Ice Cream Sandwich on the Galaxy Note
Category: mobile

Its seems pretty awesome so far. I am uaing the Only One ICS rom from

Some highlights:

Android 4.04
Tons of developer options
The keyboard seems more intelligent
There is S voice, the siri competion
The UI seems really snappy
They solved the washed out blacks in the display issue!!
Cut, copy and paste plus select is awesome and accurate for once
facial recognition unlock
full disk encryption option
ICS google chrome browser
NFC is working but Google wallet still disabled :(
The s pen note app is insane. It has many more options now. It is one of the best note taking apps I have ever seen.
New task manager with screenshots of each open app.

Wish I understood this... I really have to look into getting a decent phone on a decent plan that doesn't break the bank.... Now I'm not up on Tech but I thought I heard something on the radio that there is some apple tech show... and there are rumors of some new thing... The Main thing is that it works well for you...

Wow, apparently when they operated on my brain they unleashed some hidden knowledge of cell phones I never even knew I had. I don't even remember writing that last comment! LOL :)

If you want the smaller size I would hold off for the Gallaxy sIII. It should be out within the next few weeks unless apple succeeds in getting an emergency injunction.

I need a new phone. We won't mention how old and stupid my old phone is. I'm debating between the Galaxy Note and the S II skyrocket. I love the display of the Note but I'm worried that the phone itself is too big for my pockets on a practical level.

paul - 06/10/12 13:17
Ya the phone fits comfortably in all my pants pockets. Voice calls work great too. It is all around the best phone I have ever used. Especially with the ice cream sandwich upgrade.

uncutsaniflush - 06/09/12 22:54
It all looks cool. Do you use it for voice calls? If you do, how is it? And does it fit in your front pants pocket?

Normally I hate Microsoft but this system seems pretty awesome

Its based on a standard language, its free and it runs on android.

The system basically allows you to program event based actions for your phone using JavaScript or by deleting pre-written recipes.

Buffalo Pride 2012
Category: holidays

Hated it. Maybe worst day ever. The only good part was seeing my cousin and the hillariousness of the seagull attack on my brother. Not sure if I am even going next year.

metalpeter - 06/05/12 17:54
Ok I got some wrong info then..... Sorry you didn't enjoy it......

paul - 06/05/12 17:28
The event itself was fine. It was my own issues that made it suck. They definately sold beer. I would say too much of it, LOL.

metalpeter - 06/05/12 17:05
well I'm assuming that you mean the stuff after and not the parade? Wonder how much the weather is a factor in that? Plus didn't they like ask for Donations from what I was reading vs. Free? Also read is it true no beer sales?

Cranky Wet Tortoise
Category: pets

Poor tortoises have been so wet and cold. I hate bringing them in but they seem so miserable. (e:terry) brought them in this afternoon.

YesThatCasey - 06/05/12 10:24
How can you tell that they are miserable?

Franklin and North

Since they fixed the corner they have torn up the street several times. Now it looks like they are going to put in a new sewer system. There are marks down all of the new fancy sidewalks like they are going to have to cut them up. I don't understand why they didn't do all of this while the street was tore up last year.

metalpeter - 06/04/12 16:30
One hand doesn't know what the other is doing? Corruption ? take your pick... Maybe it was so bad they had to do it and they can only do one thing at a time?
