pan sear scallops and then make a sauce from cooking down maple syrup and carmelized unions.

Oh man, I read your post quickly yesterday and I thought... what odd looking scallions. They look like potato slices. And why on earth is he scared of cooking scallions?!
They are a mollusc!

Everything old is new againYesterday I dropped my work MacBook Pro off at the Apple store. My Apple Care is up in the beginning of February and I wanted to get 2 things looked at. It's hard to believe I will have had this thing for 3 years!
First, my battery said service soon. This is my second battery and the first one was not covered under warranty. I felt like they owed me a free one.
Second, my screen was getting some black blotches on it from what I thought was dirt and grime from the keyboard. Others have posted on the Apple forums that they were replaced under warranty. They not only replaced the screen but installed a glossy one.
I ordered the mate finish last time because I thought the florescent lights at work would cause a glare. I have found that to be false as more of my coworkers have glossy. Things look a bit washed out to me at the moment. Perhaps my other screen began to grow dim over time.

work funkI have been in a work funk lately. I have been on a committee that has been consuming most of my time working with topics I am not even interested in. The past few months have not been all that great and I feel like it is starting to affect my personal life. I have not had a lot of motivation and I dread coming into work sometimes. Maybe it's time to shake things up a little.

I hope you get out of the funk, you are one of very few people that keep me sane during the workday.

Posted as in from the website or from the estrip app. If you don't have it already download the estrip app from the android marketplace. It should work pretty good as (e:heidi) tested it on her droidX.
