Too much saltCategory: winter
Considering we have had like one inch of snow this whole winter,the amount of salt used everywhere seems excessive. Its like a crusty salty wonderland.

maybe it is cause I walk but to me Salt is about Ice and also keeping it from building up.... In fact I have been places where you walk and you see white so you think snow and no it is from all the salt....

The New Android Estrip AppCategory: mobile
I finished a new version tonight. It works great on the nook with gingerbread now. Gingerbread enables bluetooth on the nook color which makes me question why the device did not originally enable the bluetooth chip that was obviously inside. I was able to pair it with my apple bluetooth keyboard the way I do with my ipad. The ipad is pretty great but the nook is so much more portable. Its large enough to have a lot of screen space but small enough to be jammed in some big coat or jeans pockets. I only wish it had its own 3g chip the way that the ipad does although I guess tethering with the phone is actually a better deal because it does not require an extra account or monthly fee.
Here is what it looks like on the nice big nook screen.

Version 1.23 had a bug that forced the app to quit on reload. If you are having issues make sure you are on 1.24. Check the market and see if there is an update. If so update it.

Texting GlovesCategory: mobile
One problem with the move from stylus driven resistive touch screens to capacitive finger driven ones was winter and glove covered fingers. The problem exists no more with new gloves that transmit your finger energy through the pointer and thumb. So glad I found these as I was getting sick of using my nose.

HP BloatwareCategory: computers
I got my parents an HP computer for christmas. It is unbelievable how much bloatware comes with Windows 7. I spent about 45 minutes uninstalling just to make it stop asking me to buy crap. Its funny because some of the stuff doesn't even exist anymore like HP webOS tablets. I love how the welcome page thanks me for purchasing a HP webOS tablet when this is a desktop windows 7 computer.

You Bought them a PC? Wow.... One thing I never get is why they give you software that is free for like 6 months... That is one thing (yes prices are high) that I do Give QVC credit for they have had a few computers/laptops where it comes with either 4 years of virus protection or even lifetime of the computer... Plus loaded with software...

The combo rocks.
